PAIGE- 3 Tips to Keep Summer From Stealing Your Sanity Jun 08, 2022

Show notes

Summer is coming in HOT! And that's no joke. We're moving into the season where parents become full-time entertainers and the days of focused work are gone. For me, summer season is accompanied by excitement, sleeping in, eating all the ice cream, and memorable family adventures. The other part of summer is knowing that, as much as you love your sticky-fingered mess makers, the unadulterated quality time + energy you’re going to be putting into making summer magic means there’s a lot less time + energy to maintaining your sanity. I’m here to help you keep summer from stealing your sanity while still creating the magic you hope for while being the intentional, incredible, SANE parent that I know you are.

Takeaways, DO let your kids be bored, DO prioritize quality over quantity, and DON'T get caught up in the "Should's" of summer.

Lindsay- What to do when you've lost your cool May 04, 2022

Show notes

You've lost it, now what? In this episode, Lindsay breaks down Repair after Rupture. Repairing after rupture is basically a formula for repairing your relationship with your child after there has been a conflict or disconnect. Repairing can teach our child so many things (reminding yourself of the lessons it teaches can be so helpful when we are caught in the shame cycle). It models conflict resolution skills, and accountability. Most importantly it shows our child that because we aren’t perfect it means that they don’t need to perfect.
