Summary

Janet discusses the challenges and benefits of authenticity -- how being real with our children helps us to achieve our goals as parents, strengthens our relationship, and even makes our lives easier. Janet says that it was Magda Gerber who modeled authenticity for her, and her teachings “freed me to embrace my authentic, messy inner life and my messy parenting and my messy relationships. And this is what I would love to pass along in my imperfect way so that you too can be inspired to be authentically imperfect (or imperfectly authentic).” Janet's "No Bad Kids Master Course" is available at NoBadKidsCourse.com and JanetLansbury.com. For more advice on common parenting issues, please check out Janet's best-selling books on Audible. Paperbacks and e-books are also available at Amazon, Google Play, Barnes & Noble, and Apple Books. Janet's exclusive audio series "Sessions" is available for download. This is a collection of recorded one-on-one consultations with parents discussing their most immediate and pressing concerns (www.SessionsAudio.com).

0:28.2	but it does something really important,
0:30.3	which is improve the quality of our relationship.
0:34.2	And that ends up having practical benefits,
0:37.6	because a high quality parent-child relationship
0:40.9	where there's mutual trust and respect
0:44.6	is the key to preventing and emeliorating
0:48.6	problematic behavior and creating more cooperation
0:52.8	because children feel that they're on the same team with us.

1:02.2	But before I start talking about authenticity with children,
