Welcoming Maria back to the podcast this week with an episode about gentle parenting. 

What is gentle parenting you may ask ...

Gentle parenting is a parenting style that promotes a relationship with your children based on willingness and choices, rather than demands and rules made by a parent. It teaches children to do what is good by using positivity and patience, rather than fear or punishment.

Together we break down the benefits and purpose as well as the shift in parenting styles from a time when we were raised. It's a great open discussion that I enjoyed having so much. 

You can find Maria Riegger on all the socials.

On this episode we are joined by author of the parenting book "I love my kids, but I don't always like them", Franki Bagdade. We dive into her background, and how she got to where she is in her career, we discuss tools tips and tricks for helping your children to cope in the classroom, the services Franki has to offer and so much more. Then we play a fun game of Open Up.
