Description

In this Making Mama Magic podcast episode, I speak with Kristy Thomas, an early childhood educator based in Edmonton, Canada and a RIE (Resource for Infant Educarers) Associate™. She's passionate about bringing parents & educators together who are interested in offering respectful care for children without the pressure for "perfect". 

I started my empowered parenting journey by learning about the power of presence and connection through the founder of RIE - Magda Gerber's work on EduCaring, so it was really lovely chatting with Kristy on these topics that are close to our hearts, such as: 
  • How can respectful parenting help in building self confidence and trust in our children?  
  • What are some simple ways to start parenting with respect with our child amidst the busyness of life, work and parenting?
  • How has connection impacted the way we parent and how our children engages us? (+ Kristy shares her journey parenting her two daughters throughout childhood and now teenage years) 
  • Is respectful parenting = permissive parenting? How can parents discipline effectively while parenting with respect?
