The Promises of Non-Coercive, Conscious Parenting - Why Do It?

In this episode, we will explore the 10 promises of non-coercive, conscious parenting; what we can assure you will happen if you step on this path. This includes the discussion of:

• Kids and big emotions
• How to guide our children without controlling them
• The benefits of mutual respect and collaboration
• Discussion of the underlying fears of trusting our children's choices
• What "problem" behaviours can be pointing towards to with regards to attachment and bonding

Cara and Rythea explore the depths of what's going well inside of their own homes alongside what is really hard in the ongoing practice of non-authoritarianism.

It’s important and essential to put our voices (Rythea and Cara) in a context. We are two white, cis-gender, straight, middle-class women living with financial and societal privilege. Because of this, our perspectives are limited and do not reflect the realities of all our listeners. This podcast will feature guests with expertise around conscious parenting who differ in gender, race, class, abilities, sexual orientation, and histories from us, to broaden the conversation and reflect the lives of as many people as possible. 25% of the proceeds of this podcast will go to creators of color who have been mentors and influences on our work and in our growth as parents.
