Ep. 142: Exploring Low Demand Parenting: Shifting Power Dynamics and Nurturing Trust
About this episode
What if I told you that there's a revolutionary approach to parenting that's shifting the traditional power dynamics and nurturing stronger relationships of trust and understanding? My latest conversation with Amanda Diekman, author of the groundbreaking book "Low Demand Parenting", explores this very concept. Together, we tread into the challenging terrain of parenting children with highly sensitive nervous systems, sharing insightful strategies and breakthrough research work of Ross Green, Mona Delahooke, and Stuart Shanker.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- What is low-demand parenting
- How to create a post-meltdown plan for parents
