The Wellness Family show

The Wellness Family

Summary: They say we’re supposed to look after ourselves as parents. And we are. Because when we care for ourselves, we care better for our children, and we develop deeper and stronger relationships. We also enjoy life more! But many of us feel rushed for time, guilty, and stressed from all our responsibilities. So how are we supposed to look after ourselves? How can we? Well, we’ve got some ideas. And some inspiration. On the The Wellness Family we speak with some of the world’s leading thinkers - who are also parents. We chat about their inspiring ideas, their experiences as parents, and lessons we can all use in our own parenting. Join Jodie Benveniste, psychologist, director of Parent Wellbeing, and mum, and her many special guests, as we all create a more emotionally rich and rewarding family life!

 TWF 01: Slow parenting – A chat with Carl Honore | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 28:16

Hyper-parenting...it involves over-scheduling our kids, buying them lots of stuff, and wanting them to be more genius than everyone else in the class. Too much pressure? Yes...both for our kids and ourselves. The alternative is slow parenting. It doesn’t involve doing everything at a snail’s pace. Instead, it’s about listening to our instincts, making our own choices, and celebrating family life. You’ll take away so many lovely ideas from my chat with guru of the slow movement, Carl Honore.
