Eps 469: Endurance and evolution – The Art of Connected Parenting, part 6

Episode 469


Join Alanna Beebe, Julietta Skoog, & Casey O’Roarty, the three founders of Sproutable, as we dig deeper into finding the why of the work we do.  This is the last episode of this limited series, and we’re excited to talk about leaning into perseverance.  Parenting is messy!  We’ve got to keep our growth mindset and get into the thick of it to build grit, resilience, and to evolve as parents.  

Get in the ring with these kiddos.  Engage!  We’re not going to get it exactly right; it’s going to be messy, and that’s part of the work.  So often, we just want to get back to comfort, and we use our easiest tools without a pause to see what the situation really called for.   Kids need for us to be in discomfort with them, not fix it for them! 

Alanna explains what mirror neurons are, where our empathy comes from, and why it’s so hard for us when our child(ren) are losing it.  Casey digs into how our own history and inner-child affects our parenting, and Julietta shares what signals we need to keep our eyes open for.  

We often talk about fostering a growth mindset in our children, but how do we lean into a grown mindset when it comes to our parenting style?  This is real neuroscience, and everyone can grow and change.  What do you do when something doesn’t work?  What can you learn in those tough moments and the parenting mistakes?  You are capable of this!  

We wrap the Founders Series with a metaphor that we started with – how do we set our kids up for adulthood with a U-Haul full of tools instead of a U-Haul full of trauma?   Kids don’t have to learn from painful experiences.  We can teach life skills in a way that sets our child(ren) up with a loving, encouraging inner voice.  We can be grateful for what we learned from our parents and still choose to parent differently.  

Thank you for tuning into our series!  We are here for you.
