Are You Quick to Anger with Your Kids? Jul 20, 2023

Show notes

Early on in my parenting journey, I snapped at my daughter and yelled so loudly that I scared her. I needed her to listen to me and respect me, but I was actually trying to fulfill an unmet need I had experienced when I was a child. I wanted to be a parent so badly, and I wanted to do it better than my parents. I was trying to be Super Mom, and when my daughter didn't recognize my efforts, I got pissed.

If you find yourself easily getting angry and snapping at your children, today's episode could help you examine your inner self and understand what triggers that behavior.

Schools Need to Prioritize Connection Not Curriculum Jul 06, 2023

Show notes

The impact of standardized testing on the learning experience is quite significant. Teachers are under an immense amount of pressure to produce results since funding is often linked to test scores. This puts them in a difficult spot, as they strive to educate their students while also trying to achieve good grades on tests. Unfortunately, this emphasis on test scores and the curriculum has led to a disconnect between educators and their students. Our education system is mainly focused on performance, but this approach may not be the most effective way to promote learning. If we prioritize building relationships and fostering connections, we may be able to give our students a better chance at academic success.

Fighting in Front of Your Kids Is Healthy as Long as You Do It Right Jul 04, 2023

Show notes

It's important to be mindful of how we handle disagreements in front of our kids. Engaging in arguments that involve belittlement, shaming, yelling, or even throwing things can cause anxiety and even aggression in our children. Moreover, they may mimic these behaviors in future arguments because that’s what they were modeled.

On the other hand, by demonstrating how to remain calm and composed during an argument, we can teach our kids valuable life skills. Fighting in a healthy way can teach them valuable life skills and positive conflict resolution.

How Connection Can Stop Kids Hitting, Kicking, and Biting Jun 29, 2023

Show notes

In our society, there is a common belief that children who exhibit strong emotions, reactions, and aggressive behaviors are the ones who need to be punished and corrected. However, it's important to recognize that the child who is hitting, kicking, or biting is likely the one who is in pain and struggling, and until we can help them feel better and more connected, everyone around them is at risk of getting hurt.

Society’s Need to Diagnose Jun 22, 2023

Show notes

Today I tackle a big question from one of my Instagram followers about the bent that society has to label or diagnose young kids with bad behavior, they tend to want to put these kids in a box but the problem here is that this box has been created using artificial parameters around rewards, punishments and threats. Today I share my thoughts on what needs to change because we want our children to be more than just obedient soldiers, which is what society seems to be trying to shape them into.
