When people find out I’m a parenting coach, they’ll often say they should probably take a parenting class. Now, you know I believe in the value of coaching. But there are lots of everyday opportunities to connect with our kids and teach them how to navigate the world. Stories you read together for fun can be a great source of wisdom if you just know what to look for and reinforce. I call this the “spinach in the spaghetti sauce” method of teaching kids life lessons, and I’ve got a fun example to show you just how effective it can be.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How books and stories can help us guide our kids, even when they’re not intentionally teaching lessons.
- Why we parents put so much pressure on ourselves to teach kids all the lessons, when they’re learning so much from the behavior we model.
- How to appreciate and activate the educational tools we already have at our disposal.
And much more!
