Motherhood often comes with a deep desire to protect and hold everything together, but what happens when our children need us to step back?
In this first part of a special Rise and Shine episode, Adrienne Gold-Davis introduces the parenting practice of “watch, wait, wonder”. Together with Momentum Educators, Ruchi Koval and Jael Toledo explore radical acceptance, parenting anxiety, the instinct to save, solve, fix, and the difference between real safety concerns and fear-driven control.
