Cultivating Empathy In Kids

I’m joined by my dear friend and colleague Laura Froyen. We have done quite a few episodes in 2018 together.

We also answer 3 of your questions.

We also share 5 things we are embarrassed to admit in regards with parenting. You don’t want to miss!

Anna’s things are related to:

  1. Guilt
  2. Worry
  3. Presence
  4. Communication
  5. Discipline

Laura’s are:

  1. Negative narratives
  2. Automatic Responses
  3. Perfectionism
  4. Projecting
  5. Escapism

There are numerous monthly special episodes we have done together with Laura.

About my co-host

Laura Froyen is a peaceful parenting and respectful relationship coach and a self-compassion advocate. She gives parents tools and support for setting boundaries so their needs can be met and they can approach parenting and their relationships with a “full cup”. She empowers parents to let go of expectations and perfectionism, stop being weighed down by comparison, and find freedom and joy they can show up in their lives and their relationships with open-hearted authenticity and balance.
