This episode of The Peaceful Parenting Podcast is a conversation with Alfie Kohn, the author of 14 books including Unconditional Parenting and The Myth of the Spoiled Child. The work of Alfie Kohn has been one of the biggest influences on how I parent and why I have dedicated my career to being a Peaceful Parenting Coach. We discuss why people have always thought parents are too permissive, the nuance involved in “working with” our kids, and why we need to raise reflective rebels who question what they are told.
We talk about:
7:00 Why people think we are “too soft” and permissive with kids
12:00 How black and white thinking gets in the way of peaceful parenting
15:37 “Working with” parenting vs. intensive or helicopter parenting
22:00 Why some kids need more parental support
24:00 Why we need to be realistic and raise “reflective rebels”
