S11E6 - Embodied Parenting: Part 2

School of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna Ward

Catch Part 1 of this 2-part series here.

Raising kids the embodied way is an experiment I’m in the midst of.

I have a 5 year and 8 month old who are both stubborn, intelligent, creative, brilliant kids. I’m constantly exploring how I can employ emotionally intelligent values in the way I parent.

To be clear, this isn’t my speciality, or body of work. I’m a somatic educator & coach, but parenting isn’t my zone of mastery. Today’s podcast came about from a listener's request and it’s something I’m so happy to shed some light on.

Today I’m sharing 10 strategies I use with my kids.

Specific little techniques, tricks, approaches or resources I do.

This is moreso with my 5 year old, but the principles and some of the practices still apply for my baby. If you have old kids, most of these will still be relevant.
