ep # 34
Mallika and Ashley have a conversation on raising children inspired by topics from the book Hunt, Gather, Parent by Michaeleen Doucleff.
You'll here us talk about:
- The lack of meaningful work that children have the opportunity to engage in culturally
- The pressure that comes from an expectation of parents always enjoying their kids
- Finding a balance between focus on self and community
- The potential benefits of inviting children to work on family needs from a young age
- Shifting our internal orientation to acts of caretaking home as a sacred
- Link to Kim John Payne's Simplicity Parenting
- The power of presence in tantrums
- Simplifying the way we ask for kids participation is daily tasks
- Letting go of expectations that child will change behaviors quickly
- Raising children to be embraced by life that's bigger then them
- The importance of children integrating the needs of others
