PARENT COACHING: PEER OPERATION IN A 6 YEAR OLD CHILD Mar 15, 2020

Show notes

"It's probably been going on for the past two, maybe two and a half years. As I said, my son is six and a half years old and any time we're in a social gathering, social setting, he goes into a kind of hyperdrive, on a regular basis."

This week on the 3D Parent Podcast, we're going to listen in on this live parent coaching session where I will be working with the parent of a 6 year old boy, which is having some trouble handling being in social situations and participating in large social gatherings.

Together, we'll learn:

the history of this particular challenge for this parent
identify the root causes of what may be causing this
and problem-solve solutions with the 3D parent approach in mind (the 3d parent approach is my method of parenting with dignity, direction, and deep connection).

I hope the tips in this episode are helpful, not only to current parents, but for anyone who is embarking on their own parenting journey, and for you as well.

HOW TO HANDLE YOUR CHILD’S LIES Mar 08, 2020

Show notes

"All of us have experienced at one time or another, our children lying when they're young. It can be kind of cute, they're not very good at lying (but) as they get older, it can become a more persistent problem. It can be distressing for parents and sometimes parents get really fearful that they're raising a pathological liar or a child who is going to really struggle with being honest and telling the truth throughout their entire life."

This week on the 3D Parent Podcast, we will be talking about how to handle your child’s lies, as well as provide some insight to help make sense of what’s going on and where the lying might be coming from so that you may have a better understanding of what’s happening.

We will go over topics such as:

How to determine the underlying factors that might be causing this period of lying
How to address the root cause of your child lying once you identify it
How to identify if there might be something going on at a much deeper level in your relationship with your child

I hope these tips help with the issues you may have if you're experiencing lying with your children, and prove to be excellent ideas that you can apply. Especially if this has been a recurrent problem already.

Q & A - YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED Mar 01, 2020

Show notes

“Sometimes kids get into trouble in restaurants because we're not really focused on them. We kind of turn our attention off to our kids and instead maybe we're engaging in conversations with the other adults at the table, and we kind of lose focus that our kids actually need our attention and our direction …“

This week on the 3D Parent Podcast, I will be answering three questions from listeners and providing tips and suggestions to help you navigate each of these specific scenarios.

Some of the topics covered in this episode include:

Avoiding using phones and iPads to get through dining out with your children.
Whether or not you should force your children to share, and how to handle sharing when other children or parents are around.
How to navigate visiting relatives that think you should be more firm or strict with your children when disciplining them.

I hope the tips in this episode are helpful, not only to the listeners who asked the questions, but for you as well.

THE POWER AND IMPORTANCE OF PLAY Feb 23, 2020

Show notes

“Kids who have the opportunity to do this open ended play, these children grow up into really confident older children, teens, tweens and adults, because they have this kind of ability to work through emotions, discover passions, work on critical thinking skills and creativity, and develop their own self sense of self …”

This week on the 3D Parent Podcast, we will be learning about the importance of open ended play for our children and what that looks like depending on your child’s age.

I will take you through different kinds of open ended play for young children, tween and teens and even adults (yes we need play too!). I will also give you some guidance on what to look for in terms of play when you are selecting schools for your children, and tips on how to incorporate more time for play into your everyday lives.

Aha Parenting: 4 Year Old Having Potty Accidents

PARENT COACHING: POTTY TRAINING SETBACKS WITH A 5 YEAR OLD Feb 16, 2020

Show notes

“… you're completely right. When we address it in the moment, it doesn't have the same impact because then all those defenses are up. So we have to address it and have this conversation outside of the incident.”

This week on the 3D Parent Podcast, I will be coaching a parent through some struggles with potty training her daughter. We will discuss some of the events leading up to this, her daughter's history with potty training, and any changes that may be relevant to this setback. Then I will help Gini develop a plan for her and her daughter to tackle this struggle in a way that will allow her daughter to master this skill on her own.

Some topics we will go over include:

The two main reasons children struggle with mastering potty training
The two most common stressors in a child's life
Ways to help remove the guilt and shame around accidents and how to create a plan to help your child master going to the bathroom on their own

I hope this episode is helpful for anyone with a child that is struggling to learn to use the bathroom on their own. Please reach out if you have any further questions!

CONFESSIONS OF A PARENT COACH WHO IS IN THE PARENTING TRENCHES Jan 26, 2020

Show notes

“ … my kids are faced with all these challenges, which causes emotional reactions in them, which can sometimes trigger emotional reactions in me. And so I'm not always executing where my intentions are as a parent. I'm not always able to reach the standard I set for myself and my parenting. But here's the thing, I'm OK with that. I'm human. I am not a robot. I don't always do things perfectly.”

This week on the 3D Parent Podcast, I am taking you on a little journey of how I got to where I am today as a parent coach. My fears surrounding taking parent coaching on as a career, and how I coach myself when I realize my parenting isn’t aligning with my intentions as a parent.

I will be sharing some of my best tips and tricks to help you gut check yourself as a parent, as well as giving you a glimpse into my everyday life and struggle as a parent of four. I’m not perfect, I am human just like you, striving to be the best parent I can be for my children. Sometimes I miss the mark, and that is okay, as long as I learn and try to do better.

PARENT COACHING: AGGRESSION TOWARD NANNY Jan 19, 2020

Show notes

“ … aggression is really what happens for kids when they don't want to feel something that is very vulnerable. So when there's a there's an underlying feeling that they just don't want to face, a lot of times kids will lash out in aggression.”

This week on the 3D Parent Podcast, I welcome a fellow parent and friend, Elizabeth and we are going to be focusing today’s episode around working through childhood aggression toward parents and a nanny or caregiver.

Throughout the episode we recognize there are a couple different things at play in this situation. We will revisit some topics that I’ve already discussed on the podcast, including understanding childhood aggression and cultivating a deep connection with your child. But we also touch on how to help bridge separation for a child if that is something that is causing them distress.

This episode is full of helpful tips and tricks on a variety of different topics, so it really gives you a good example of how all of the tools I’ve discussed can be utilized together to help you continue to raise your children with discipline without sacrificing your relationship with them.
