About this episode

Zazi and Tess discuss managing parenting chaos and the role of gentle parenting in cleaning up after kids.

Whilst messy is best, sometimes messy is enough to push everyone over the edge, resulting in tears from more than just the children. Zazi and Tess chat about how gentle parenting can be used to manage even the wildest of scenarios, whilst highlighting some key language strategies. This is a little bonus episode which demonstrates some of the content soon to be released on their Patreon.
