Hunt, Gather, Parent Your Family: Dealing With Judgy Adults (Part 2)

Mastermind Parenting Podcast

Our latest Hunt, Gather, Parent conversation was so big and juicy, we couldn’t fit it into just one episode! In part two of this episode, journalist and author Michaeleen Doucleff is back to help us unpack what happens when other adults are judging us for our parenting choices.

We respond to a real-life scenario submitted by a Mastermind parent, and Michaeleen shares her own experience of dealing with judgment from her own mom. We also talk about some strategies for dealing with kiddos when they’re lashing out, and ways that common parenting advice sets us up to struggle with hurt feelings, whether they’re caused by kids or other adults.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

1. That you can feel plenty of judgment from a disapproving parent, even if they never say a word.
2. The approach you can use to handle both judgy adults and kiddos who are acting out.
3. Why it’s okay to acknowledge when your child hurts your feelings.
4. The transformative power of learning from your kids, and letting them know when they’re teaching you.

And much more!
