On this week’s episode, Michelle Kenney, counselor, educator, and mother of two, joins Amanda to discuss how important connection-based parenting is through toddlerhood and beyond. Michelle talks about how parenting norms have shifted as this generation of parents tries to raise children with more emotional intention, and how consequences don’t necessarily yield teachable moments. Amanda shares why she’s chosen the path of least resistance as she raises her daughter, and how she hopes responsive parenting positively impacts her in the future. This is an episode you won’t want to miss if you’re in the thick of managing power struggles with your little one and wanting to learn how to navigate them with grace.
