The Kids Are All Right With Gabrielle and Ben Blair

  • Summary

  • Parenting is a long game. After parenting six kids for the past twenty-eight years Gabrielle and Ben Blair know that better than anyone. I love advice from other parents, especially ones that I respect as much as Gabrielle (@DesignMom) and Ben. Today we’re getting into all the advice from their new book The Kids Are All Right including the importance of emotional authenticity, building a family culture, the benefits of low-stakes activities and embracing the crappiest of moments. Living in the world is stressful enough. As parents we don’t need to impose even more stress on our lives. Here are some more highlights: Building a family culture is an ongoing process that shapes the future of our relationships. Emotional authenticity is crucial; kids should feel free to express their feelings. Parenting is about shared experiences that create lasting bonds. The long view of parenting helps maintain relationships beyond childhood. It's important to embrace challenges as part of family life. Parents should focus on creating a safe and loving home environment. Kids need to learn that it's okay to not be happy all the time. Low-stakes activities help children learn without pressure. Sports should be enjoyable, not a source of stress. Parents should focus on building relationships with their children. Manufactured stress can harm family dynamics. Engaged parents are a sign that kids will be fine. It's okay for kids to experience a range of emotions. Grab The Kids Are All Right here. Learn more about your ad choices.
