What parenting approach does Lael Stone advocate for?
I don't think we talk enough about the quiet kind of kindness. The kind that happens behind closed doors with no recognition. It's the parent who keeps showing up, the friend who sits with you in the hard moments, or the neighbour who just gets it. That's the kind of kindness that shapes us as humans, and it deserves to be seen. And that's why I've partnered with Humankind for Australia's Kindest Person. I'm lucky enough to be connected to the kindness close to home category, which is really all about the people in your everyday world, the ones who make life feel a little safer, a little softer, a little more connected. And this isn't about big gestures or perfect people. It's about real humans choosing kindness again and again.
So if someone comes to mind right now, that's your person, and I invite you to take a minute and nominate them. There's a $50,000 award split between Australia's Kindest Person and their favourite charity. But more than that, it's a chance to honour the kind of people who often go unseen. you can head to australiaskindestperson.com.au to nominate now. And let's join humankind in recognising and rewarding kindness. Ah, the human experience, with our flaws, our passions, our triggers, our inspirations and our imprints. If we could see behind everyone's story, then perhaps what we would have is deep compassion. In this podcast, I get the chance to explore these stories from some truly fascinating people in some honest and heartwarming conversations.
And best of all, I get to share these discussions with you. I'm Lael Stone, and this is Humans Being. Welcome to Humans Being, I'm Lael Stone. It's a pleasure to have you with me today. So usually I start each episode with my humanness, what's been going on for me. But this episode is actually going to be all about my humanness because today I am joined by two of my beautiful, extraordinary children who are here to have a conversation with me. And I feel like this may be beautifully exposing of me and my humanness as we're going to talk about parenting, being raised in the way that we have, and also just how they view the world. There's a good reason why I wanted to do this podcast because for anybody who's a parent these days, more than likely you would have been raised in this behaviorism paradigm.
That was where we were brought up in environments where we were told we must be good all the time. We were punished when You know, we did something wrong. Often our parents, you know, as well meaning as they were, used punishments and rewards to get us to do what we wanted. And most adults that I work with these days were raised in that environment. And then we get to this point and they have their own children. And I think because we know a lot more now, we have a lot more information about, you know, emotional awareness, trauma, you know, attachment, connection, all those kind of things, people do want to do it differently. And for me and my husband, Mike, we were very, very fortunate to have three children and have been really conscious in wanting to raise them in a different way, where we would make it safe for their feelings, where we encourage them to take risks, make mistakes.
We didn't use punishments and rewards. You know, we wanted to connect and attach in the best ways possible. And we now have three adult children and are at that other end of parenting. But one of the biggest questions that I get asked all the time is, does this work? A lot of the parents I work with have smaller children. And when they're not punishing their kids or when they're using some of these other ways to create cooperation and connection, there's often a doubt that comes up of, is this going to work? And are my kids then going to be successful humans in the world? Or Are they going to be able to achieve or what's that going to be like? Because we haven't seen that evidence. Over the last few years, I've done lots and lots of different parenting courses and sometimes my kids have jumped in on the calls or we've had a bit of Q&A with some of the people on my courses.
