Traveling with Kids Sep 30, 2020

Show notes

Traveling seems like such a reprieve from our everyday life but traveling with kids is not the carefree adventures we are used to. We'll try to make sense of what's hard during travel and what to really expect and why. Don't forget to join our private Facebook community group and check out our Patreon for extras!

Keeping Our Kids Safe Sep 23, 2020

Show notes

Amanda Zunck, of Find the Light Podcast, joins us to discuss how to keep our kids safe in a world in which child pornography (child sexual abuse material), pedophilia and trafficking is a multi billion dollar industry. She teaches us how to arm ourselves and our children with the knowledge and skills we need for protection. Check out this book for some extra help in starting a discussion with your kids: Good Pictures, Bad Pictures and please reach out to us if you want to learn more.

Imagination and Independent Play Sep 16, 2020

Show notes

Independent play and having a vivid imagination opens up so many doors for our children. We want to see their ability to play by themselves and create a whole world for themselves while we get our adult stuff done or even sit down and feel some independence ourselves. We go in depth into how to facilitate the development of both and what works and doesn't work for us. Check our Instagram page for a journaling guide around play and join our Facebook Community Group for more discussion.

The Argument Against Reasoning and Lecturing Sep 09, 2020

Show notes

Reasoning and explaining can often feel like a need for us. In our adult minds we believe if we explain why things are a certain way, our child will relinquish their upset feelings. Yet just the opposite is true. Listen in as we give the 411 on why reasoning can be considered a punishment in itself. Don't forget to check out our Patreon for all new freebies from Michelle!

We're back for Season Two!! We're kicking off with an episode all on getting back to school. This can be difficult for parents and children alike but even more difficult with all the changes this year. While we all navigate the "new normal," and try to find our peace within this tumultuous time, we discuss what’s become obvious over the last year and how to start this year with as much ease as possible. We referenced a couple books that may be helpful for kids as we transition back, find them here: How Full Is Your Bucket? and Alexander.

Fears Jul 15, 2020

Show notes

We, as parents, want to help our children overcome their fears and reason them away with simple messages like, "there are no monsters in the closet," "just jump in the water, you'll be fine," or "there's no such thing as the boogie man." But does this really help them overcome the fear itself? Or do they just shove it down to appease us? We are talking about why we sit through all the fears that come up in childhood and how to facilitate a safe space for them to process and eventually come to terms with their fears. Learn how to get more connected and cooperative kids with Michelle's Guide to Cooperation Course!

Potty Training Jul 01, 2020

Show notes

Training our kids to pee and poop in the toilet can be a daunting task! Between the two of us, we've been through it four times and Michelle has helped numerous families through the process. Listen in for our take on it and all the ways we've found that make connection well worth the time! Michelle's Guide to Cooperation is a great aid for potty training and so much more and here is the link to an article that may be helpful in getting started!

Shame Jun 24, 2020

Show notes

We're talking about shame when it comes to our kids, ourselves and others. We believe our children need to hear how wrong they are for their behaviors or words at times and we use shame to do this. We have come to realize it actually makes them act out even more and the cycle of shame continues. Listen to how we avoid shame in all aspects. If you haven't already, check out Michelle's Guide to Cooperation course for even more!!

Lying Jun 17, 2020

Show notes

We want our kids to be moral, honest people but that pressure can cause us to reject lies at all costs. Are all lies wrong? We're talking about how to manage lying from our kids, where it comes from and how to change the dynamic around it. Check us out all over social media, support us on our Patreon and for extra help, Michelle has created an amazing course on Cooperation!!
