In this episode of Freedom Lovin, Kevin reads another excerpt from Unconditional Parenting by Alfie Kohn, this time focused on remaining mindful of how we approach our children with correction. Kohn argues that it’s easy to lose sight of the end goal of raising children when you’re in the midst of conflict with them, but overcoming our instincts to over-correct them is ultimately in their best interest.

Topics discussed:

  • Updates on COVID restrictions lifting in more countries

  • Why it’s important to attribute the best possible motive to children’s behavior

  • Being mindful of how to enforce our “no’s”

  • Why not to be rigid or in a hurry

  • Helping our children develop into healthy beings rather than winning conflicts with them

  • Why children test our limits

 

And more!
