Overcoming Parental Peer Pressure

Welcome back to the Plan P Podcast! In our second episode, "Overcoming Parental Peer Pressure," parenting coaches Sarah Pollak & Quinn Faison tackle a topic often overlooked—the pressure parents face to make the right decisions on their journey of raising their children. Just like teenagers, parents can feel the weight of peers' expectations and judgments, making it challenging to trust their instincts. Sarah and Quinn candidly share their own struggles with seeking approval for their parenting choices, revealing how it affected their confidence and decision-making. Join us to explore effective strategies to break free from this cycle, gain self-assurance, and embrace your unique parenting path. Let's overcome parental peer pressure together!

 

Sarah and Quinn have the full approval and support of their children, Allie and Harrison, to do this work and offer this podcast to parents everywhere.

 

This Week’s Practice: The Pressure Pause

In the chaos of managing work, family, and daily life, it's vital to recognize moments when you're under pressure. Embrace the "Pressure Pause" practice to navigate these moments more mindfully. When you sense stress building, take a moment to acknowledge your emotions and resist the urge to hastily seek solutions. Reflect on your typical response to pressure and consider seeking support from trusted individuals. This practice encourages you to respond with composure and patience, teaching your children the value of managing life's challenges with grace rather than constantly striving for immediate answers. It's a lesson in both self-care and resilience.
