Unpunished: The Pressure to Be the Perfect Parent Apr 11, 2023

Show notes

On the 200th episode, I reflect on a significant lesson I've learned: being my child's best friend doesn't eliminate conflict. I used to put immense pressure on myself to be perfect, but I've since realized that connected parenting is built on unconditional acceptance, not back-and-forth games. It's okay to make mistakes as a parent, and building a strong connection with our children is what truly matters. Thanks for joining me on this journey!

Stick around at the end for a special 200th episode giveaway.

Using Probing Questions to Help Your Child’s Decision-Making Skills Apr 06, 2023

Show notes

I believe every child needs to be a good decision-maker, but they can't become good decision-makers if they don’t have decisions to make. While giving advice may seem like good parenting, I think it actually hinders children's ability to learn from their mistakes. Instead, I suggest we listen to our little ones first and use some probing questions to help them make their own decisions. With the right approach, children can learn to help themselves and bounce back from their failures with ease.

How to Know if Your Parenting Is Working Apr 04, 2023

Show notes

If you’ve recently started on this connected parenting journey sometimes it's hard to know if you’re getting any results. Many of my clients are concerned that their kids are still misbehaving, and still fighting with each other, and still throwing tantrums. But that’s not how we measure your parenting, we measure by way of how YOU are feeling, whether you are calmer and more in control. Just because we change doesn’t mean our kids will change, it takes them a while.

In the early days of my parenting journey, I was all about activities and productivity, I wanted to get things done! I tried to fix my own childhood through my motherhood. I was providing everything for these kids, home-cooked meals, extracurricular activities, play dates, and structure but I was missing one big thing. And when I discovered it, everything changed.

Show notes

If you’ve recently started trying connected parenting you may have the same question many of my clients have and that is “why is it getting worse?”.

A New Parenting Mindset Mar 16, 2023

Show notes

One of the first things we need to do in order to implement a connected parenting style is to change our mindset. But making this shift is extremely difficult because society has told us that children are inherently bad and that they need us to make them good. I don’t believe this is true and if we can get past the judgment and allow our kids to make mistakes and sit with them during the hard times it will create a much more connected and empathetic kid as they grow up.

Show notes

Have you ever yelled at your child for leaving their clothes on the floor or not hanging their school bag up when they walk in the door? Today I want to unpack why it is that our children’s behavior can trigger us into wild outbursts of anger and how although we will never be able to control our kid's actions, we can control our reactions.
