Peace and Parenting: How to Parent without Punishments

The Productivity Trap: Prioritizing Connection Over Productivity


Listen Later

Is your relentless focus on productivity sending the message to your child that self-care is secondary to achievement? Today, we delve deep into the subtle dynamics of threats, bribes, and the elusive quest for productivity.


In a society that glorifies busyness and achievement, it's easy to fall into the trap of believing that success lies in crossing off tasks from our to-do lists. But what if I told you there's a more authentic way to foster cooperation and harmony within our families?  For me, it all happened when I started prioritizing connection over control. From starting the day with play and offering choices to modeling self-care, each step we take towards building genuine relationships with our children can lead to a more fulfilling parenting journey.
