Want to discover a new way of parenting that can not only transform your relationship with your child… but also your relationship with yourself? It's called Connection Parenting, and it's a philosophy that's taken the parenting world by storm.Unlike traditional parenting approaches that rely on fear, guilt, and shame to get children to comply, Connection Parenting is based on the belief that children are naturally motivated to cooperate and learn when they feel seen, heard, and valued. It's a philosophy that's grounded in the latest research on child development, attachment theory, and neuroscience, and it's backed up by countless success stories from parents who have tried it and seen incredible results.To help us delve deeper into this game-changing approach, I’m joined by Pam Leo, a parenting expert and family literacy activist who literally wrote the book on Connection Parenting.Press play to learn how to raise children who won’t need to ‘recover’ from their childhood, why modern parenting techniques have moved away from the old-school model of punishment and reward, how to break free from destructive parenting patterns you may have inherited from your own parents, how to create a more harmonious and fulfilling family dynamic, what a child having a meltdown is actually trying to tell you, how to help your child develop a strong sense of resilience, practical tips for incorporating connection-based parenting into your daily routine, and what children *really* need to thrive.Head to www.melissaambrosini.com/509 for the show notes.Join my newsletter: www.melissaambrosini.com/newsletterFollow me on Instagram: @melissaambrosini Hosted on Acast.
