The 10 Keys To 'Successful' Peaceful Par...

Sarah Rosensweet
About this episode

This episode of The Peaceful Parenting Podcast is a workshop I gave recently about the keys to being a successful peaceful parent. I discuss how this parenting approach is about more than the tools we use to get through the day (which are also super important!). Instead, I focus on how peaceful parenting is a way a of life- a new way of thinking about your relationship with your kids and a new way of thinking about discipline.

We talk about:

  • 6:00 Three Big Ideas of Peaceful Parenting

  • 9:00 How peaceful parenting going mainstream has led to misconceptions about this approach

  • 12:00 Key 1- The mindset that kids want to be good and are doing the best they can

  • 13:54 Key 2- Have self-compassion when you make a mistake

  • 18:10 Key 3- Combating our own adult centrism

  • 22:00 Key 4- Watch out for “sugar coated control”

  • 24:20 Key 5- Your needs count

  • 27:30 Key 6- Manage your own needs because it is a long game

  • 30:21 Key 7- Co-regulate focus on calming yourself

  • 31:35 Key 8- The goodwill bank

  • 36:19 Key 9- Find a mentor

  • 39:28 Key 10- Find a community

  • 40:46 The Peaceful Parenting Membership
