Episode 52 - Reshaping our Culture through Parenting with Robin Grille

In this episode I have the pleasure of speaking with one of my favourite authors, Robin Grille. Robin is a psychologist in private practice, international speaker, trainer and parenting educator. He is the author of three internationally acclaimed books: ‘Parenting for a Peaceful World’, ‘Heart to Heart Parenting’ and ‘Inner Child Journeys’. His books, seminars and courses focus on healthy emotional development for children as well as parents; while building supportive, co-operative parenting communities. His work is animated by his belief that humanity’s future is largely dependent on the way we collectively relate to our children. In this conversation, Robin shares how the way we raise our children is so influential in terms of how our culture is shaped. He describes the impact on children of intentionally delivered, culturally normalised trauma on the resting baseline of the stress response of our children, and how this impacts us all at a cultural level. He describes some of the key ingredients necessary for promoting our children’s wellbeing, particularly the healing power of receiving listening and connection. He offers so much compassion to parents and shares how to do our own inner child healing, at the invitation of our children, so we are better resourced to then be the parent we want to be, and can reclaim our right to enjoy parenting. Please note this episode is not specifically about Aware Parenting.
