152: Respecting Authority: Parenting Kids to Navigate Coaches, Teachers, and Bosses May 17, 2018

Show notes

The topic of authority and kids is a fascinating one for me. On one hand, we would love for our kids to respect us, but we don't really want them to be part of a mindless herd following an authority figure. This week is about how to navigate this tricky subject and teach our kids to wisely and critical follow those worth influencing them. These are the three main lessons that will help decipher whether to stay and be mentored or find a new path. 1. Appear to conform. Do what you are told even if you think/ know better ways of doing something. 2. Does it FIT? Teach them to (internally) question if what they're being told to do fits within their moral core. If not, they can respectfully leave the organization/group. 3. Be curious and observant. Watch and learn objectively. If you have an authority figure worth following you will learn and grow. Or you may find that their results are poor and their morals are low.

https://howtoraiseamaverick.com/donate Anyone else have a kiddo that is a scrapper? I do. Not that she gets into fistfights, but she loves to get me all riled up. When she sees that I'm angry she gets a little sh** eating grin. Some kids are a struggle because they want attention, some it's a power struggle, others are trying to get back at you and finally there are those that feel they are inadequate. The way we deal with each one is VERY different. In this week's episode we are talking about how to handle each of those personalities. If you are struggling to motivate your kids, then listen in for sure! There are some truth bombs that will be sure to help you get those kids butts moving :)

148: Nature Knows Best: Teaching Ethics, Empathy and Grit Through Nature Apr 19, 2018

Show notes

The #1 Things Parents Need to Do in Order To Raise Grounded Kids... The more parenting advice we read and listen to the more confusing it can be. After years of raising kids and studying the research about each generation, I have come to a conclusion. If you want your kids to have a work ethic, grit empathy, and curiosity... SEND THEM OUTSIDE! It really is that easy. You don't have to come up with crafts from Pinterest, buy any new toys or supplies. Open the door and let them run free. Trust me they will find all the tools and toys they need. And no you don't need to have a playdate to make this happen. Some of the best experiences in nature are done in solitude.

146: Blac Chyna, Preschool Sex-Ed and Coat Nazis Apr 05, 2018

Show notes

Celebrities are Not Our Pets. What would you do if someone grabbed your baby's arm? In the news today Blac Chyna got into a fight over someone grabbing her baby, as a result, she lost sponsorship because of the altercation. In my opinion, no mother should ever be condemned for protecting their babies! And this is a great chance to have a discussion with the kids that just because we see these entertainers on the screen/web they are not our pets. Their personal life and kids should never be negatively affected. They are just human!!!! In this episode, we also talk about sex-ed being taught at age 5 in the U.K. I'll list the books I recommend to start conversations about body safety and sex at an early age. Should babies be left in -5 weather to nap? In Stockholm they do. And last but not least I share my experience of "accidentally" teaching women at a detention center how to take criticism through art.
