Peace and Parenting: How to Parent without Punishments

Why Your To-Do List Is Hurting Your Parenting


Listen Later

Do you ever feel like there’s just not enough time for connection? Between work, household tasks, and never-ending to-do lists, it’s easy to let quality time with our kids slip to the bottom of our priorities. But what if I told you that focusing on connection first actually makes everything else run smoother?


Today, I’m exploring a mindset shift that can transform parenting, prioritizing connection over productivity. We live in a world that glorifies busyness, but at what cost? I explore why deep, meaningful relationships with our kids should come first and how that shift leads to more cooperation, smoother days, and stronger bonds. Listen in for five ways to ensure connection is an integral part of your parenting. 


In This Episode

  • Why busyness isn’t the same as success
  • The power of prioritizing connection first
  • How natural consequences teach better than punishments
  • Why homework shouldn’t take priority over relationships
  • The long-term benefits of focusing on connection
