Peace and Parenting: How to Parent without Punishments

Case Study: Is Perfectionism Killing Your Parenting Joy?


Listen Later

What if the journey to better parenting starts with accepting our imperfections? In this week's episode, I have a heartfelt conversation with one of my listeners as we explore the emotional process of reparenting ourselves while we raise our children.


Pavlina, a dedicated mother striving to balance her own healing process wants to be more present for her two-and-a-half-year-old daughter. She faces the challenge of overcoming avoidance parenting, a tendency rooted in her upbringing, and aims to create a nurturing, playful environment for her child. We explore the delicate balance of empathy, self-acceptance, and the joy of connection in parenting.


In This Episode:

  • Combating avoidance parenting tendencies
  • Navigating emotional triggers from your own childhood
  • Incorporating empathy into daily interactions
  • The impact of striving for perfection
  • Cultivating joy and playfulness in parenting
