Parenting Paused

This week on Parenting Paused- Leslie shares one of the Pillars of Purejoy- Support vs Helping. These aspects of the Purejoy way came out of a deep inquiry into the relationship dynamics as her daughter grew up.

When you want to help someone, you must see them as helpless. Tune into this week's episode to hear what shifting to support would be like, and what it might offer your parenting journey.

Spontaneity!

What do you notice when you hear that word- when you say it to yourself?

It's easy to get overruled in our homes.

Dinner always happens at six o'clock!

Homework is done before TV!

Clean the bathroom on Saturday!

And we established these, of course, to get a little bit of order and some containers in our homes.

And yet, is there space to show up in the moment around some of those things- when something else is being asked or something else is important in that moment?

This week on the podcast, Leslie shares a personal experience story and examines what it might be like to move from the Heart and what spontaneity looks like in parenting.

Tune into this week's episode for a new practice around meeting and matching your child's energy.

Leslie shares what it was like for her when her daughter was little and had a big charge of energy, and how she worked with what came up for her.
