Are you finding it difficult to stay calm in tense situations? Just picture navigating through parenthood without using punishments or rewards, focusing solely on establishing a strong connection. I'm Michelle Kenney, and today, I'm excited to be joined by the insightful and authentic Destini Ann, who is a certified parenting coach, author, and TEDx Speaker. Destini and I explore the importance and challenges of self-regulation. We discuss how this approach may not yield immediate results and address misconceptions about natural versus logical consequences. We also highlight the significance of proactive parenting. Destini's insights emphasize that the aim is to build an authentic, collaborative relationship with our children rather than striving for perfection. Additionally, we’ll also leave you with some practical strategies for incorporating connective parenting into your busy lives, empowering you to make a positive change.
