Parenting Today
Parenting Today
Sofia Linha
This podcast is for you, a parent, a friend, an educator, a passer-by. Parenting is hard. And today, it seems that everything is extremely polarized. Doing your best isn't enough, and there is always someone telling you the "shoulds" and "shouldn'ts" of parenting. My goal is to show that parenting is not a one size fits all. Parenting is - and always will be - the most personal and context-related experience. Even the parent you are today won't be the same as the parent you will be tomorrow. So why should parenting be such a strict rule-based path? I will be here every week on Wednesdays.
Ep. 8 - There’s no such thing as perfect parenting
On this episode I talk about something that every parenting content should state: there't no such thing as perfect parenting. There are no rules or recipes.

Thank you!

Ep. 2 - The Christmas Lights Tantrum Experience
On this episode, I get a bit emotional as I share a failed attempt to have a surprise, fun, experience with my 2 1/2 year old.  I was caught in a not-so-enjoyable situation with her and it took all my conscious effort to power through it. I'm sharing this because it's something that I know is important to hear, especially during hard days.  We can all do better. We can all choose to be better as a person, a parent, a friend, anything. And when it comes to our kids, this is an absolute necessity. My train of thought, the one that I shared on this episode, is often not the one we tend to follow. But it is something we can work on. It's really like a muscle. If you consciouslly think about it often, it will become your greatest ally on your hard days. You can find me on Instagram @parentingtodaypodcast. Come say hi!
