Thanks so much for coming by to check out Episode 58 of The New Family Podcast where we explore positive parenting with author Rebecca Eanes.
My guest on this episode is best-selling author Rebecca Eanes, the founder of positive-parents.org, creator of the very popular Facebook community Positive Parenting: Toddlers and Beyond. Her book The Newbie’s Guide to Positive Parenting has been a #1 bestseller in its category on Amazon and her latest book, coming out June 7th, is called Positive Parenting: An Essential Guide. But Rebecca is quick to say that she’s a messenger not an expert. She writes from a parent-to-parent perspective and shares her own shift from more conventional parenting to positive parenting, which as she explains, honours our basic human needs for love and for belonging, and respects the mind, the body and the spirit of children. It seeks to build healthy positive relationships between parent and child, which becomes the model for healthy relationships life long, and gives parents influence that’s strengthened through a strong connection with our kids. Rebecca’s here to explain how we can work these principles into our own family lives.
Here are some great resources related to my discussion with Derek.

Rebecca’s Favourite Parenting Advice
“I think the best piece of parenting advice that I’ve ever received was to look beyond the behaviour at what’s really causing it. Because when I was able to stop looking just at the behaviour to decide whether I was going to praise or condemn it, I could see finally the little boy behind it who needed help. I could emphasize then with his upsets. I could understand his experiences, and guide him in the right direction. And the result of that has been a reconnection with the ones that I love most, and just a happier, more joyful home overall.”
