Parenting Our Future — Kids & Family
Parenting Our Future

Parents! We CAN change the world, starting with the way we’re parenting our future.
Up to this point in history, children have been seen as less than and parented in a way that uses power over a child. Most of us were parented in this way but there is a shift in thinking about the way we raise our kids. Parents don’t feel good about using shame, blame, criticism, punishments, and even rewards, to get their kids to listen. Parents are wanting a different way because they know from their own childhoods this type of parenting hurts and leaves us with scars we take with us through our adulthood.

Each one of my episodes is designed to help you navigate the difficult journey of parenting but in a way that is more peaceful and intentional. I’ll show you how to get your kids to listen and cooperate without yelling, punishments and rewards. I’ll show you how to understand your own feelings and those of your kids.

My intention is to bring you to a place where you feel connected with your kids and yourself (we often get lost when we become parents!). Tune in weekly for all the inside tips, tools and tricks I teach my private clients to help you build the family you always wanted, and to become the parent you always envisioned you would be. I promise to provide you with fun and entertaining content that will leave you seeing your kids and your reactions in a whole new light!

Please make sure to share the episodes that give you goosebumps, and leave you feeling inspired! I am always grateful for every person who subscribes, leaves a review and rates my podcast 5 stars.

POF06: Women's work and How Dropping the Ball is OK! Aug 19, 2019

Show notes

I'm so happy to have my friend, fellow mom, and one of the newest experts on Cityline, Lindsay Whisen, on this episode. Lindsay and I share a passion for helping people in difficult areas of their lives. Her company serves people by freeing them from energetically draining clutter and inefficiency. In our conversation we talk about the parallels of what we do, in that, both organizing and parenting have always been considered 'women's work'. In this day and age, many moms work and still have all the responsibilities at home. The problem? This is work that is expected of women, work that women 'should' know how to do (without any training, I might add), and is consistently undervalued. Join us for our discussion into this area and find some help and support for your 'cluttered life'.

About Lindsay Whisen

Lindsay is the founder and CEO of Ease Up - The Organizing Experts - a 5-year-old, award-winning company that provides teams of hands-on organizers for people suffering from clutter or disorganization - ultimately their work saves people from wasting time, energy and sanity.

Her passion for Ease Up runs deep as she considers it a feminist endeavor and because she knows first-hand the positive and powerful connection that being organized has with mental health.

Lindsay is passionate about the power of education, social justice, mental health awareness and the energy that is unleashed through being organized.

Lindsay has a "fortune 500 family". She is grateful to be a parent of 2 good kids (ages 7 and 4) and she is tremendously proud of her marriage with Graham

From the Podcast:

Check out Lindsay's book recommendation: "Drop The Ball" by Tiffany Dufu

How many "French Onion Soup Bowls" do you have in your home?

Look at your space; go from room to room and look at all the 'stuff' you are storing. How much of it do you use and really need?

Action steps:

1) Have a bag or box in each closet, and as you notice clothes you/your kids don't wear, clothes that don't fit anymore and are worn out, put them in the box. You are doing a little each day so the task isn't overwhelming. Once the box is full, you can review and give the things you really want to part with away.

2) set yourself up with a plan to do one room a week and remove those things you don't use or need. Ask yourself, "Am I just storing this, or can I let it go?"

Guilt about giving things away?

Some people feel bad because of the money they have spent but reframing the way you look at it will help. Giving something away gives it a new life, blesses someone with something they need, and stops it from going to the landfill.

Formula for Empathy:

Acknowledge/validate what they are feeling

BECAUSE = 2-3 reasons why they might feel that way

Say this:

I get why you are feeling disappointed because

you wanted to stay longer,
you don't want to go home and
you don't want the fun to end.

Right?

If got it right, your child will say "yeah!"

Words of Empathy

It's ok to be sad – I know you are sad and it's ok to cry

I'll stay with you until you feel better

This is really hard for you – I can see how hard this is for you

I'm here with you – I'll stay with you

Tell me about it – tell me more

I hear you

That was really scary, sad, etc.

I will help you work it out

It doesn't feel fair

Emotion words from www.groktheworld.com:

Don't forget that empathy is also for YOU!!!

POF04: Jedi Mind Tricks For Parents Aug 05, 2019

Show notes

Want to add some new superpowers into your parenting? My conversation with Adele Anderson, Certified Natural Medical Practitioner and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Coach and Trainer will help you to understand how our emotions are attached to our physiology and how we can use that knowledge to get more cooperation from our kids!

About Adele Anderson DCH MNLP Coach

Graduate: Vancouver Academy Homeopathy

Trainer: Neuro-Linguistics & New Code practitioner

Coach

At 27 I found myself trapped upside-down, drowning in water in a crashed plane. As my life flashed before my eyes, I knew without a doubt, I was out of breath and out of time. That life experience forever changed my perception and beliefs; about the power of the mind; and that choice exists even in life's most dire circumstances.

Since that fateful day, I have made it my life mission. To understand the mind, conscious choice and empowerment.

For 20+ years I have practiced Natural Medicine, Neuroscience: Neuro-Linguistics programming and now New Code. I work with ages 4-80; 1:1 and with groups. Or study online: communication as a Superpower

From the Podcast:

Personal trance words

Ask your child to describe three things they love to do and listen/write down the words they use to describe them. You will hear some of the same words being used. These words bypass the conscious thinking words. If you want to make something seem fun that they don't normally enjoy; use those words because this is how they describe fun activities.

Magic words

Stimulate a person's imagination. "I don't have to tell you because you already know" which bypasses the resistant critical thinking part of brain. Use words that activate their senses; (think of a lemon) or move their mind through time: before, beyond, during & after.

"You would be surprised if…"
"I know you want to bee seen as a kid who is (responsible, athletic, liked)
"You probably already know what time I want you home tonight"

Command words are task or operational words describe, explain, compare

Now, (Stop)
Use the child's first and middle name
"I really don't know what you want me to do when you say (shut up). Imagine how things would change/what would happen if you didn't say that to your mom? OR "imagine what life would be like if we didn't have these kinds of conversations"
"I don't know" – drops your child's resistance
Adding "Really" is even stronger than "I don't know" – "I really don't know"
Add because, also a power word, and link it to something important to them.
- "Imagine what it would be like to have harmony in our home because I know how much you love it when we are all happy and getting along"
I don't want to do my homework. When talking to your child, try not to use "Don't." Instead, use
- "imagine what school would be like if you studied for the exam and how easy it would be. I know you want to be seen as a kid who excels."

Power words and phrases

Raise your words, not your voice ~ RUMI

Strength comes in building patterns (combinations) of all categories.
And think, 3 little words phrases
The formula for this pattern is to use: adverbs and adjectives, + space and time+ cause and effect
Do it now!
Not before dinner
Because I asked
Examples of words to use are: naturally easily, unlimited, aware, realize, experience, before, after, expand, beyond, and, because - example: most easily, naturally unlimited, extremely natural, always easy,

From the Podcast:

What intentions would you like to embody in your way of parenting?
What would your family look like if you had a magic wand and could transform the relationships in your family? Paint yourself a vivid and detailed description. One that you can come back to when things are stressful.

Set a clear and attainable intention every day
Today I will:__________
Accept my child's struggle to wake up in the morning ii. Talk less and listen more iii. choose to listen intently to my child
Implementation Intentions by Peter Gollwitzer = When X happens, I will engage in Y
Use these for yourself and your kids.
Example for you: When my son doesn't nap, I'll take him for a walk and not let it ruin my day ii. Example for your child: When I feel overwhelmed, I'll ask for help

From the Podcast:

Question #1 Understanding meltdown When kids are too young to express themselves and name their emotions follow these steps:

1. Accept your child has big emotions

Name what your child must be feeling
Give them empathy – feeling things you can't name is really hard and can feel scary for a child
Accept again
You need to know what your emotions are as well. Follow this link to get your list of feelings

from groktheworld.com http://www.groktheworld.com/feelings-needs-body-sensations-lists

Question #2 steps to getting your kids to listen

Notice where you are in relationship to your child when you ask them to do something
Go to them and connect with them – touch them on the arm or back to take them into the here

and now.
Make your request once you have their attention
Take them
Give them any help they need

POF01: Welcome to Parenting Our Future! Jul 15, 2019

Show notes

In my podcast, my intention is to create a safe place for anyone listening. This is for parents who are struggling, parents who are just looking for some new ways. This podcast is for you if you've had a good day, if you've had a bad day, if you've been struggling for a week or years! This is for you if you have one child or many, young children or adult children (grandparents welcome!!)

In this episode I share my journey into motherhood and how it shook me so hard I lost myself and the vision of the mother I thought I would be. In my deepest despair, I found a way out through peaceful parenting. Not only did I find a way to connect with my kids and get more cooperation and connection, I became much more confident mom and found my way back to myself.

Because I'm so passionate about the practice of Peaceful Parenting, I want to share with you what it's all about and how it can make a difference for you as well!

From the Podcast:

Active Compassionate Listening:

Listen Intently: What is said in words and non-verbally – put your phone down, no distractions all attention on the person speaking
Listen without judgement: We go through our days with judgement filters – so try to lift those filters so you can really hear the other person. Listen for understanding, not to judge or respond
Listen without interruption: Most of the time when we interrupt, it can come from a good place of wanting to share. We have lots of thoughts when someone is talking but try to make a conscious effort to listen and keep quiet without interrupting.
Listen without comparing: your mind wants to actively go to how you compare but it takes you out of listening

PROTIP- repeat back what you heard!
