Have you ever found yourself overwhelmed with the challenges of modern parenting? From navigating technology to raising children in a post-pandemic world, today's parents face unique hurdles never before encountered.
Fortunately, the concept of conscious parenting, or what Jenn Wert calls "connected parenting," offers a refreshing approach to tackling these challenges. In this week’s episode, we'll explore a compelling conversation about parenting, diving into the core tenets of connected parenting and how it can transform your relationship with your children.
Jenn Wert, an expert in social and emotional intelligence, has dedicated herself to helping parents lead with connection, curiosity, and emotional regulation. Her journey began at a young age, recognizing her own highly sensitive nature and translating that understanding into her work as a mother, educator, speaker, and parent coach.
We touch on the growing recognition of highly sensitive individuals, especially children. Jenn explains, "It's the background music of every moment... I think it started when I was very, very young." This sensitivity, Jenn argues, should be seen as a gift rather than a burden. "First, I would like for the curiosity and the exploration with parents and teachers working with children, for them first to intervene in ways you would with a highly sensitive child," she advises.
Jenn's message is empowering: "You are encoded with all the answers you need." Conscious parenting isn't about achieving perfection. It's about the ongoing journey of self-discovery and attunement to our children's needs. By fostering a sense of connection, practicing self-care, and seeking support when needed, we can navigate the complexities of modern parenting with grace and intention.
