Hey Tim. That is a very good question. My definition of peaceful parenting is being fully present for one's kids should they need you. At the same time allowing them freedom to play, create, and pursue their passions is vital to raising a healthy child. I see my role less as an authority figure that they must respect and obey by default and more as an advisor, friend, or confidante that they can come to for guidance and support. I try to give my kids as much freedom as the situation allows. I trust my kids' judgement for the most part. No parent wants to see their kids get hurt but trial and error is one of the best ways for kids to learn valuable lessons.
