Upbringing – Détails, épisodes et analyse

When mistakes are judged, shamed and connected to child’s worth + belonging (conditional teaching):

✔️Kids learn to feel shame when they naturally struggle
✔️Kids learn that conflict is binary: good/bad, right/wrong
✔️Kids hold in their feelings + needs out of fear of shame
✔️Kids are more likely to lie, blame, + defend to feel safe

When mistakes neutrally explored and NOT connected to child’s worth + belonging (unconditional teaching):

✨Kids learn to feel safe when they struggle and grow
✨Kids learn that conflict can be a safe place to learn
✨Kids learn their + others’ needs + feelings matter
✨Kids are more likely to communicate, empathize + innovate

Gah! We’re all trying to give ourselves grace, patience and love for all the “messing up” we’re doing as adults + parents. ✨Can we try to extend those same things to our kids as they learn and grow, too?

Rather than instinctually repeating the inherited phrasing that was passed down to us from generations before, we give you permission to lean into your kids’ learning moments with the very skills you hope to teach them: curiosity, empathy, humor + innovation — a concerted effort to focus on the NEEDS vs the BEHAVIORS.

Before launching this next season, we wanted to highlight a handful of favorite podcasts we’ve been guests on recently. We speak with some amazing folks about Upbringing, our mission and approach in practicing powers beyond control when it comes to daily discipline with our kids! 

Not Your Mother’s Podcast is a top-rated show hosted by Sonnet & Veronica, two mothers who have sought some of the best experts in their fields to discuss the unspoken parts of motherhood, giving actionable insights and support that parents can immediately implement in their life. We loved chatting with them about our power as parents, why we created the RESIST Approach and the incredible opportunity to raise kids with consent awareness and skills. 

We discuss how Upbringing began, the unconscious hypocrisy we discovered when our daughters were toddlers, and how supporting our kids’ body awareness and autonomy is a critical aspect to raising the next generation. We also unpack and walk through some specific ways we can honor our kids’ inherent Freedoms, doing WITH rather than TO them during daily caregiving challenges. From bathtime to diapering to car seats to dressing, we unpack how we can practice and promote the concept of consent. Fun stuff!

We hope you enjoy our conversation on Not Your Mother’s Podcast as much as we did! Head on over to NotYourMothersPodcast.com to learn more, and check out our shownotes to get more details on our conversation and Sonnet & Veronica’s podcast links.

Before launching this next season of Upbringing, we’d like to share a handful of favorite podcast episodes we’ve been interviewed on recently. For the next few weeks, tune in as we connect with inspiring parenting communities about our radical mission to practice powers beyond control when it comes to daily discipline!

Find the Magic is a top-rated podcast hosted by three mothers who aspire to help cultivate meaningful family connections through unconditional love, respect and wholehearted awareness. They offer tips and strategies to create peace, authenticity and self-love in families, and we really enjoyed chatting with them about the beauty and necessity of kids’ resistance and how we can bravely work with- rather than against- it to empower the next generation. 

We talk in broad terms about the beauty of growing up alongside our kids, our power + privilege as parents, and why getting aware of and supporting our kids’ personal freedoms is critical. We also expand on how we can sensitively support specific daily challenges like sibling conflict, toothbrushing resistance, spirited kids in public and chore resistance using the RESIST Approach. Fun stuff!

We hope you enjoy our conversation on Find The Magic as much as we did! Head on over to www.FindTheMagic.co to learn more, and check out this episode’s show notes to get more details on our conversation.

Today we hear from a parent who is at the end of her rope with battles over escalating screen time with her two sons, age 6 and 10. How can we set limits without over-controlling, pulling the parent card or getting intense pushback to the rules? We explore power, control, attunement, independent play, family agreements, loving limits, and some alternatives to screen time itself. 

We also chat ways to bravely engage through respectful negotiations as we support big feelings and redefine resistance for our family and beyond. We laugh, we cry, we lean in… join us!

Today’s episode shoutout is the Raising Rebels Podcast, hosted by Noleca Radway. Each episode features courageous conversations with real parents who are encouraging their children to be fully themselves in a society that doesn’t always celebrate them. Raising Rebels tackles everything from sexuality and race, to co-parenting and money, all with the goal of raising liberated children.

Today we hear from a parent who is exhausted from navigating the persistent frustrations, anger and big feelings of her spirited daughter. She worries about the possibility of her daughter ALWAYS being like this, as well as the impact of her big outbursts on the wellbeing and behavior of her younger brother. We explore temperaments, stress, kids’ brains, boundaries, empathy, acceptance and why OUR BELIEFS ARE EVERYTHING.

We also chat ways to lean in to our kids’ big feelings, rudeness, harsh words, anger and frustration with bravery, boundaries, empathy and the understanding that IT’S ALL GOOD. We laugh, we cry, we lean in… join us!

Today’s episode shoutout is The Parenting Decolonized podcast, which shines a light on how colonization has impacted the Black family structure and explores ways to use conscious parenting as activism against white supremacy. Host and conscious parenting coach Yolanda Wiliams and her guests discuss how to raise liberated Black children without breaking their spirits. We so far have loved episodes with Trina Greene Browne on Parenting for Liberation, Krissy Coggins of Krissy’s Couch on parenting consciously and Domari Dickinson on how to stop parenting from a place of fear.

Today we hear from two parents whose partners are not taking on as much of the learning around kids’ development + brains, respectful parenting and positive discipline solutions as they are themselves. They struggle, like so many of us, to find a way to bring their partners and other caregivers into the work of growing up alongside their kids as well as finding the words to articulate those differences. We explore ways to lean in to these caregiver clashes (as well as conflicts with our children) so we can all be on the same page - open, honest, vulnerable and growing - in these difficult times! We laugh, we cry, we lean in… join us!

Today’s episode shoutout is Akilah Richards, host of the Fare of the Free Child podcast -- a lifestyle and parenting podcast about the connection between liberation, learning, and parenting-- particularly among BIPOC communities. Parents, educators, unschoolers and entrepreneurs tune in weekly to connect about unschooling, deschooling, conscious parenting, and self-directedness. Discussions center emotional wellness, learning, parenting, self-care, and self-love. Her highly-anticipated book, Raising Free People: Unschooling as Liberation and Healing Work (from PM Press), will be released this fall.

Today we hear from a parent whos kid has begun struggling with middle of the night wakeups, then bedtime transitioning, and now daytime apart from parents. We explore ways to lean into his big feelings and resist the urge to fix, minimize, explain away, judge or stop his fears -- but rather to listen, validatek acknowledge, relate to and slowly innovate through a two-way conversation what may be contributing to his discomfort. When we can help our kids attune to themselves, we are breaking cycles of cultural conditioning that don’t serve our child, our family or our world. We laugh, we cry, we lean in… join us!

Today’s episode shoutout is the First Name Basis podcast, hosted by Jasmine Bradshaw. Each week, Jasmine provides tools and practical strategies for parents that have helped us better talk to kids about race, religion and culture. Spanning topics like privilege, inclusion and cultural appropriation to historical deep-dives like the untold story of Rosa Parks, Juneteenth or the history of the star-spangled banner, First Name Basis is an incredible resource we are grateful to learn from. We encourage you to broaden your podcast feed to include this inspiring series and support Jasmine on her Patreon community page. Find the First Name Basis Podcast here and Jasmine Bradshaw at on instagram @firstname.basis.
