Welcome back to the interview with my dad, Norman Hill, you've successfully found Episode #6b. This is the second half of our interview about intentional guilt free parenting.
At first you'll hear a little personal father/daughter therapy session discussing my getting into college after struggling academically in high school. I thought about cutting that part out wondering if anyone needed to hear that, but I felt an impression to keep it in there for the parents who are maybe frustrated that their kids don't have straight A's, and hear my dads thoughts on ME not doing so great in school.
After that story, he gives some nuggets about how children can become addicted to praise, and how we need to retrain ourselves as parents. You'll then hear not one of my dads proudest moments as we tell a story from my growing up years.
His thoughts on consistency in parenting might surprise you, because it did for me! He talks a bit about being a grandparent, then he closes with some gems from a 50 year Harvard study on parenting and what really makes a difference in raising thriving children to adults.
For my favorite quotes and links to the books he mentioned, head to this episode full show notes: Guilt Free Parenting on the Beyond Good Intentions section of my website.
