In this episode, I have a beautiful conversation with Chiara Rossetti. Chiara and I discovered Aware Parenting together and were listening partners and Aware Parenting buddies for many years so it was so lovely to talk to her. Chiara has a background in Arts and discovered Aware Parenting 16 years ago and is now an Aware Parenting Facilitator. She is also a Field Facilitator, which remains her number one passion, and is a qualified Facial Reflexologist. She lives in WA with her teenage children.

Chiara shares how finding Aware Parenting was so transformational for her family and how she has used this approach to support her children thought some major challenges in their lives. She shares her experiences of learning to listen to feelings and her huge passion for attachment play. We discuss the impact of raising our children this way on the teenagers they become as well as the challenges of holding space for our children, whilst also doing our own healing work surrounded by a culture that does not support or understand listening.

To learn more about Chiara, you can contact her by email at chiara_rossetti@hotmail.com or via the FaceBook Aware Parenting group.
