Relationship is the Root of Manners - S07E02 This week Sujai and Vivek discuss a very common question, “How do I teach my kid manners?” Making kids say “please and thank you” only reinforces a habit.

Don’t let your kid run into the street and get hit by a car – The Gentle Parenting Way S07E01 Sujai and Vivek talk about how do we guide our kids without using consequences, punishment and rewards? In the Gentle Parenting philosophy we choose not to force our kids to do things against their will. Yet we still guide them, support them and help them learn about life. In this weeks episode we discuss just that, including a real life example of how Vivek helped a rambunctious 6 year old learn to look both ways when crossing the street using Connection, Play and Imagination.

- Being OK with things not being OK – Season 6 bonus episode (00:37:21)
Being OK with things not being OK – Season 6 bonus episode Sujai and Vivek host a group coaching call each week in our membership space. This is the talk Vivek gave at this week’s coaching call. Parenting is super challenging. There are always going to be ups and downs. Our kids will often do things that stress us out, frustrate us and make life difficult for us. This is when it's important for us to be centered and come from a place of deep understanding. Even when things appear like they're not okay it is a part of the natural process of our kids development. In this audio I give some ideas around how to relate to those moments when things are not okay. I'd love to hear your thoughts on what I share. What strategies do you use to keep calm, centered and focused when things are super challenging and stressful? ---------------------- As always thanks for listening and we hope the info contained here helps you on your parenting path.

- How to set limits with your kids... DON'T! - Another controversial podcast with Sujai and Vivek (01:31:14)
How to set limits with your kids... DON'T! - Another controversial podcast with Sujai and Vivek S06E01 - The idea of "Loving Limits" is quite prevalent in the gentle parenting world these days. This is when we say no to our kids about something and they complain, cry, scream and or beg, and we hold firm to the limit while validating their feelings. Gentle Parenting is operating from a whole different mindset. It is not traditional parenting done gently. We don't want our kids to feel us as authority figures that have power and control over them. We want them to feel we are walking alongside them as friends and Wise Guides. In this episode we look at ways to reframe the idea of limits and engage with our kids in a more collaborative spirit. ---------------------- As always thanks for listening and we hope the info contained here helps you on your parenting path.

- Meditation for the Busy Parent - S05E07 Gentle Parents Unite Podcast with Sujai Johnston and Vivek Patel (00:55:01)
Meditation for the Busy Parent - S05E07 Gentle Parents Unite Podcast with Sujai Johnston and Vivek Patel We host a weekly PARENTING MEDITATION in our membership group. Meditation is a wonderful way for us to learn about our thoughts and become more familiar with our body mind connection. This has a profound effect on our day-to-day, moment to moment experience with our children. Life can be really stressful and meditation can help ease that stress. In this special edition podcast we have recorded one of our weekly meditations and are sharing it with you. First Vivek gives a talk on meditation and then leads us through one of the 15 meditations he’s created specifically for parenting. This one is the “Progressive breathing self-love affirmation meditation.” Don’t listen to the meditation while driving! The intro should be okay, but stop when the meditation starts. ---------------------- As always thanks for listening and we hope the info contained here helps you on your parenting path.

"If Then, When Then" How we manipulate our kids and how to stop! - S05E04 Gentle Parents Unite Pod with Sujai Johnston and Vivek Patel When we manipulate our kids consciously or unconsciously, they end up having to defend themselves against us. How many teenagers do you know that react defensively to their parents? They're not being rude, they are protecting themselves. we start the pattern early when we tell kids if then when then. if you brush your teeth, then we'll have time for a story. when you finish your dinner we will go to the park. if you don't at least try one bite you can't have dessert. The examples of course are endless. In this episode Sujai and Vivek explore in detail how to recognize these subtle manipulations and transform them into collaborations.
