Conscious Parenting as a Grounded Parent - Why "gentle" parenting is not the same


Listen Later

I'm moving away from the term gentle parenting and using the terms conscious parenting or grounded parent.

The word can put people off, because they might have certain not-so-helpful connotations attached to the word gentle. This all comes back to our own mindset - words have stories and deeper meanings and stories associated with them. The belief in what gentle means and if we can embody that meaning is just putting too high of expectations on people who are new to thinking about being a different parent.

No one is a perfect parent. Being a conscious parent means you are aware of your emotions, rather than accepting the default of being only gentle, and the more we work on ourselves, the better version of us shows up for our children, and ourselves.
