Ep. 107 Why Repair Is One of the Most Important Parenting Tools

Repair does not just fix a hard moment. It strengthens something. In this episode, we dig into why coming back after a rupture is one of the most powerful things you can do as a parent, and what it actually teaches your child about relationships, trust, and emotional safety. Most of us never saw this modeled growing up, which means we are learning it in real time while also trying to teach it. If repair has ever felt awkward, forced, or like you just do not know where to start, this episode will change that. ---- If you have questions, stories, or topics you’d like us to talk through, you can reach out to us at: hello@fiercelygentleparenting.com You can also follow along on social at @fiercelygentleparenting ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠fiercelygentleparenting.com⁠⁠⁠ [https://fiercelygentleparenting.com/]

Ep. 106 You Had a Hard Parenting Moment. Now What?

It happened. You lost your cool, you said something you did not mean, or you handled it in a way that did not reflect the parent you are trying to be. In this episode, we talk about what to do after the hard moments, because how you repair matters just as much as how you respond in the first place. Rupture and repair is not a sign that you are failing at gentle parenting. It is actually at the heart of it. This one is for every parent who has ever walked away from a moment wishing they could do it over. ---- If you have questions, stories, or topics you’d like us to talk through, you can reach out to us at: hello@fiercelygentleparenting.com You can also follow along on social at @fiercelygentleparenting ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠fiercelygentleparenting.com⁠⁠ [https://fiercelygentleparenting.com/]

Ep. 104 Discipline Does Not Have to Look Like Punishment

Most of us grew up believing that discipline and punishment were the same thing. In this episode, we unpack why that is not true, and what discipline actually looks like when it is rooted in connection rather than fear. Setting limits as a parent does not have to mean using fear-based tactics such as yelling, spanking, or using threats or other forms of harsh punishment. If you have ever wondered how to handle the hard moments without resorting to the parenting you swore you would never repeat, this episode is for you. ---- If you have questions, stories, or topics you’d like us to talk through, you can reach out to us at: hello@fiercelygentleparenting.com You can also follow along on social at @fiercelygentleparenting ⁠⁠⁠⁠fiercelygentleparenting.com⁠ [https://fiercelygentleparenting.com/]
