Do you Parent Through Fear? Feb 07, 2023

Show notes

In this podcast episode, we tackle the thing many of us do, but aren’t even aware of. Allowing our fear and anxiety to take the wheel when we’re parenting. It would be easy to call this helicopter parenting, but it is so much more. This “parenting through fear” is driven by our anxiety and fear that something bad will happen if we leave our kids to their own devices or if they make a wrong choice.

But there are things we can do to nip this parenting bad habit in the bud. We share 3 easy ways to stop parenting through fear and start positive parenting with confidence!

Changing How You React to Your Kids with Mr. Chazz Jan 31, 2023

Show notes

We all have those moments in parenting where it seems like your child is just trying to push your buttons. It feels like it’s you against them. But what if we told you that’s not it at all, and that by changing the way you react in those pivotal moments, you could have a much calmer experience with those button-pushing, big-emotion moments?

In this podcast, we are chatting with Mr. Chazz, the Founder of Mr. Chazz's Leadership, Parenting and Teaching Podcast, parent coach, speaker, teacher, and content creator. He helps adults understand and guide children, Breaking Generational Cycles, all while using Conscious Discipline techniques.

Mr. Chazz shares with us why we can get more effective results with our kids when we change our reaction to their behavior, rather than trying to change their behavior, and 3 practical tips to help children solve problems and move through challenges.

Why We Struggle When We Feel Happy and Sad About Being a Mom with Kelly Smith Jan 24, 2023

Show notes

As mothers, we often feel guilty for having opposing feelings about motherhood. We tell ourselves that we should be grateful for everything that we do have which only negates our feeling when we aren't “loving” being a mom at the moment. But guess what, you can be both happy and sad about being a moms. That’s okay.

In this podcast we talk with Kelly Smith, a globally celebrated yoga and meditation teacher, founder of Yoga For You, and host of the podcasts, Mindful In Minutes and Meditation Mama. Kelly believes that there is not a one-size-fits-all approach to yoga and meditation and encourages her students to find their own personal practice, listen to their bodies, and find inner joy by accessing their most authentic selves and owning their power.

We talk about how sometimes we are just “touched out” and how important it is to be kinder to yourself, and allow yourself to feel happy and sad about being a mom.

How School Start Times Could Be Hurting Your Teen's Brain Development with Lisa L. Lewis Jan 10, 2023

Show notes

We all know that lack of sleep affects how you learn and develop. And we know that most teens don't get enough sleep. They stay up late at night and then have to get up and start their school day before many of us parents even start our work day. But what if we told you there’s a reason for that, a biological one, and that chances are good that your teen's current school start time conflicts with the current research on teen brain development?

In this podcast episode we are talking with Lisa Lewis. She’s a parenting journalist and author of book, The Sleep-Deprived Teen. Lisa focuses on the intersection of parenting, public health and education, and helped spark California's landmark healthy-school-start-times law.

We talk about how sleep deprivation heightens impulsive & risky behaviors (especially in teens), why the current school start schedule is the way it is in the U.S., and what parents can do to help their teen get enough sleep.

5 Steps to Being a More Patient Parent Encore Jan 03, 2023

Show notes

Has this happened to you? You walk into the living room and see your kid’s shoes thrown on the couch. You calmly ask your kid to take their shoes off the couch and put them away. You come back later, and there is your kid, and there are the shoes. Still on the couch. So you ask again, and your kids tells you that they will do it in a minute. Then you come in the room again, and nothing has happened. Neither the shoes nor your kid has moved. You absolutely lose it! You yell at your kid, they yell back at you or start crying, and then you end up putting the shoes away yourself.

Show notes

It’s estimated that about 32% of American teens have anxiety. Are we surprised? Our kids have a lot on their plates: getting good grades, social media, and everything involved with that, navigating and maintaining friendships. And it gets even more difficult when you add anxiety to the mix. And as moms, we often feel like it’s our job to take it all on, support, and even fix it all for our kids. Guess what? You’re not supposed to be your child’s therapist! You can’t fix it all.

In this episode, we are talking with Regine Galanti. She’s the founder of Long Island Behavioral Psychology, a private practice in NY, and Author of Anxiety Relief for Teens her newest book, When Harley Has Anxiety. She specializes in helping kids, teens, and parents manage anxiety through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and specifically giving them tools to help them face their fears.

We share all the fears we have as parents about our kids' anxiety, how our own beliefs can affect how we view anxiety in our kids and what we can actually do to help our kids if we feel they’re struggling with anxiety.
