Before launching this next season, we wanted to highlight a handful of favorite podcasts we’ve been guests on recently. We speak with some amazing folks about Upbringing, our mission and approach in practicing powers beyond control when it comes to daily discipline with our kids! 

The Balanced Parent is a top-rated podcast hosted by Dr. Laura Froyen that offers practical tools and mindset shifts to help parents get clear on the goals and values that will help them show up with open-hearted authenticity and balance. We loved chatting with Laura about the value of kids’ daily resistance and how we can examine and reapproach our power as parents to best support it. 

We discuss the power of connection, especially in the hardest moments with our kids. We explore the position we hold as the authority figure at home, and how we can show up more mindfully and democratically with our kids to teach them how power can be used responsibly.  We also unpack and walk through some specific questions listeners sent in-- a  parents’ struggle to accept her kids’ current skills, as well as a child whose meltdowns are really challenging for their parent to support. 

We hope you enjoy our conversation on The Balanced Parent as much as we did! Head on over to LauraFroyen.com to learn more, and check out our shownotes to get more details on our conversation.
