What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hey there, it's Debbie and welcome to Playback Friday. I'm going back into the archives and re-releasing some of my favorite conversations from years ago every Friday. Unless you're a longtime listener of the show, there's a good chance you haven't heard this one yet. And even if you are, you just may get something completely different from listening to it this time around. Here you go and enjoy the show.
There's a sense of powerlessness that happens for us as parents. It happens for the kids. And sometimes when the grandparents see us struggling with that, they have a sense of powerlessness and that's when they tend to go into this superhero mode where they're giving us all these tips, telling us everything they read, telling us what they should do in this kind of top down way. And oftentimes the attention is to solve a problem for us when it really just creates more problems.
Welcome to Tilt Parenting, a podcast featuring interviews and conversations aimed at inspiring, informing, and supporting parents raising differently wired kids. I'm your host, Debbie Reaver, and today I'm sharing with you a super interesting conversation that quite honestly blew my mind when we recorded the episode. Because today we're talking about parenting from a whole new point of view. Specifically, we're looking at the relationship we have with our own parents and parents-in-law while also trying to navigate our own journey as parents. And to help us dive into all of this is Kanisha Baynard, a brilliant coach who, among other things, helps families navigate the challenges of intergenerational families.
While this can mean families where people from multiple generations are living under the same roof, as was the case for Kanesha years ago, for the purposes of our conversation Today, we're really exploring all the challenges, aspects, nuances, and realities that come into play when we're busy raising our differently wired kids while also being adult children of our own parents. If you've ever had a communications fail or conflict or disagreement with your own parents over some aspect of raising your own child, I guarantee you're going to get so much out of it. out of this episode, because Kenisha has an incredible perspective and practical strategies for how we can create the dynamic we want in relation with our own parents and most importantly, one that best serves our kids.
So here is my conversation with Kenisha. Hey everyone, Debbie Reber here with the Tilt Parenting Podcast. And today I am super excited to be welcoming to the show a friend of mine, a bold living mama, certified life coach, educator, facilitator, blogger.
What are the common challenges in multigenerational parenting dynamics?
I'm getting tired saying all these things, crafter and many other things, Kinesha Baynard. Welcome to the show.
Thank you, Debbie. I'm so excited to be here.
Well, we've known each other for a bunch of years now and I also know that there are so many different things we could talk about today, including how to live a bold life. But I happen to know that one of your areas of expertise is centered around multi-generational and in-law dynamics. And I thought that could be a really interesting topic for us to tackle today because well, because our relationships as parents with our own parents, as well as the parents of our partner, can be tricky no matter what the situation. But I think with differently wired kids, there can be that added strain or maybe just an extra element for consideration that can really impact all facets of these kinds of relationships.
Absolutely Debbie. A lot of us sometimes forget that, you know, when we have families, we have our specific immediate family, but the extended family can be a s really super impactful tool if we leverage those relationships properly. So yeah, everything you just said.
I like the way you said a tool to leverage. Uh that's such a nice way to even frame this conversation. So but before we get into talking about that specifically, would you mind just taking a few minutes and tell us about yourself and your own family dynamic, like how many kids you have, how old they are, what your family makeup looks like, and maybe as part of that, how you came to have this special focus of multi-generational dynamics in your work.
