Are Parenting Scripts Good or Bad? Episode 184

In this episode of The Peaceful Parenting Podcast, Corey and I talk about parenting scripts which have become a controversial topic and are often at the heart of the backlash against this parenting style. We cover when and how you can use parenting scripts, all the nuances involved in what we say, and how the same words can be used be a peaceful parent or a conventional parent.

We talk about:

• 1:56 How peaceful parenting is both a science and art
• 5:00 Why people want scripts
• 8:00 How the same words can be used for peaceful or conventional parenting
• 13:00 The importance of being authentic to your own personality when parenting
