Connection Is Better Than Correction Mar 02, 2023

Show notes

Many of us grew up with our parents teaching us lessons through correction, we would make a mistake or do something wrong and our parents would come in with phrases like ”You shouldn’t have done that” or “That was wrong”. In this episode, I'll show you how you come in with connection instead and why this goes further towards building relationship with our kids.

I am rolling out a new parenting mastermind this spring to help parents like you experience more connection, more love, and less frustration with the children they love. There are a limited number of spots so join now if you're interested.

Why We Shouldn’t Say “You Hurt My Feelings” to Our Kids Feb 28, 2023

Show notes

I recently made a post on Instagram where I told parents they should not say to their kids “You hurt my feelings” whenever they say something mean or unkind. This post garnered a lot of comments so I thought I would unpack it further in today’s episode. The parent-child relationship differs from our other relationships, we have to give our kids space to have big feelings and say things without shaming them and making it about us and how we feel.

Working with individuals and couples is my most favorite work. We dive deeply into the ideas of connection and unravel the struggles of each individual family I work with. It’s a transformational paradigm shift each and every time. I have seen families undergo huge changes that forever impact their relationships. My One on One programs have limited space, so if you're interested click here to find out more. I look forward to working with you.

How to Reduce Sibling Rivalry Feb 21, 2023

Show notes

As parents, we often think that we need to step in between sibling arguments and rescue the child who is the victim of this aggressive behavior from their sibling, Today on the show I want to talk about using connection and empathy instead of shame and how this shift in how I handled these situations with my kids eventually helped them to think more clearly and even work things out without me.

Parenting Is an Endeavor in Changing Our Behavior Not Our Kids Feb 16, 2023

Show notes

We might think that it’s our role as parents to modify and correct the behavior of our kids, and we often do that by using rewards and punishments. But this is an archaic principle developed from lab tests with rats. Today Michelle talks about how being a parent is more about relationship management, and changing our own behavior and self-regulation is the key to influencing our kid's behavior.
