What Influencers are Getting Wrong about Peaceful Parenting: Episode 150

In this episode of The Peaceful Parenting Podcast, Corey and I break down 8 myths about peaceful parenting that keep coming up on social media. We discuss the nuance involved in this parenting approach and what it really means to be a peaceful parent.

We talk about:

• 4:07 How nuance of the approach doesn’t come across on social media
• 5:31 Myth 1: Parents need to be calm all the time
• 9:48 Myth 2: The child’s needs and preferences are more important than the parents
• 17:29 Myth 3: PP is not realistic or actually possible to do
• 21:13 Myth 4: There is one way to do PP
• 27:22 Myth 5: PP is about never making your children feel bad and shielding them from all pain
• 29:49 Myth 6: PP is the same as permissive parenting
• 30:15 Myth 7: PP is just a bunch of scripts and it’s robotic- you can’t be yourself
