Fresh Take: Ed Center of Village Well Parenting

How does the wisdom of our cultural traditions inform the way we parent, for better and worse? Ed Center, founder of Village Well Parenting, explains how generational trauma informs parenting and how we can navigate it.

How does our cultural upbringing influence the way we parent? Ed Center, founder of Village Well Parenting, discusses how culturally grounded positive parenting can bring connection, joy, and healing to both kid-raisers and educators.

Ed has spent his career supporting low-income, underrepresented youth and adults by helping them gain access to the resources necessary to thrive. He started The Village Well to bring more connection, joy, and healing to families of color.

In this interview, Amy and Ed discuss:

-The lack of attention to diverse cultures and traditions in traditional parenting courses and literature

-How generational wisdom can sometimes come from the same source as generational trauma

-How to stay calm when your children are not
