In this episode, James L sits down with peaceful parenting coach Luke Adsit, joining us all the way from Florida. Luke shares his journey from traditional discipline to conscious, connection-focused parenting—drawing from years of research, personal growth, and one-on-one coaching.
We dive deep into:
Natural consequences vs. punishment and rewards
Understanding children's motivations and emotional needs
Why projecting our dreams onto kids can backfire
The cultural shift away from communal parenting
Building trust, consistency, and better communication with your child
And the courage it takes to challenge generational norms
Luke also reflects on his own experiences as a father, and the emotional work involved in parenting differently than how he was raised.
Whether you're a parent, caregiver, or just curious about how to better support kids in your life, this episode is packed with wisdom and practical strategies.
