Radical Parenting Podcast
Tony Shawcross
Frequency: 1 episode/33d. Total Eps: 27

The Radical Parenting Podcast presents resources, books, and parenting approaches aimed at honoring and supporting your children’s autonomy, self-love, and confidence.
In parenting, there are no ends, there are only means. With that in mind, Radical Parenting is about considering the long-term impact of each moment on our children’s development. This podcast is for parents who wish to honor their child as a complete, autonomous being from day one and who have the humility to get out of the way of their children’s discovery and development.
Radical Parenting begins with absolute Acceptance. From there, we focus on understanding and connection. Understanding and connecting with our children, and supporting their understanding and connection with the people and world around them.

(S1,E8) Parent Priorities with Tom Dyson
Season 1 · Episode 7
jeudi 3 juin 2021 • Duration 59:23
Tony discusses the priorities and choices we make as parents with Tom Dyson, an undeniably radical parent, who recovered from divorce, depression, and a mid-life crisis by taking his family on a multi-year, round-the-globe trip that culminated in couchsurfing across over 30 homes in the US during the peak of COVID. Tom reminds us that the time we have with our kids is limited and precious and provides an inspiring example of a family that has prioritized that time together above all else.
