    Joyful Courage for Parenting Teens

    Welcome to the Joyful Courage Podcast – a place where parents of tweens and teens come to find inspiration, information and encouragement in the messy terrain of adolescence

    This season of parenting is no joke – and while the details of what we are all moving through might be slightly different, we are having a collective experience.

    This is a space where we center building relationship, nurturing life skills, and leaning into our own personal growth.

    My name is Casey O’Roarty, I am a parent coach, Positive Discipline LEad Trainer, and captain of the adolescent ship over at Sproutable. I am also a speaker and published author. I have been working with parents and families for over 20 years and continue to navigate being a mom with my own two young adult kids.

    I am honored that you are here… Please give back to the pod by sharing it with friends, or on social media, and rate and review on Apple or Spotify – work of mouth is how we grow!

    Thanks – enjoy the show!

    Eps 95: Jeanne-Marie Paynel talks Montessori and Positive Discipline Jun 06, 2017
    Show notes

    The first thing that stuck out about our next guest, Jeanne-Marie Paynel is her passion for lifelong learning. In addition to raising two beautiful children, Jeanne-Marie holds a Masters in Education, is the founder and CEO of Voila Montessori and is a Positive Discipline trainer. After reading Dr. Montessori’s work “The Secret of Childhood” she discovered a passion for guiding children and families in healthy parenting approaches. She wanted parents to appreciate the true importance of their role – not as servants or teachers, but as supporters and guides of their children’s natural development. This need in the global community prompted her to launch Voila Montessori, an accessible resources to guide parents in the Montesorri tradition and the Positive Discipline approach.

    What you’ll hear in this episode:

    • It’s important to empower our children not enable them
    • Setting up a prepared environment for your children’s learning
    • The Montessori philosophy and how it helps children and families today
    • Ways Positive Discipline and the Montessori method merge to provide support
    • The benefits of a child’s freedom of movement and choice in their own environment
    • Tools to help families nurture their child’s potential
    • How to access Montessori methods and find an appropriate educational environment for your child.

    What does Joyful Courage mean to you?

    Joyful Courage – to me for one what comes to mind is being aware of how lucky we are – the practice of gratitude is what brings me great joy. In the context of Montessori, being in awe of what your children are going through, their evolution, their adaptation to the world. Courage is speaking up for what is, and accepting at times that we might be wrong. That we might of not interacted with our child the way that would’ve felt better and to be okay with going to your child and saying “I didn’t like the way I did that” “I’m going to better next time”- It’s courageous for adults to say to a child that “I did something wrong”. Being aware that we are not perfect and we are learning next to them.

    Quotes:

    “We are not our children’s servants. We are here to empower them to do things for themselves”.

    “My child was going to be my guide in my parenting journey”. (a realization)

    “A child is an adult in the making”.

    Joyful courage means being willing to step out of complacency, out of the box, and follow that inner voice that you have saying “Yes!” even when you are in doubt or fear say “Yes!” anyways and I strive to do this in everything I do is bring joy to it. Go to the grocery store and find some joy. I have a friend who buys flowers every Tuesday during her grocery shopping and her goal is to give those flowers away by the time she gets back to her house….Stepping out of our boxes and our little narrow lanes and our busy-ness or overwhelm in our own life but just stepping out a little bit to see there’s this world out there and what can I do to bring joy into the world – and we need it.

    Eps 90: Larissa Dann is on Talking About How to Let Go of Consequences and Rewards May 02, 2017
    Show notes

    Today’s guest is Larissa Dann, a Parent Effectiveness Training (P.E.T.) trainer. We are discussing parenting without rewards and punishments. Join us!

    “Children don’t misbehave, they behave to meet a need.”


    What you’ll hear in this episode:

    • Being assertive without alienating our children
    • Using “I messages” to communicate needs
    • Trusting our child’s desire to be helpful vs. presenting requests in a way that is prescriptive
    • Using active listening to gain cooperation
    • The limitations of contingent rewards
    • The impact of rewards on motivation for cooperation – who are they cooperating for
    • Omitting rewards to foster self-discipline and an inner locus of control
    • Preparing children for adulthood by making them less dependent on the judgment of others
    • Using relationship skills to help your child develop a moral compass
    • The power of natural consequences in building resilience and developing internal judgments about right and wrong
    • Trusting children to care and problem solve to find mutual solutions
    • How children’s behavior is impacted by unmet needs
    • Avoiding the temptation to attribute intent or take behavior personally
    • The gift of imperfection and modeling accountability
    • The benefit of modeling alternate skills to teach solutions instead of using punishments
    • The impact we have on the world through our own parenting practices in the way we raise our kids
    • Parenting as imparting soft skills
    • Brainstorming solutions to discomfort when the activity is non-negotiable
    • Creating routines and agreements, doing with vs doing to and communicating expectations in a way that is an invitation to relationship
    • Conflict as competing needs
    • Shifting language around what “works” to what is “helpful” – moving from control to partnership

    What does Joyful Courage mean to you?

    This is what it takes to be a child growing up in an adult’s world and it’s something we so often forget. Children so often are powerless and it takes courage for them to say no when we are the huge person in their life and when they think they might get into trouble and yet they are the most joyful beings on the planet. In the face of the most dire situations, children can somehow find that spark of joy that they can bring out from terrible situations. As a parent, it takes the courage of conviction, to parent against the flow of accepted parenting opinion and practice and the joy comes when you see your children flower and grow sometimes despite your many mistakes.

    April Bonus: Rebecca Gallagher and I Discuss 13 Reasons Why Apr 27, 2017
    Show notes

    ** This podcast is marked explicit for a reason!**

    So happy to have my friend Rebecca Gallagher, from frugalistablog.com on this bonus episode to dig into the popular and controversial Netflix series 13 Reasons Why. Rebecca is raising teens, and like me, watched the show and had powerful discussions about the themes that show up with her daughter.

    Rowan and I actually watched the show together.

    The themes that show up in 13 Reasons Why, created by Brian Yorkey and based on a book of the same name by Jay Ashor, are heavy, and intense. Some parents are unsure about whether it is something they want their kids to see.

    Rebecca and I don't claim to have answers, but we do discuss our own opinions and experiences we had with sharing the show with our kids and the conversation that showed up because of it.

    Topics include sexual assault, bullying, sexual harassment, rape and suicide. Like I said, intense. AND important to be talking about with the young people in our life.

    Let me know what you think!
