Episode 166: Conscious Parenting: Mindfulness, Empowerment, and Real Food for Kids and Teens

Naturally Nourished

Parenting is NOT easy, especially with so much conflicting information out there about different methods and tactics. The end game though, is pretty much same--to raise a good, well-rounded human being who can be self-sufficient and contribute to their community. Tune in to hear Becki pick Ali’s brain on the evolution of her own parenting dos and don’ts, how she applies Montessori principles with Stella and how she is working to instill mindfulness and empowerment.

In this episode, Ali dishes on her personal parenting philosophy and how it has evolved thus far with Stella now three and a half years old. If you’ve been dying to know more about what goes on behind the scenes beyond the instagram stories, this episode is for you! Hear about how Rudolf Steiner, Maria Montessori and a dear, wise friend influenced Ali’s parenting style and some of her tried and true tricks for behavior correction, embracing autonomy and handling mom guilt. Plus, learn about navigation of holiday treats, what Stella is digging lately and a recent experience with sugar and gluten at a birthday party.
