Parenting Children by Strengthening Their Natural Gifts with Julie Hatch

Most parents have followed one of these paths in parenting their children:

• Imposed their vision or ego on the child of what that child should do –whether it’s get good grades, study for a specific career, play sports or music, attend a preferred college, etc.
• Tried so hard to ease their child’s path that the child never learns to fend for him or herself, feels entitled, or becomes simply unmotivated
• Inflicts their own fears on the child so that the child either rebels or multiplies the fears
• Corrects or criticizes the child to fulfill their own needs for outer appearances and expectations and stimulates the child’s feeling of never being “enough.”

Today's special guest Julie Phillips Hatch says there is another way. And that is to release your own needs and expectations and guide your child to follow his or her own path based on the child’s inner spirt, intuition and natural inclination. In her half-manifesto-and-half-practical guidebook A Parenting Revolution for Higher Evolution: Raising Resilient, Responsible, Compassionate Kids from the Inside Out, Julie makes the case that children parented from this standout are far better capable of becoming happy, stable, fully self-realized and empathetic adults who contribute to a better and more highly evolved world—whatever path they may follow.

Julie knows kids. As a mother of three, a pediatric nurse practitioner, pediatric acupuncturist, a parenting coach, and host of the “Mums on a Mission” podcast, she has devoted her life to some aspect of healing and growing capable children. Seeing the impact of so many poor parenting choices, and the suffering, bullying or unfulfilled children who result from them, Julie felt she had to speak up.
