S09|08 - Shame-Free Parenting

The Parenting Coach Podcast

30-09-2024 • 43 mins

“Because I said so”, “You’re making me mad!”, “Why can’t you be more like your sister?!”, “Stop crying or I’ll give you something to cry about!” … sound familiar? Parenting in the 80s and 90s (and before) was shame-based to the core, and it’s still affecting us and our parenting now, in ways we can’t often see.

In Today’s Episode:

  • What I’ve learned from trainings with Brené Brown and shame (vs guilt)
  • What parenting looked like in the 1980s and 1990s and how shame was involved
  • How to feel empowered in our parenting through becoming aware of our shame, and moving through it (shame resiliency)
  • How you may be, unknowingly, shaming your kids (even when you’re trying not to)
  • Shame blocking us from connection to ourselves and others
  • How to move through shame (it’s SO much more in our feelings and under-the-surface thoughts than in our logical easy-to-access thoughts)
