During that time she launched into her side job as a group fitness instructor and began diving deeper into understanding nutrition.

In 2012 when her first was born she left her career in HR and dove straight into motherhood. An epic and surprising journey!

MMP Ep. 88: Navigating Challenging Behaviors in Toddlers with Michelle Carlson Feb 20, 2019

Show notes

"Guest Interview: Navigating Challenging Behaviors in Toddlers with Michelle Carlson

In this episode, Jess sits down with Michelle Carlson of Peace and Parenting to chat all about how to navigate trouble behaviors in toddlers while remaining respectful and cooperative. This episode was so incredibly insightful with regards to hitting, biting, talking back, and other common and normal behaviors in our kiddos! Michelle chats strategies to stay engaged, present, and calm while parenting through these challenging behaviors!

Download in iTunes HERE & on Stitcher HERE!

Michelle lives in Los Angeles with her two girls 9 and 12. Before becoming a Hand in Hand certified instructor in 2015, she worked for 12 years in public schools as a teacher and counselor. She also served as an adjunct professor in the Department of Education instructing in the teacher credentialing program. None of which prepared her to be a mom. After years of consequences, bribes and star charts she found Hand in Hand parenting, created by Patty Wipfler. It reshaped the relationship she shares with her daughters, and she credits it with changing her life.

She is passionate about helping others find their way through the murky business of being a connected parent. She loves leading groups and finds the dynamic transformative. Michelle also strongly believes that listening partnerships are the cornerstone to moving through difficulties.

Michelle has helped herself and others make meaningful connections, work on sibling rivalry, and alleviate school problems. Aggression, fears, withdrawnness and sleep are just some of the struggles she has shared and helped others rectify.

She holds a Master’s Degree in Education speaks fluent Spanish, has been trained as a Council in Schools Facilitator and an ADL Trainer fighting against bias of all types on school campuses.
