Aware Parenting Podcasts with Joss

In these Podcasts about Aware Parenting, I cover a variety of topics. The Aware Parenting Stories podcast explores the world of parenting through conversations with people who are passionate about parenting and supporting others to parent in this beautiful way.

The Aware Parenting and Natural Learning Podcast with Marion Rose explores Aware Parenting and Natural Learning. Together we cover many different aspects of these wonderful approaches and provide information and inspiration to support other families who are called to practise these together too.

Aware Parenting Stories

About the podcast
Each week I interview inspiring parents to discuss the joys and challenges of parenting that we all face in our families.

I talk to parenting experts and Aware Parenting Instructors to explore many aspects of raising children. People share their stories about parenting in this way, what they have loved and what they have found challenging and how parenting has supported them to heal their own childhood pain. The aim is to inspire us all on our parenting adventures, to build more connection and community and to support us all to offer more compassion to ourselves and our children.

"Help I am Getting Triggered!"

In this episode I respond to a listener’s question about what we can do when we are triggered by our children’s behaviour. I talk about how normal it is for us all to have many moments when we are activiated in response to our children. I share about some of the main ways in which we were wounded and hurt as children and how this can affect us as adults, underlying some of our reactions to our children. I share some of the ways we might be triggered by our children.
