Unscrew You Parenting

This week on the podcast I am thrilled to share with you my colleague and friend Sarah Sproule. She’s a sex educator and the creator of The Evolve School. We talk about how having “the talk” is a doorway to setting up the entire communication and relationship dynamic with our kids (and with others) to have uncomfortable conversations while keeping personal boundaries. This talk goes way beyond the birds and the bees.

This episode is part 2 to the conversation we started having last week about how we create change in a lasting way. Now that we’re all familiar with the Levels of Logic, let’s take things one step further and explore how when we live from our circumstances, we’re still at the level of our environment. We’ll explore what we can do in order to transcend those circumstances and parent from a place of power and groundedness.

How do we create life lasting deep change? Where do we begin? Why do some changes last and other don't? How does our identity as parents affect our experience with our kids? These burning questions and more are answered in this episode - it's both deep and eye opening, and I'd love for you to share with me what your biggest takeaway was!

Critical thinking is one of the most underestimated, underutilized, underdeveloped skills in life. What is critical thinking, why is it important and how do we encourage our kids to develop it? When only 5% of K-12 schools are actively teaching critical thinking skills, how can we bring this into parenting and what’s the cost if we don’t?

In this episode we get granular about the difference between “happiness” and “joy”. How one is externally focused and thus sets us up for disappointment and disempowerment whereas the other, which is a more growth oriented experience and related to our state of BEING. We also relate this back to parenting and entrepreneurship - as we always do. This episode is a mind shifter, if I ever saw mind shifting!

In this week's episode we ask ourselves - could it be that our perception of our children is what's causing us to experience them through a particular lens? and if so, how do we change that perception so we can also change our experience? This is an eye opener if you've never stopped to think about how often you label and judge your kid and how that affects your perception of them. One of the topics I am asked about the most in parenting....

Today on the podcast we will examine the belief that if we don't discipline our kids, they will end up in prison, or something equally terrible. Underlying that belief is a fear, which we're going to take a look at and also ask ourselves if there is actually any evidence based studies that can correlate lack of punishment with increased rates of incarceration? Or is it actually the opposite? hmmmmm.....
