Joyful Courage for Parenting Teens

Eps 465: Being intentional - The Art of Connected Parenting, part 4


Listen Later

Join Alanna Beebe, Julietta Skoog, & Casey O’Roarty, the three founders of Sproutable, as we dig deeper into finding the why of the work we do. This week, we’re talking about goals & intentionality. 


Now that we’ve had a chance in the series to talk about our own parenting stories, touched on what’s going on with the fear, shame, & guilt that we all feel, and shared some tips for being okay with the messiness of parenting, now we can dig into being intentional and defining our parenting goals. 


There’s lots we can do to control kids - yes, punishment can work short term. But we want to do better than that - we want to be intentional, conscious parents. We have to step back and ask, “Why are we doing this? What’s my goal here? What’s my long-term intention? What do I want to bring to life in this interaction?” It all comes back to teaching and skill-building.


Takeaways from the show

  • Clarifying what your goal is 
  • Discipline means to teach 
  • We can’t control outcomes, but we can be intentional in our actions & what we bring to the dynamic 
  • “What does this moment need?” 
  • Sometimes we’re the ones in the way of what needs to be taught 
  • Willingness lives inside of intentionality 
  • Creating a family charter 
  • This is a long-term game - no quick fixes in parenting 
  • What about when our parenting partner or village have different goals than we do? 
  • You’re not the only person who will teach your child 
  • Experiences are how kids grow
