Aki's Approach: Guiding Parents to Embrace Imperfection and Authenticity

I think the question becomes: do we want our kids to turn out fine or do we want them to thrive?
Parenting can often feel like navigating a maze without a map. Aki, a mother and life coach, knows this all too well. In this episode of 'Birds in a Tree', she opens up about her journey into parent coaching, sparked by the challenges she faced raising her twelve-year-old daughter. Aki's mission? To help parents find confidence and connection within their families, even when they don't have all the answers.
She believes that showing children our human side, complete with mistakes, is crucial for healthy family dynamics. Through her practice, Parenting Paths, Aki encourages parents to discover their unique family culture, balance empathy with setting boundaries, and prioritize self-care. She also sheds light on the pitfalls of overpraising and the importance of positive discipline. If you're a parent looking for practical advice wrapped in empathy and authenticity, this episode is a must-listen.
