Gentle Parenting with Maria Riegger

Welcoming Maria back to the podcast this week with an episode about gentle parenting.  What is gentle parenting you may ask ... Gentle parenting is a parenting style that promotes a relationship with your children based on willingness and choices, rather than demands and rules made by a parent. It teaches children to do what is good by using positivity and patience, rather than fear or punishment. Together we break down the benefits and purpose as well as the shift in parenting styles from a time when we were raised. It's a great open discussion that I enjoyed having so much.  You can find Maria Riegger on all the socials.
