Episode 20: Self-Compassion & Meeting Everyone's Needs with Vivian Viester
In this week’s episode I had the pleasure of chatting with Vivian Viester, an Aware Parenting Instructor from Europe and a Mum to an 11 year old boy. Vivian shares her parenting journey, and how she discovered Aware Parenting.
We then discuss:
- Self-compassion
- Attending to our own needs and parts of ourselves that need to be heard
- Our journey together as parent and child
- How our children help us heal from our own childhoods
- Attachment play
- Open and honest communication with your child
- Meeting everyone’s needs
- What we both found most challenging about Aware Parenting
- So much more
