Gypsies, Journaling & Tough Convos with Kids
Manage episode 416009614 series 3552117
What starts as a simple conversation about Raebecca’s favorite Netflix show “At Home With The Fury’s” quickly becomes a very deep conversation about our relationships with our children, and how we foster communication and create safe conversations around some of the harder topics we are tackling as parents.
From keeping a journal, where both parents and children write in it, to the pros and cons of having eye contact while you have tough conversations. We talking about the importance of conversations - and that valuing communication and “saving space to talk” is the best, first thing.
The delicate dance of big reactions and over-explaining what’s really in question or even what’s age appropriate - Kirsten discusses how to meet your kids where they are. Add in the concept of “rituals of connection”, those seemingly little monotonous (but not) family dinners, weekly movie nights, and you begin to purposefully save space for connectivity.
We cover really big topics like food and body image and the consciousness at which we enter our own home space every day with our kids, but then we take a second to ponder how different their generation will be because of this awareness and emotional awareness we’re sort of all experiencing in our 30s and 40s.
And we tackle a tik tok book trend - that started a big conversation at school and at home - and how we tackle the more jaw dropping conversations we have to have as parents. Another great episode with our friend Kirsten Hatcher from the “Raising Marriage” podcast !
