About Alternative Parenting

The Parenting Wisdom Podcast is a place where we explore parenting from a truly holistic perspective. I believe that a wise parent is one who asks questions, keeps an open mind, and also trusts their deep inner knowing. Here, we integrate insights from psychology, sociology, holistic medicine, child development science, philosophy, and ancient wisdom. Because there is no single “right” way to parent — each of us is unique, and every child is a unique soul. The guiding principle of The Parenting Wisdom Podcast is that parents are their children’s leaders. And as leaders, we must be both humble and courageous as we raise children who will grow into independent, resilient, and fulfilled human beings — ready to share their unique gifts and live lives of meaning and purpose. We believe that our children are strong and capable, and that challenges are part of their growth. Our role is to let them face those challenges while remaining their safe haven — the steady presence they can always count on, no matter what.

How to Raise a Kid Who WANTS to Be Good

Published 16 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] It pulls me inward, away from the people around me, and slowly trains me to do things only for myself. The second type of feeling good is fulfillment, the true pleasure that comes from doing good. It's subtler and softer than the first kind, and it stays with you for a longer time. Doing good and feeling fulfillment almost always go together. Cleaning your room, doing your chores, helping a friend, visiting a sick relative, or working hard towards a bigger goal. Each one of these takes us out of ourselves and connects us to someone or something beyond us. And that's exactly why it feels so good. […]
