45: Parenting Myth #7: Parents Need to Be in Control -- Conscious Parenting Coaches Angelica Bastida & Kelly O’Loughlin


Listen Later

This myth is my absolute FAVORITE!  The myth that "parents need to be in control" is both culturally pervasive AND extremely destructive.  I see this as the "macro myth" that everything in Conscious Parenting connects to in some way.  Understanding and unwinding our relationship with control has the power to transform everything.

This is the last episode in our 8-episode series on  Conscious Parenting and the myths that Dr. Shefali Tsabary so beautifully distinguished in her book, The Awakened Family.

To bring this myth to life, we are joined by two inspiring Conscious Parenting Coaches who generously share their own authentic stories of seeing this myth and transforming their parenting and their lives: Angelica Bastida & Kelly O’Loughlin.  In this episode, we look explore:

  • How our very earliest experience with our children - childbirth - can help us see the myth of control
  • Where our desire to control comes from and how pervasive it is in our lives
  • Stories of how we seek to control our children's' thoughts, emotions and actions
  • How learning to give up control can transform your life -- as a parent and beyond
