The Aware Parenting Podcast

Episode 237: An end and a beginning by Marion Rose, PhD.

I'm so delighted that Maru Rojas, an Aware Parenting instructor in London, originally from Mexico, is back on the podcast again.
Maru was on episodes 129 and 184.
Maru and I discuss the nuances of helping children cooperate and understand the world around them.
Maru shares examples of how providing information to babies and children can make everyday tasks like hair brushing, nail cutting, and applying sunscreen easier.
We emphasise the importance of meeting children’s needs for agency, autonomy, and choice, while also addressing accumulated feelings that might cause them to be unwilling to cooperate.
We explore how attachment play can be a magical tool to foster cooperation as well as the deeper connection it creates between parents and children.
Maru is also a teacher of Elimination Communication and offers courses and 1:1 consultations in both Aware Parenting and EC.

In this episode, I dive into the concept of embodying loving limits: a term I coined to describe the process which is integral to the Aware Parenting approach created by Aletha Solter, PhD.

I share my experiences and challenges that I faced in practicing loving limits, both with my daughter and son. I also emphasise how the practice of loving limits contrasts with typical authoritarian or permissive parenting models.

I highlight the nuanced understanding and deep inner work required to truly embody this practice, sharing insights from my own journey.

Throughout, I highlight the profound influence loving limits can have for children, their parents, and the relationship between the two of them.
