Peaceful Parenting in Action: Creating a Home That Feels Good for Everyone with Sarah Rosensweet [83]

Parenting doesn’t have to feel like a constant battle. In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Rosensweet, host of The Peaceful Parenting Podcast and a parenting coach with over 20 years of experience helping families shift from conflict to connection.

We dive into what peaceful parenting really looks like in everyday life—how to foster cooperation without relying on punishments or threats, the balance between setting boundaries and collaboration, and why enjoying time with your kids is just as important as guiding them.

If you’re tired of power struggles and want more harmony in your home, this conversation is for you!

Tune in now and start creating the family life you’ve been hoping for.

Here are the key takeaways from this episode:

• Connection comes first. When kids feel seen and heard, they’re naturally more cooperative. Prioritizing connection over control makes parenting smoother and more fulfilling.
• Boundaries and collaboration go hand in hand. Setting limits isn’t about exerting power; it’s about guiding kids with respect and working together to find solutions that meet everyone’s needs.
• Your child’s behavior is communication. Instead of reacting to misbehavior, pause and ask: What is my child trying to tell me? Understanding the root of their actions helps you respond with empathy.
• Let kids feel their feelings. Instead of fixing or dismissing emotions, support your child by acknowledging their feelings and helping them process them in a healthy way.
• Model the behavior you want to see. Kids learn more from what we do than what we say. If you want respect, patience, and kindness from your child, start by showing it yourself.
