Paradoxes

Paradoxes

 

Tap into the wisdom of Socrates, the Tao, Rumi and Erykah among others, as we help parents understand how to accept and apply the paradoxes presented by these wise people to parenting teens!  If we know that we know nothing about anything, then what could we possibly teach our children?

Ah, the wisdom of the ages is here to help and we are here to help you understand how to embrace it, and embrace your kids who are squirming away.  Want to understand how knowing this not-knowing can help parents hear their adolescent children?  In this episode you will be guided in how to identify and acknowledge the paradoxes, and then how to not just live with them, but love them. Listen to this episode and learn how to use the paradoxes, the seeming contradictions presented in life going back many thousands of years,  to start building healthy balanced relationships with your children in today’s world.

 

The Practice: Consider the other possible truths. Our truth may not be the same as our children’s truth in any situation. Consider this and ask them theirs. Then, you know, pause and pause. It may not make sense to you. That is ok.  It’s their truth - for today.
