More Episodes

Back for part two of their chat on conscientious parenting, Mason and Tahnee come together today to expand their discourse into the area of the conscious and subconscious mind, exploring how ingrained patterns of thinking and behaving influence our ability to show up for our children and partners in the ways we desire, highlighting that awareness and presence are ultimately at the crux of all these things.

Tahnee speaks to the RIE parenting method and the work of Magda Gerber and Janet Landsbury, sharing their framework around empathy, and how to use it as a tool of enquiry and understanding, especially when experiencing interpersonal difficulties with your child.
 

The topic of empathy poses the existential question; how do we walk on the hot coals of our experience with grace and regulation?

Tahnee and Mason both champion engaging with personal practice and developing tools that enhance the cultivation of your mental, physical and spiritual capacity, whether these be through herbal allies, meditation, movement, breath or self compassion. 

Tahnee emphasises how difficult it can be to break habitual patterns, recounting a recent experience she had relocating the tea towels in her house, Tahnee found she kept going back to their previous location, which stands as a simple (and very sweet) reminder that it takes time to change and it's imperative that we allow ourselves humility as our bodies and minds catch up to new terrain.

Rhythm, routine and being realistic with expectations is also explored, along with using play as a tool for learning. 

Another stimulating conversation between our favourite pair.

 

Mason & Tahnee discuss:

- Empathy for your child's experience as a key pillar in conscious parenting.

- How to communicate with your kids without being condescending. 

- The books and tools Tahnee & Mason use to support their parenting intentions.

- Treating your child like an individual with unique needs, regardless of their age.

- Using rhythm and routine to create stability/safety in the family culture.

- How to use seasons and celebratory festivities to punctuate time throughout the year. 

- The work of Rudolf Steiner.

- The importance of encouraging play, wonder and magic in parenting. 

- Using Astrology, German New Medicine and Human Design to support your children.
