The Dude Therapist

On this episode of the Dude Therapist podcast, host Eli Weinstein interviews Sarah R. Moore , author of Peaceful Discipline: Story Teaching, Brain Science, and Better Behavior. They discuss how to model and educate a partner on a healthier parenting style, the importance of breaking cycles of intense parenting, and how to effectively communicate with a parenting partner. They discuss the importance of redefining respect, the goal of parenting being to help children thrive, and working together as partners rather than enemies. They also emphasize the importance of being responsive to children, understanding their stories, and leading with compassion and connection.
