"I Do It" - Future Focused 0-5

In today's episode of Raising Adults, we kick off a three-week series applying our framework of "I Do It, We Do It, You Do It" to your parenting journey. We will break down the different stages of parenting and talk about what it means to be a Future Focused Parent in each stage.     "If you're fortunate enough to have small people, this is where you not only lay the foundation of how you're parenting with empathy and emotional intelligence while still having boundaries, but you're also laying the foundation for what you are like as a Future Focused Parent." - Deana Thayer   Today's discussion includes:  Introduction to "I Do It" (4:24) What this looks like with infants (6:59) What if you get it wrong? (9:19) The toddler years (12:28) In this phase, you're teaching your child what they can expect from you (14:20) The preschool years (19:44) Increasing responsibility and privileges (22:41) Redirection is not a distraction (23:58) Preview of "We Do It" (26:44) We'd love to hear from you!

If your parenting ever feels like a game of whack-a-mole, we’ve got you. If you are a Type-A planner who wants to parent proactively, we’re here for you. If you find yourself somewhere in between….that parent who longs to parent with intention, but often ends up reacting to situations as they arise, you are our people! Our distinct philosophy - Future Focused Parenting – takes center stage on the podcast. We open every episode with our own personal “why” to demonstrate bringing intention to specific parenting issues. Then we dive into the “what” and “how” of each topic, moving quickly into actionable tools and strategies our listeners can start using right away. As your co-hosts, we bring our professional experience to bear, but never fail to share our own struggles as parents. In addition, we have some unique differences in our personalities and beliefs. This dynamic creates a distinct feel, allowing our listeners to explore varying ways to approach parenting topics and ultimately decide what works for their family. We invite you to listen to the groundbreaking parenting podcast that starts with the end in mind. Stop raising kids; start Raising Adults!
