Description
Non-coercive, conscious parenting is a radical departure from mainstream, traditional parenting practices. The essence of the mindset involves collaboration and mutuality with our children.
Through in-depth discussion and disclosure, therapists and parents Rythea and Cara explore the personal and societal challenges of choosing this uncommon parenting philosophy. The intention behind this podcast is to empower parents with education and tools to help them dismantle the patterns that cause power struggles, disconnection, and stress within our family systems.
This podcast is fun, punchy, vulnerable, and exploratory. Let's dive in and grow together!
