This week we talk to Julika von Stackelberg , a parenting educator based in New York working with the Cornell Co-operative Extension about how she discovered the peaceful parenting approach that she now promotes, what it entails, how it has challenged her and the parents she works with and why she thinks that changing our approach to parenting could, in the long run, change the world.
