Setting Boundaries That Support Your Child’s Regulation and Trust | Solo Episode Jun 03, 2025

Welcome back to the We Nurture Podcast!

In this week's solo episode, I’m diving into one of the most important and sometimes challenging parts of parenting—setting boundaries with your child.

If you’ve ever struggled with what to say when your child hits, bites, screams, or resists your limits, you’re not alone. Many parents wonder how to set boundaries that actually work—ones that are clear, and consistent. Boundaries aren’t about controlling your child, they’re about creating safety, clarity, and emotional security.

You’ll come away with simple phrases to use in the moment, insight into why boundaries feel so hard sometimes, and encouragement to stay rooted in love and presence, even during the tough moments.

In this episode, I share:

Why boundaries are essential for your child’s emotional growth
How to set limits with clarity and connection
How to respond when your child hits, bites, or screams
the importance of connection and acknowledging your child's feelings

This episode will help you feel more confident, more centered, and more connected as you guide your child with boundaries rooted in love.

Welcome back to the We Nurture Podcast!

In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Hunter Clarke-Fields— author of Raising Good Humans—for a conversation on how we can move away from reactive parenting and toward a more mindful, connected approach.

We talk about what it really means to be a mindful parent, especially in those everyday moments that test our patience. Hunter shares powerful tools on how we can break cycles of yelling and frustration, and instead create more calm, connection, and intention in our relationships with our children.

In this episode, we explore:

What mindful parenting looks like in everyday life
Tools to self-regulate in the moment
Tips to stop yelling
Mindset shifts that lead to lasting change

The Deeper Need Behind Your Child's Defiance | Solo Episode May 20, 2025

If your child says “no” to every request, ignores your instructions, or pushes back against every boundary, you’re not alone. Defiance in early childhood is one of the most challenging behaviors to navigate, and it often leaves parents feeling exhausted, confused, or even doubting themselves.

In this solo episode of The We Nurture Podcast, I explore what is behind defiant behavior in children so that you can get to the root of the challenge.

You’ll learn why children say “no,” what’s often hiding underneath defiance, and how to support your child through this behavior. This episode will help you shift from frustration to understanding—and offer practical ideas for building more cooperation, trust, and ease in your daily rhythm.

In this episode, I share:
– Why your child might be saying “no” more often
– How to make your home a place of more connection and less correction
– What children really need when they are defiant
– How connection reduces power struggles

Whether you're dealing with frequent “nos,” full-on meltdowns, or subtle resistance, this conversation will help you feel more grounded and empowered to parent with love and intention.

In this solo episode of The We Nurture Podcast, Chinyelu shares insights to help you navigate one of the most tender parts of the day for your child: bedtime.

If your child resists going to sleep, expresses fears at night, or needs more from you at bedtime than you feel you have to give, you’re not alone.

In this episode, Chinyelu explores:

Why fears and resistance often show up at bedtime

How to Curate Outside Toys and Backyard Play to Increase Your Child's Outdoor Play [From the Archives] Apr 15, 2025

[From the Archives] This episode was originally aired on July 15th, 2022.

Spending time outdoors is real food for the soul, real food for the senses, as it nourishes the young child’s senses. Spending time outside helps your child breathe deeply and be better regulated.

Nature reduces overwhelm and eases tension. It will bring your child to a calm peaceful state. One of the great benefits of being out in nature is that it also gives your child time away from screens, and makes it possible for them to intimately reconnect with themselves.

Join me in this episode as I talk about the Foundational senses, outdoor activities that strengthen these senses, and how you can create an outdoor play area in your own backyard with toys that you curate that will interest your child and encourage them to spend hours in play outside.

Welcome back to Unscripted Parent Coaching Sessions With Chinyelu!

In this episode, we revisit a mom I coached in the January 21st episode, where she shared how her daughter’s whining and lack of sleep were wearing her down.

We explore ways to support her daughter so that she can begin to play more independently.

Why Conscious Parenting Matters May 01, 2023

Parenting wakes us up, sometimes in jarring ways especially when we begin to be more aware of our actions and behavior. In fact, it can sometimes be a surprise to us. It can be frustrating, scary, confusing and leave us feeling helpless. When we become conscious of our behavior, our words and actions we see that we actually have a choice, we can choose to raise our consciousness and live in alignment with the person we’re striving to become. Being conscious brings us closer to making the changes that we want to see in ourselves.

In this episode, I dive into talking about 10 ways you can parent with greater consciousness. The 10 ways I focus on are;

Becoming conscious of your behavior, words, actions, and gestures.
Working on self-development.
Working on your personal challenges and triggers.
Modeling behavior you want to see in your child.
Creating healthy home rhythms.
Slowing down and simplifying daily routines.
Communicating clearly and limiting choices
Being intentional with your words & limiting adult information
Listening with interest
Having Compassion and Empathy for your child’s big feelings

There’s a lot that I cover in this episode, including where I describe a foundation that’s needed for the young child’s healthy development.

I hope you’ll join me!
