Today we're chatting with Ayelet Marinovich, who helps families feel confident they can raise great humans from day one - without having to buy a single toy. She is a mother of two young boys, a parent educator, singer, author, and pediatric speech-language pathologist gone rogue. She is the host of the Learn With Less Podcast, and creator of the Learn With Less™ Curriculum, supporting parents and caregivers along their journey through early parenthood.
Parenting in modern society can feel impossible at times. We're constantly bombarded with advice and research and studies and opinions about the "right way" to raise our kids in the modern age. The information is often conflicting or outdated or sets us up for trying to meet impossible standards. I've also personally found that most of the advice doesn't apply to my child or isn't in alignment with our family's core values. That's why I wanted to bring Ayelet onto the show. Her approach really helps parents re-focus on what's really important in parenting: connecting with our children in simple and natural ways. We don't need to spend thousands of dollars on toys or contraptions. We don't have to sign them up for every extra-curricular activity. We don't have to do academic drills with them. All they need is our love and acceptance. Ayelet shares with us how we can integrate that love and connection into our daily life in practical and simple ways.
