Summary

Episode Highlights With Bryana

What makes conscious parenting different from other approaches
How focusing on ourselves and our own emotional reactions and behaviors as parents is a more effective long term approach and is relationship first
Focusing on “how am I managing myself” as a marker of effective parenting
The magic of taking a pause during heated emotional encounters with our kids
How to understand what is getting in the way of being able to model these behaviors for our kids
What to do when “my kids will only listen to me if I am screaming”
Love withdrawal - what it is and why it is so painful to children, and how to break the pattern
The importance of saying sorry to our kids when we mess up without needing to defend our behavior
What a real apology and repair looks like
Why conscious parenting isn’t just permissive parenting or falsely happy parenting
No parent has an intention to hurt their child but the impact is outside our control and how to understand this dynamic
How our relationship with our kids sets the stage for how they will exist in relationship for the rest of their lives
What boundaries are and how to effectively communicate them
Why if boundaries don’t come from a place of kindness, they are actually about control
Phrases like “I can’t let you” and “show me another way” for boundaries with young children
Why children need to understand the alternative when we put limits on their behavior
When we withdraw love, children will default to loving and trusting the parent even at the expense of self love and self trust
Trust is the first psychosocial milestone in a baby or toddler
Parenting is the opportunity to re-parent and become the parent you never had
“I am not raising you to be the person I want or expect you to be… I am raising you to be who you are”
What it means to be a cycle breaker in our parenting
Specific tips for bedtime struggles and reframing what this experience is like for kids
Strategies for tantrums that actually work - and how to focus on actually being with the child so they learn this internal skill
Approaching parenting struggles with curiosity instead of being critical
