We are so excited to dive into wholehearted and respectful parenting and what it means with Minimalist Moms Host Diane Boden. This discussion will help you get to the heart of a wholehearted parenting approach by simplifying what you DO to get to the relationship you hope to have with your kid. We discuss how to both acknowledge parental emotions and needs and your child's emotions/needs and meet in the middle in a peaceful place.

This episode is a combination of two separate conversations we had with Diane. In these discussions, we give a breakdown of our favorite tips on discipline as well and how to create an environment of teaching over punishment and reward. We touch on creating rhythms and routines, setting calm boundaries and responding to sibling conflicts. In true minimal fashion we also discuss how to PARENT and talk less and get more results.

If you enjoyed today’s episode we would love for you to share it with your friends and leave a review! Spreading the word helps more parents find us and helps us grow so we can bring you amazing guests and topics!
