In this episode Shelley Clarke dives into Parenting by Connection with one of Australia's leading educators of over 30 years, Ann Hefferan. They share with us through story the different foundational pillars that make this philosophy unique to any other parenting education or tool and how Ann first introduced Shelley to listening to feelings, especially through the lens of baby cries.
In this episode you'll learn about:
- the power of stay listening for helping with children who have experienced trauma
- why the built-in peer support that Parenting by Connection offers is so crucial to the parenting journey
- the unique and distinct style that makes Parenting by Connection such a beautiful tool to use with your children
- what to remember when you have teenagers in the home so you stay sane
- what's really going on for your child during the rough and tumble type play that is imperative to their development
- why treating parenting education like a hobby is doing a disservice to our whole society
If you are wanting to understand the power of connection in parenting, what's driving our children's behaviour, and what they might be needing to create a more harmonious, loving relationship with them, then this is the podcast episode for you!
