The Meaningful Life with Andrew G. Marshall

Anita Cleare: Be a positive parent


Listen Later

Why are so many working parents exhausted? Why does it often feel so unfulfilling switching between a demanding job and doing our best as parents?

Anita Cleare’s new book, The Work/Parent Switch, explores the challenge of moving between driven, goal-oriented professional mode, and the looser, more mindful state needed to parent. Anita talks with Andrew about creative ways to switch between the two states, and about how modern parents can benefit from doing less for their children.

Anita Cleare (MA AdvDip) is a parenting expert, writer and coach. She is the co-founder of the Positive Parenting Project, a social enterprise which aims to bring the benefits of proven evidence-based parenting strategies to as many parents (and children) as possible.
