Here is what to expect on this week’s show:

If you’re struggling emotionally, talk to someone…your mom, your best friend, your partner; if you let it sit, your feelings will find a way out.
When you’re not thinking clearly during an argument, walk away for 20 minutes to clear your head.
Start using a ‘time-out’ word or hand signal when you need take a break, and have an action plan.
Dig underneath the argument to find what is really wrong; are needs not being met, is communication unclear?
You can’t problem solve when you’re mad.
Understand what’s important to your partner.
Know your partner’s love language and ensure they know yours.
Be aware of what you need and communicate that to your partner.

Episode 215: Lessons Learned From Day Two of My First Summit Feb 08, 2023

Show notes

Rebecca hosted a two day Parenting and Marriage Summit with excellent guest experts on, you guessed it: parenting and marriage! If you weren’t able to attend, please be on the lookout for those presentations coming up on the podcast!

This week, Rebecca discusses the lessons learned from her presenters on day 2 of the summit:

Elaine Taylor-Klaus and Diane Dempster of ImpactParents honed in on complex behaviors in kids and how tools to cope with things like ADHD and anxiety translate well for all children. Things to consider: Is it naughty or neurological? Meet your child where they are at and set them up for success. What motivates your child?
Rebekah Maddux-El Hakum spoke about marriage and relationships and teaches us to be more intentional with our words. “Never” and “Always” tend to be trigger words for an argument. She also discussed the stages our children go through and how we can’t compare one child to another and expect them to be the same at the same ages.
Allana Robinson taught us about how the brain works. She dives into thought, reasoning, and executive functioning in kids. Consistency and predictability will lead to a better sense of security in our kids.
Judy Herman discusses marriage and navigating emotions. Be curious with your partner about how they feel, it pulls you away from being judgmental. Learning to empathize will go a long way. In regards to choosing a partner, we pick, project, and provoke, which relates to your relationship with your parents when you were a child.
Dr. Laura Froyen teaches us that reframing triggers can create an opportunity to grow and learn. We can “reparent” ourselves and learn things we did not learn as children. Learning coping skills when you are calm will help you when you are in the midst of the conflict.
