ep # 34 
Mallika and Ashley have a conversation on raising children inspired by topics from the book Hunt, Gather, Parent by Michaeleen Doucleff. 


You'll here us talk about: 

• The lack of meaningful work that children have the opportunity to engage in culturally 
• The pressure that comes from an expectation of parents always enjoying their kids 
• Finding a balance between focus on self and community 
• The potential benefits of inviting children to work on family needs from a young age 
• Shifting our internal orientation to acts of caretaking home as a sacred  
• Link to Kim John Payne's Simplicity Parenting 
• The power of presence in tantrums 
• Simplifying the way we ask for kids participation is daily tasks 
• Letting go of expectations that child will change behaviors quickly 
• Raising children to be embraced by life that's bigger then them 
• The importance of children integrating the needs of others
