About this episode

The episode explores the concept of connective parenting and its various styles, emphasizing the balance between fulfilling children's needs and maintaining personal boundaries.

Join Charlotte and I as we explore the style of parenting known as connective parenting, gentle parenting, attached parenting, authoritative parenting. It's got a ton of names but you might know it best as that lovely sweet spot in parenting where it just goes really well! Yes, those rarest of rare moments when you feel you're bossing it as a parent, fulfilling all the needs in just the right way and still finding space for personal boundaries and constructive support. And we'll be doing a follow up podcast on practical steps to achieve more of these halcyon parenting moments so keep an eye out for that! This podcast is a labour of love, and time and energy and commitment and lots of coffee! It really helps us if you can follow us on our social media channels and comment to let us know if you enjoyed the episode, what you'd like to see more / less of and generally come and say hi!
