Aware Parenting with Joss
Aware Parenting is an approach to raising our children founded by Aletha Solter Ph.D. It prioritises strong, connected relationships in our families and gives parents the tools, based on strong scientific research, to support our children to be cooperative, connected to their authentic selves, loving and non-violent.
There are 3 main principles of Aware Parenting:
Attachment style parenting
Focusing on physical closeness and bonding, prompt and
sensitive responding to our children and prolonged breast-feeding.

Non-punitive discipline
Not using punishments or rewards but instead looking for underlying needs and feelings, as well as peaceful conflict resolution in the family.
