  • Summary

  • What happens when kids have the freedom to decide their own hygiene? Today on Peace and Parenting, I'm joined by Ana, a loving mom to two and a strong believer in connective parenting but who is having some trouble getting her children to cooperate. Together, we dive into understanding how connection, rather than control, can be the key to cultivating cooperation and harmony within your household.


    Ana opens up about her challenges with a spirited 6-year-old, whose strong will and logical mind can sometimes lead to power struggles. Sound familiar? I share my insights on dealing with everyday parenting hurdles, like bath time resistance and the art of playful persuasion in toothbrushing wars. By leaning into empathy and letting go of rigid controls, we look at how we can teach our kids responsibility through natural consequences, fostering their independence while deepening our bond.


    In This Episode

    • Connection is as crucial as food and water
    • Playful techniques to encourage cooperation
    • Embracing natural consequences as teaching tools
    • Letting go of control to strengthen bonds
    • Importance of modeling desired behaviors
