Today, we’re diving into our current parenting culture- does it support or hinder parents and kids?

To have this conversation with me today on Yoga|Birth|Babies I have Emily Edlynn, PhD. Emily is a licensed clinical psychologist, international speaker, co-host of the Psychologists Off the Clock podcast, and award-winning author of Autonomy-Supportive Parenting: Reduce Parental Burnout and Raise Competent, Confident Children. Emily’s writing has appeared in outlets such as the Washington Post, Parents, Scary Mommy, Good Housekeeping, Motherly, and Psychology Today and she writes regularly for her Substack, Parent Smarter, Not Harder.

Emily and I take a deep dive into modern parenting culture, examining its impact on both parents and children. We get honest about where there might be some downfalls, and how those downfalls especially affect mothers. Lastly, we explore the topics of intensive-parenting or over-parenting, vs. “Autonomy-Supportive Parenting.” Any parent of a child, no matter how old, can learn from this. Enjoy this episode.
