My greatest passion is teaching parents how to raise their children in a loving home. Here is how positive parenting can make all the difference.
What is Positive Parenting?
Positive parenting marks a really important departure from beliefs held by past generations. Beliefs that regarded children as unruly inconveniences meant to blindly obey their parents without consideration for their own wishes and needs.
At its core, positive parenting embraces the truth that children are inherently good and complete beings, and that they have the desire to behave well.
It empowers parents use their position as parents to create lots of good behavior through:
- providing positive experiences with positive behavior
- teaching children in a way their brain will learn
- building strong, loving attachments based on mutual respect.
If the simplicity and power of positive parenting resonates with you, these podcast episodes will be a great place for you to start!
