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 personal stories and insights from my 20+ years of experience as a level two instructor and regional coordinator for Australia, New Zealand, and Indonesia.

I highlight what I've learnt from practicing Aware Parenting over 23 years, about the innate wisdom of babies, children, and teens in expressing their painful feelings with loving support.

I talk about how it demonstrates the clear the difference it makes in presence and relaxation of babies and children, as well as in many other observable behaviours.

I also share my direct experiences of how this approach creates deep connection, supports innate non-violence, and brings about profound healing.
