Tune in for our interview with Cindy Wang Brandt of the Parenting Forward Podcast and parenting community!

In this episode we talked about:

• How Upbringing came to be.
• Why we should talk about kids on a spectrum of diversity that’s related to their sensitivity and spiritedness.
• What sensitivity and spiritedness mean.
• Why we need to accept our kids exactly as they are.
• How to simultaneously self-regulate and teach your children how to regulate themselves.
• How to navigate your resentment towards your kids’ freedom.
• How to teach your kids to be fully themselves in a world with social constructs.
• Why your most important job as a parent is to teach your kids self-awareness.
• Why we need to redefine safety as former people-pleasers.
• What consent-based parenting is and how to practice it.
• Why parenting isn’t about perfection but repairing connecting.

The Parenting Forward podcast features interviews with thought leaders from progressive faith and non-faith spaces, resources to create better practices in parenting and life with children. They believe parenting is revolutionary, that if we change the way we parent, we can change the world. Follow Cindy and her amazing work!
