    Using TV, Movies, and Books to Spark Conversations about Coping Skills Mar 30, 2023
    Show notes

    Starting a conversation with a child about their own struggles and coping skills can be difficult. The best way around that in my opinion is to show through examples in books and TV. We all know how hard direct feedback and critique can be, yet if it is explained in a lighter way using someone else as an example, it can be much easier to digest and a perfect way to teach children.

    The topics I cover in this episode are;

    I give multiple examples of books you can use for really little children

    Using characters in tv shows to work out what they can do when they have big emotions

    What works for older children?

    I will explain my new resource library called ‘The Coping Skills Hub’.

    Make sure you check out my new resource library here -copingskillsforkids.com/hub

    Peaceful Discipline: An Interview with Sarah Moore Mar 16, 2023
    Show notes

    After an unbelievable routine check at the pediatrician’s office, Sarah’s life changed forever. The experience she talks about in this episode made her get serious about parenting and educating other parents about peaceful discipline. Yes, it is helpful to look at evidence based research on parenting but ultimately, you need to find out what works for you specifically. Listen to this episode to find out how…

    The topics we cover in this episode are;

    Sarah’s life-changing pediatrician story

    Sarah’s book ‘Peaceful Discipline: Story Teaching, Brain Science, and Better Behavior.’

    Evidence based research vs what works for you

    Fear based practices and how it affects a child’s brain

    Talk to kids when they’re little and have little problems… but why is that helpful?

    How games can challenge in a playful way

    Using stories to teach

    How Sarah relaxes

    About The Guest - Sarah Moore

    A decade ago, an uninformed doctor advised Sarah R. Moore to "never pick up her baby when she cried" and to let him know when she was ready to "get serious about parenting." Sarah's gotten serious about parenting, alright, as evidenced by her new book, "Peaceful Discipline: Story Teaching, Brain Science, and Better Behavior." Now a certified Master Trainer of conscious parenting, she's as serious about parenting as it gets. In addition to being a parent, Sarah has coached hundreds of families around the world, using her training in child development, trauma recovery, interpersonal neurobiology, executive negotiation, classroom experience, and improv comedy. Her book is endorsed by the amazing Drs. Tina Payne Bryson (Whole-Brain Child and No-Drama Discipline), Mona Delahooke (Beyond Behaviors and Brain-Body Parenting), Michele Borba (Thrivers), Jessica Joelle Alexander (Danish Way of Parenting), Elizabeth Pantley (No-Cry Sleep Solution), Raffi (children’s troubadour and founder of The Raffi Foundation for Child Honouring), Andrew Newman (Conscious Stories), and others.

    The Self-Driven Child: An Interview with Ned Johnson Mar 02, 2023
    Show notes

    In this episode, Ned and I discuss the “parent as consultant” way of approaching raising children. It’s important to not solve all your kids' problems, they need to build those skills themselves to face issues in a constructive and thoughtful way.

    We also discuss stress and how we all need to learn how to deal with it. As a parent, guardian or teacher, we all need to model self-care to manage our stress levels so our children can watch, learn and mimic that behavior.

    The topics we cover in this episode are:

    Why it’s important for kids to feel a sense of control

    Being the parent and a consultant

    How important play is

    Why you should let young people solve their own problems

    How to be that non-anxious presence in a Child's life

    Remaining calm in stressful situations

    Understanding that your kids want their lives to be great too

    About The Guest - Ned Johnson

    Ned Johnson is an author, speaker, and founder of PrepMatters, an educational company providing academic tutoring, educational planning, and standardized test preparation. A professional “tutor-geek” since 1993 and battle-tested veteran of test prep, stress regulation and student performance, Ned has spent nearly 50,000 one-on-one hours helping students conquer an alphabet of standardized tests, learn to manage their anxiety, and develop their own motivation to succeed. With Dr. William Stixrud, Ned co-authored The Self-Driven Child: The Science and Sense of Giving Your Kids More Control Over Their Lives and What Do You Say? How To Talk With Kids To Build Motivation, Stress Tolerance, and a Happy Home. Ned is the host of the PrepTalks podcast: conversations with parenting and education experts. A sought-after speaker and teen coach on study skills, sleep deprivation, parent-teen dynamics, and test anxiety, and his work is featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, NPR, BBC, and many others.

    A Delicious Way to Practice Mindfulness Feb 16, 2023
    Show notes

    Did you know that mindfulness practice can shrink the amygdala which is the part of the brain that is responsible for fight, flight or freeze? While I know the benefits of mindfulness, I sometimes struggle to actually practice it. But several years ago, I was able to finally start on my mindfulness journey - by using food!

    This can be done with any type of food but I particularly love using berries or chocolate. Take a listen to learn how to use this technique…

    The topics I cover in this episode are:

    How mindfulness with food can help

    I run through an exercise with you from ‘The Coping Skills for Kids Workbook’ on mindful eating

    How I used this strategy during lockdown to help my clients

    Please keep in mind that clients may have food allergies or sensitivities so I encourage you to check with families before you do this activity.


    And remember, do not forget about yourself, take a few minutes for you and have a little fun!

    Updated Neurodiversity-Affirming Whole Body Listening Larry: An Interview with Elizabeth Sautter Feb 02, 2023
    Show notes

    In this episode I am joined by Speech Language Pathologist Elizabeth A. Sautter to talk about ‘Whole body Listening Larry’. For our communities to evolve and grow, we have to constantly look at ourselves, the way we speak and how and what we teach children in schools about diversity. Not every brain is created biologically the same, so why do we think we could learn, listen, work or play the same way? I hope this episode opens your mind up to the positivity and brilliance that comes from people with neurodiverse brains.


    The topics we cover in this episode are;

    What is ‘Whole body Listening Larry’?

    How has ‘Whole body Listening Larry’ changed over the years?

    What is on the new poster?

    How Elizabeth was trained to be a Speech Language Pathologist

    What masking can look like

    How can a teacher deal with so many children with so many different needs?

    What is neurodiversity?

    What is neurodivergent?

    Thoughts on the name ‘ADHD’?

    Elizabeth's coping skills

    And remember, do not forget about yourself, take a few minutes for you and have a little fun!

    Coping Skills for Adults: Movement Strategies Jan 19, 2023
    Show notes

    This episode is the next installment of ‘Coping skills for adults’ and I want to focus on the movement style. Movement and exercise is a strange one. Before doing it, you really don’t want to, it takes a lot of momentum but once you’ve completed a workout don’t you just feel amazing with all those feel-good hormones running through your body? This isn’t just a feeling, it’s been scientifically proven! Movement helps your physical functioning, studies also show it improves your cognitive function but most interestingly exercise improves your mental health.

    The topics I cover in this episode are:

    How can exercise help?

    What types of exercise are best?

    Working out what works for you with exercise

    Different exercises to try out; boxing, swimming, hula hooping, golfing etc

    Keeping exercise sustainable

    The ways I enjoy exercise


    And remember, do not forget about yourself, take a few minutes for you and have a little fun!

    Collaborative and Proactive Solutions: An Interview with Kim Hopkins Jan 05, 2023
    Show notes

    We can learn a lot from history and luckily as humans we can learn to progress and right our wrongs, to be more ethical or helpful. In regards to caring for children, in the past we used restraint techniques when a child was displaying negative behavior and some were even paddled! In fact I was stunned to learn that, as of 2022 paddling is legal and being practiced in 15 U.S states. You don’t need hard scientific evidence to know this isn’t right. My guest Kim Hopkins joins me to talk about safer, kinder techniques we can use with our children to help them learn effectively.

    The topics we cover in this episode are:

    Old school restraint techniques and how we feel about them now

    Why do some kids have such concerning behaviors?

    What happens when kids lack skills

    What is an upstream model?

    How being a parent can change you as a therapist

    Why rewards and consequences don’t work for some kids

    The great side of teenagers

    Modeling and how you can use your power differently as the parent / adult

    What length of time does the modeling technique take?

    Resources you can discover from Lives in the Balance

    How Kim rests and recharges

    And remember, do not forget about yourself, take a few minutes for you and have a little fun!
