  • Peaceful Parenting with Luke Adsit

    Peaceful Parenting with Luke Adsit
    Apr 27 2025

    In this episode, James L sits down with peaceful parenting coach Luke Adsit, joining us all the way from Florida. Luke shares his journey from traditional discipline to conscious, connection-focused parenting—drawing from years of research, personal growth, and one-on-one coaching.

    We dive deep into:

    • Natural consequences vs. punishment and rewards

    • Understanding children's motivations and emotional needs

    • Why projecting our dreams onto kids can backfire

    • The cultural shift away from communal parenting

    • Building trust, consistency, and better communication with your child

    • And the courage it takes to challenge generational norms

    Luke also reflects on his own experiences as a father, and the emotional work involved in parenting differently than how he was raised.

    Whether you're a parent, caregiver, or just curious about how to better support kids in your life, this episode is packed with wisdom and practical strategies.
