57: Mommy Burnout with Dr. Sheryl Ziegler Jul 02, 2018

Show notes

Are you trying to be "the perfect mom?" Think you're "not very good at being a mother…?" This podcast and book are for you!

Mommy Burnout: How to Reclaim Your Life and Raise Healthier Children in the Process

Although the title of this book, by Dr. Sheryl Ziegler, might sound like a book for mothers of younger children, be assured that it's not. Moms of teenagers experience burnout too, and can benefit from not only listening to this podcast but also reading the book.

Burnout has its symptoms and it has its remedies, and Dr. Ziegler is an expert in both. In our podcast, Dr. Ziegler talks about how burnout can affect so many parts of a woman's life: friendships, partnerships, work, and of course, our kids.

The podcast is a great introduction to a book I highly recommend. Dr. Ziegler can be found at www.drsherylziegler.com; and the book at www.mommyburnout.com.

54: Rebecca Mannis Part 2, Can you teach grit? Jun 11, 2018

Show notes

Grit is a word that we hear a lot these days; we talk about it in the Biggest Job Workshops, and in part 2 of our conversation with Rebecca Mannis, a learning specialist who founded Ivy-Prep, we learn that grit is something that can be intentionally taught to kids.

"There are ways in which we can step back and understand what our responses are and appreciate our experience", Dr. Mannis says. "Encourage your kids to appreciate why it is they may be feeling a certain way; encourage them to try something even if it brings up discomfort."

Dr. Mannis also shares in this podcast her views about how technology has increased anxiety in kids.

53: Rebecca Mannis: Educate a child according to his nature Jun 04, 2018

Show notes

Dr. Rebecca Mannis, a learning specialist and founder of Ivy Prep, says that each child has a natural way of learning, whether they are intellectually gifted or specifically challenged with a learning issue. Her Ivy Prep Learning Center bridges the fields of neuropsychology and education in a targeted and customized way to help students of all ages in NYC and worldwide. The Ivy Prep approach uses methods, tools and tech that enhance learning via a cohesive education action plan that tends to the total individual.

In this interview, Dr. Mannis talks about how students come to understand how they learn best and how to work effectively on their own at home and at school. This is called "metacognitive awareness – awareness of one's own thought process."

But don't let the big words keep you from listening; Dr. Mannis explains her field and puts everything into terms any parent can understand. There are specific ways parents and teachers can help kids become their own best guides. And it's all closely related to unique potential!

52: Laura Gauld: Parenting is Messy, Mantras 71 – 75 May 21, 2018

Show notes

"Parenting is messy," says Laura Gauld. When I think about this, it's really true! Parenting is messy. Just accepting this might make the job a little easier, don't you think? We might not get so caught up in how we look as a parent or how we're doing at the job. It's also important to remember that humor and humility are two very important traits in parenting.

In this podcast, Laura shares with us the following mantras from Fundamental #4 (Have faith in your child's unique potential and the larger forces at work):

Take hold and let go.
Humility to ask for and accept help.
You may not always see the teacher in your child's life.
"Turn that attitude into gratitude."
Let go of yesterday and tomorrow.

50: Laura Gauld: You are in this game for the long haul! Mantras 66-70 May 07, 2018

Show notes

"You are in this game for the long haul!"

I know you've heard this said before, or in different ways, but hang on to this mantra, as it's so important. Hang on, too, to the vision you have for your child. Sometimes they may say they don't have a vision for themselves, or they don't care, but they do; "every child wants to be somebody."

Today's mantras are important (aren't they all?) – but they can escape our memories and our practice of parenting when we get caught up in so much "every day stuff." So listen carefully, listen twice, even, and share this and all our podcasts with your friends. (We can add your friends to our list so they receive the notices directly.)

Included in today's podcast are the following mantras:

Set High expectations and let go of the outcome. (Parenting Priority 4)
Hold on to both the reality and vision you have for your child.
Believe in yourself and the best of your child.
Let go of all the "what ifs" and believe that your child is capable of figuring it out.
You are in this game for the long haul.

49: Laura Gauld: Resist Labels of Any Kind, Mantras 61-65 Apr 30, 2018

Show notes

Parenting Fundamental 4: Have faith in your child's unique potential and the larger forces at work.

This 13th podcast with Laura Gauld is a special one. (Not that they aren't all great!)

This fourth fundamental is a wonderful tool to help us as parents let go when things go off track – getting out of the way so our kids can experience some short-term struggles for long-term gain - learning something about themselves, acquiring some grit and some courage. Laura also talks about labels we put on our kids and the importance of creating a partnership based on trust with your child's teachers and coaches.

Today's mantras are:

Allow obstacles to become opportunities
Resist labels of any kind
Give others permission to challenge your child
Who you are is more important than what you can do.
"Your children are not your children."
