Building your family system

Season 3: Ep 13

Today is the last episode in our series on how other cultures raise children.Throughout the world parents use a whole network of people to help raise their child. In this episode Lauren discusses how you can create that network. This not only gives you a break from your kids but exposes your kids to people of all ages.  

Ideas discussed include: 

  1. Allo parenting - allow older kids to help parent the younger

  2. Create a network of older people in your community to act as Aunties and Uncles and help take shifts with childcare. 

  3. Build a multi-age playgroup so you don’t have to constantly monitor kids while playing

  4. Value your families and their input. 

  5. TEAM: togetherness, encourage, autonomy, minimize interference

Lauren answers this week’s listener question during the episode: What do I do about disrespect and teens, especially ones that hang up on me?

Try-at-home tip:  Consider less stimulating toys
