In the Living Aware Parenting Podcast, I share about Aware Parenting by Aletha Solter, PhD, to support parents to understand the philosophy, practices, and embodiment of this groundbreaking and life-changing approach.

In this episode, I share some of the parts of Aware Parenting that are forefront of my consciousness at the moment.

I emphasise deep understanding of what babies and children need for optimal development, and how Aware Parenting helps us understand cultural beliefs about babies and children.

I also talk about how children are never "bad".

I share about how surprised most parents are about how natural it is for babies and children to have a huge amount of painful feelings, even if we do everything we can to meet their needs.
