Rewards. Kids love them. Adults love them. How could there possibly be a problem with them?

Disabling Your Labeling – 065 Nov 05, 2019

Show notes

How did people describe you as a kid? Were you "the shy one,” “the sensitive one” or “the wild one?” Were you "athletic," "nerdy," or "gifted?" Now your kids are being labeled, too -- by you, their teachers, and their peers. Join me for this episode, as I share how labels impact kids, and how they shape the way you (and others) interact with them. www.lessdramamoremama.com/065

Your Evidence File – 064 Oct 29, 2019

Show notes

“We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.” -- Anais Nin
I find the human brain fascinating. When we think a negative thought, our brains go to work looking for (and creating) evidence to prove it true. When we think a positive thought, our brains go to work looking for (and creating) evidence to prove that true, too. When we give ourselves evidence to prove a thought, the neural pathways in the brain get stronger and the thought becomes more ingrained in our minds. If you want to think new thoughts, you need to seek new evidence. Join me for this episode as I explain how to create your own Evidence File and deliberately program new thoughts. www.lessdramamoremama.com/064

Your 2020 Vision and Mental Rehearsal – 062 Oct 15, 2019

Show notes

As people get older, they tend to look back at where they’ve been, rather than ahead to where they’re going. They just ride out their lives re-creating their past over and over again. Living from the past is a very predictable, safe, and comfortable way to live. But if you're yearning for more and wish to create a future that's different from your past, this episode is for you. Join me as I share tools to help you create your 2020 Vision. www.lessdramamoremama.com/062

Sorry, Not Sorry: Kids and Apologies – 061 Oct 08, 2019

Show notes

If you want your kids to take responsibility for their actions, handle mistakes with grace, and apologize with sincerity, this episode is for you. Many parents force their kids to apologize when they've made a mistake, rather than help them learn from it and understand another person's point of view. Join me for this episode, where I talk about how to help your kids make amends after they've made a mistake, and how to model a genuine apology. www.lessdramamoremama.com/061

Husband Resentment – 059 Sep 24, 2019

Show notes

I've coached so many moms who harbor resentment toward their husbands that I wanted to dedicate an entire episode to it. If you don’t have a husband or you don’t feel resentment toward yours, feel free to substitute someone else. All of the concepts will apply if you're feeling resentful towards anyone. Join me as I talk about what resentment is, what causes it, and how to let it go. www.lessdramamoremama.com/059
