We get into what we are REALLY trying to accomplish through schooling in the long run. What do we expect schools to do and what can we imagine schools to be...now and in the long run?  Not only does he share something beautiful, he also gives interesting advice from a parent's point of view.

Join us for this great discussion and resourced-filled episode with parenting coach Darlynn Childress of "The Parenting Path" where she outlines the Behavior Cycle and how to raise children with emotional connection, even through the hardest moments.     FROM CHAOS TO CALM Become a Parenting Pathfinder today!         The Parenting Path is a parenting model, developed by Darlynn Childress, that helps parents become empowered to create lasting peace in their homes. Darlynn, a former middle and high school teacher and trained parent educator, created The Parenting Path because she was frustrated by the limited models available to parents; models that either focused solely on behavior modification or solely on emotional development. Darlynn wanted a complete toolbox to use in parenting her two sons.  The Parenting Path is a 4-step model designed for handling tricky parenting moments. The steps in The Parenting Path are CALM, CONNECT, LIMIT SET, CORRECT. CALM: Parents learn how to calm their mind when angry or overwhelmed. CONNECT: They learn an easy way to access compassion and teach children about emotional regulation. LIMIT SET: Parents learn how to set limits that work. CORRECT: Parents know how to follow-up with correction that develops resilience. Learn more: https://darlynnchildress.com
