Hunt, Gather, Parent

Most parents can agree that some days parenting small children can feel like all-out war. You have to prepare yourself at the start of each day for screaming, tantrums, toys everywhere, and food exploding in the kitchen after every meal time. Somedays it feels like no matter how many parenting books you read, or how much you love your kids, patience wears thin and you end up losing it. So, what can you do if all your good parenting tactics seem to be failing you when it matters most? Michaeleen Doucleff was a desperate parent looking for answers, who took off to travel to some of the world’s oldest civilizations in search of better parenting tactics. She’s here with us today to teach us what these cultures can teach us about being good parents.
