![This week I was a guest on Rachel Rainbolt's (@sage.family) podcast! We discussed parenting with Empathy.⠀
⠀
Here are the highlights from Rachel's show notes!⠀
⠀
Impact: We explain how an empathetic response impacts the trajectory of an intense moment, both for our child and for us.⠀
⠀
Modeling: We walk through how as parents we often fixate on teaching our kids how to be empathetic toward others and why it’s so challenging for us to extend that same empathy to our children (and to ourselves) in hard moments.⠀
⠀
Boundaries: We go over how empathy can serve us and our child when we need to hold a firm boundary.⠀
⠀
Intention: We offer advice for not trying to use empathy as a tactic.⠀
⠀
Mindset: We give some tools that can help us come from a place of empathy in our parenting and in the rest of our relationships.⠀
⠀
Integrity: We share some stories from our own lives that highlight the power of raising children with empathy and how our own children have embodied that value as young adults.⠀
⠀
Tune in wherever you get your podcasts!⠀
