!["Thank you, Sarah, for this awesome podcast. I love how you constantly refer back to how “peaceful parenting" is an authoritative approach to parenting- and then keep describing what that means. What you share is accessible and relatable. And I find myself wishing podcasts had been a thing when I was a young parent- I now have teen and preteen grandchildren!

Thank you for doing this very important work. Lisa”
