About this episode
Send us Fan MailWhat if helping your young adult move forward didn’t require more rules, more demands or difficult conversations? What if it was actually simpler than that? In this episode, I’m joined by Geoff Owen, founder of Biologically Aligned Parenting and author of The Parenting Assumption. Geoff challenges one of the biggest assumptions we make as parents: that it’s our job to manage and control our children’s behaviour.His perspective is both refreshing and surprisingly simple. He believes that when we stop trying to control our young adults, we create the conditions for connection to emerge naturally.If parenting has become exhausting in your home, this conversation may completely change the way you think about helping your young adult move forward.Maybe the answer isn’t doing more, but doing less. Geoff’s message is simple: parenting doesn’t have to feel like a constant struggle.Listen in and decide for yourself.Contact Geoff Owen: https://geoffreyowen.com/Thank you for listening!
