Episode 59 - The Adventure of Parenting
Manage episode 359367755 series 2840385
Were you fully acknowledged, in the bigness of your very being, as a kid? Or were you treated more as, well….a kid?
Believe it or not, even as kids, we are aware beings. We’re just in little bodies. But, so often, that isn’t acknowledged.
Instead, so much of “parenting” is presented as telling kids what the right thing to be and choose. A series of answers to set a child up to be successful or fit in. To show kids how to become whatever version of adults they should be.
As a parent it can be a tough job to find the right way to create the desired result with your kids. There is always an infinite number of experts out there with the newest method that many times completely invalidates the one that was trendy a couple of months ago.
In this podcast episode, Sarah Grandinetti and our phenomenal guest, Kate Sarton, invite us to a totally different possibility: one of co-creating with your kids, their awareness, your awareness and the possibilities that are available right now.
Kate walks us through the difference she is with her daughter. From a “yes day” experience to how trusting our children's awareness and co-creating what works for them and works for us can be an adventure you share together..
Takeaways
Acknowledge and invite your children to acknowledge that their joy and enthusiasm for life is a contribution.
Ask: What can I be with them that invites them to be empowered and choose their joy every day?
What is it that you be, that your kid actually chose you for, that is not in any manual, recipe or instructions for you to be it?
