02: Accepting our children for who they are. With Simone Davies

Excited to be sharing my first interview! To commemorate the launch of my podcast, I asked my friend and colleague, Simone Davies, to share some of her wisdom with us.    Simone and I met online quite a few years ago. We then met in person in her home town of Amsterdam and became fast friends and collaborators in sharing our common passion with the world.   What we Talked About So everyone could get to know her a bit better, Simone answered my set of expert questions.    Then, we dove into 10 ways we can show respect to our child. We actually only got through 4 of them so we will definitely have to have her back to finish the list.    Listen in to learn all about the ones we did cover, which are: Soft Hands Listening to the Child Kind Words Accepting them for who they are   Things to Remember: "Set freedom within limits in a kind way." -Simone Davies "See your child for who they are with fresh eyes every day, every hour, every minute." -Simone Davies   Click here for Show Notes and more from Jeanne-Marie, Your Parenting Mentor.
