How carrying creates independent children
Manage episode 349745594 series 3426387
Have you been warned against making a rod for your own back by carrying your child?
Has someone told you that slings and carriers are just a new trend or something used only by a certain 'type' of parent?
What about the idea that they won't ever learn to walk if they are always carried?
Zoe Woodman from The Sling Consultancy joins me for this week's episode to dispel these ideas and share her knowledge and expertise all about carrying, child psychology and infant neural development.
We discuss how to foster authentic independence and resilience, as well as make our lives as parents more convenient!
Many of us are living in a culture that celebrates separation over connectedness. And certainly, separation-based parenting strategies like sleep training do "work" - but at what cost?
