The Self-Driven Child: An Interview with Ned Johnson
Manage episode 356834852 series 2763438
In this episode, Ned and I discuss the “parent as consultant” way of approaching raising children. It’s important to not solve all your kids' problems, they need to build those skills themselves to face issues in a constructive and thoughtful way.
We also discuss stress and how we all need to learn how to deal with it. As a parent, guardian or teacher, we all need to model self-care to manage our stress levels so our children can watch, learn and mimic that behavior.
The topics we cover in this episode are:
Why it’s important for kids to feel a sense of control
Being the parent and a consultant
How important play is
Why you should let young people solve their own problems
How to be that non-anxious presence in a Child's life
Remaining calm in stressful situations
Understanding that your kids want their lives to be great too
