ACE Parenting Together

We have talked about various skills and methods that help us to be more effective non-coercive parents. However, these are not recipes to be followed, nor roles to be played. They are practices that implement underlying principles of parenting. In our season 1 finale, we talk about manifesting these principles: How to be authentic in your parenting by honestly disclosing your feelings; How to prioritize being connected by approaching problems together, staying curious, and fostering creativity; How to be empathic by listening for understanding not just what is said, but also what is not said While we are all imperfect, we can grow together. We wish you a fulfilling experience on your parenting journey. Let us know what YOU want to hear on this podcast.
