ep # 34  Mallika and Ashley have a conversation on raising children inspired by topics from the book Hunt, Gather, Parent by Michaeleen Doucleff.  You'll here us talk about:  The lack of meaningful work that children have the opportunity to engage in culturally The pressure that comes from an expectation of parents always enjoying their kids Finding a balance between focus on self and community The potential benefits of inviting children to work on family needs from a young age Shifting our internal orientation to acts of caretaking home as a sacred  Link to Kim John Payne's Simplicity Parenting The power of presence in tantrums Simplifying the way we ask for kids participation is daily tasks Letting go of expectations that child will change behaviors quickly Raising children to be embraced by life that's bigger then them The importance of children integrating the needs of others   Mallika's Instagram  Mallika's Website  Ashley’s Instagram  Ashley's Website  Support the show (https://www.thewildandwise.com/donate) Support the show (https://www.thewildandwise.com/donate)
