What is “Peaceful Parenting | POF195

I get this question a lot. Sometimes people ask me because they know they want to be more peaceful, but some people ask because they think it means raising kids who are entitled snowflakes. I get it, and frankly, I wasn’t sure if it was for me until I understood what it was all about. In a “full circle moment” I'm interviewing Kiva Shuler, the CEO of the Jai Institute of Parenting where I was trained and certified as a Parent Coach! We are talking about what “Peaceful Parenting” is, and what it isn’t. We know that our childhoods carry enormous weight throughout our lives. As parents we have to approach the job of raising our children in a new way that recognizes we are living in a different world and we are tackling issues and situations that didn’t exist before. Peaceful parenting recognizes that our children are facing new challenges with mental health, social media, and the online world. Parenting in a more peaceful way doesn’t mean your kids run the show. It doesn’t mean there aren’t boundaries. As parents we know we can’t be perfect, and we aren’t trying to be, but we show up for our kids with humility, curiosity, listening, and honouring who our kids are, not who we expect them to be (how many of us wish we had a little “mini me”? I know I did!). We know parenting can be painful, frustrating, gut wrenching and full of joy, fun, excitement and connection. It can be all these things at once!

Like many of her generation, she had a front-row seat to the kind of parenting that she did not want for her own children. The Jai Institute is the fulfillment of a promise that she made to herself when she was 16 years old that when she had children of her own, she would learn to parent them with compassion, consistency and communication.Kiva’s passion, enthusiasm and effervescence instantly create openness, connection, and inspiration with her audiences. On a mission to change the culture around parenting, Kiva wants children to grow up to reach their full potential, and live their lives free of trauma, shame and emotional wounds. As a single mother, she has built an extraordinary business that has touched tens of thousands of lives, and empowered others who share her mission to do this work.

Parents! We CAN change the world, starting with the way we're parenting our future. Up to this point in history, children have been seen as less than and parented in a way that uses power over a child. Most of us were parented in this way but there is a shift in thinking about the way we raise our kids. Parents don’t feel good about using shame, blame, criticism, punishments, and even rewards, to get their kids to listen. Parents are wanting a different way because they know from their own childhoods this type of parenting hurts and leaves us with scars we take with us through our adulthood. Each one of my episodes is designed to help you navigate the difficult journey of parenting but in a way that is more peaceful and intentional. I’ll show you how to get your kids to listen and cooperate without yelling, punishments and rewards. I’ll show you how to understand your own feelings and those of your kids. My intention is to bring you to a place where you feel connected with your kids and yourself (we often get lost when we become parents!). Tune in weekly for all the inside tips, tools and tricks I teach my private clients to help you build the family you always wanted, and to become the parent you always envisioned you would be. I promise to provide you with fun and entertaining content that will leave you seeing your kids and your reactions in a whole new light! Please make sure to share the episodes that give you goosebumps, and leave you feeling inspired! I am always grateful for every person who subscribes, leaves a review and rates my podcast 5 stars.
