S01|04 - Radical Connection

Positive parenting goes by so many names, but the gist is always the same: relationship and connection above all. The real power of this philosophy is that children naturally want to love their parents, be close to them, and respect them. As we make developing this connection with our children the primary focus; and focus less on doing things to mitigate the negative behaviours, those behaviours will actually decrease over time. This sounds so strange to so many people, it sounds like avoidance and denial, but its not, it is the best way to develop lasting change for even the most difficult behaviours. The reason is that when your child has this radical connection with you, they will want to make you happy, they will be drawn to do good things because they will love to feel the love that comes from those actions. When a child makes mistakes, which they still will, they know of their own accord that they have done wrong. They don’t need that discomfort or pain to be magnified by the very person who is supposed to love them the most and help comfort them through these feelings. One of the biggest mistakes I see parents make, is getting in the way of the natural cycle that goes on in a child when they do something wrong. Focus on building radical connection above all else.

This episode of The Freedom Moms Podcast covers:

• What positive parenting is and why I call it “radical connection”
• What it is not, and some myths around it
• It’s focus on relationship above all
