Episode 234: Embodying loving limits

In this episode, I dive into the concept of embodying loving limits: a term I coined to describe the process which is integral to the Aware Parenting approach created by Aletha Solter, PhD. I share my experiences and challenges that I faced in practicing loving limits, both with my daughter and son. I also emphasise how the practice of loving limits contrasts with typical authoritarian or permissive parenting models. I highlight the nuanced understanding and deep inner work required to truly embody this practice, sharing insights from my own journey. Throughout, I highlight the profound influence loving limits can have for children, their parents, and the relationship between the two of them.
