In this interview, Mr. Chazz discusses many important topics, including:
- Why it's natural for children to push back on boundaries; how to understand and validate emotions while still upholding healthy limits
- The importance of empathy in connecting with children
- Why shaming, blaming, and punishment aren't the answer
- How to work with children's brain development instead of against it
- Acknowledgement that different children co-regulate in different ways
- The importance of holding space for children's feelings
- Understanding that how we parent our children today affects their mental health later (and some specific ways it manifests)
- How we break free of generational and/or cultural norms that aren't in line with gentle, conscious, positive parenting
