Are you feeling overwhelmed with all the conflicting parenting advice out there? In this episode, I'm joined by Raised Good's Tracy Gillett to discuss how one simple guiding principle can serve as your parenting compass.

 

In this episode, we explore:

 

- How the attachment relationship comes into play when our kids are "pushing our buttons" and what we can do to decrease how often they test the limits.

 

- What rupture and repair is and how this can be an underrated and incredibly impactful strategy to utilize in to strengthen your connection with your child.

 

- The empowering mindset shift you need to start "breaking the rules" and trusting your gut, plus how to get past the anxiety that can come with making these decisions. 

 

- The single overarching question you can use as your guiding compass (spoiler alert: it's all about connection) to inform every single parenting question and choice you're faced with throughout your child's life.

 

- The trap we can find ourselves in between authenticity and attachment, and how to help our kids avoid those same pitfalls we may have experienced in our own childhoods. 

 

- The misconception that you must choose between connection and discipline, and exactly how we can effectively discipline our kids.

 

- Practical strategies for building your parenting toolbox, like how and when to "bank connection," where to incorporate playfulness, and much more!

 

Whether you're new to parenting or looking to deepen your connection with your kids, this conversation will offer valuable insights and practical tips on how to parent with intention and authenticity.
