Through the Looking Glass: Thoughts on Parenting February Episode

20 Minutes with Bronwyn

As you may know, Season 4 of this podcast is all about responding to YOUR questions. Your interests.

And lately, I have been asked a LOT about my parenting philosophy. Which honestly, I think is RICH because I really don’t know what the hell I’m doing.

BUT, I do have 15 years+ of experience of being a parent, and I have worked EXTREMELY hard at being the best version of myself as a mother, without being weird about it.

So this episode is my attempt to offer parents of all stripes (this isn’t just a mothering conversation) three things:

1. The core beliefs that have been essential to me as a parent
2. The systems and habits that have paid massive dividends to our little fam, and lastly …
3. The #fails. The What I Wish I’d Knowns. The things I’d love to impart to the young parents coming up—or the ones who still have time to course-correct before their chickens fly the coop.

Give it a listen, and below are the books/resources I mention during the show:

• Blessings of a Skinned Knee: Raising Resilient Children by Wendy Mogel
• Love & Logic Positive parenting workshops, books, resources
• Playful Parenting by Lawrence J. Cohen

As always, I thank you for your ears and hearts. Can’t wait to hear what you think about this one. It’s a deeply personal episode for me.
