Jesse and I are speaking about “slacker parenting” this week on the podcast. This time period may appear a bit odd or like the other of the form of father or mother you’d need to be, however hear us out… as a result of it’s not precisely what it seems like!
I not too long ago learn a pre-release copy of Alli Worthington’s upcoming guide Remaining You Whereas Elevating Them and that’s the place I received the phrase from. Alli talks about how children are sometimes far more succesful than we predict they’re. What wouldn’t it seem like for us to offer them extra alternatives to be in control of their very own tasks — comparable to getting up and on the brink of go away for college, making their very own lunches, managing their very own homework, and many others.
I so agreed with what she jokingly referred to as “slacker parenting” as a result of it’s about elevating our children to be adults, to take possession of their life and choices, and to be taught private duty from a younger age.
On this episode, we discuss extra about what this has appeared like in our house, the way it frees us as much as get pleasure from our children extra, why it’s a present we give our children, and the way it helps put together them extra for all times and their future.
