children with big emotions

Sometimes people assume that because I teach parenting strategies for a living, I’m always parenting the way I want to. I actually think that assumption is dangerous, so I wanted to offer just a few of my parenting regrets... some of which you may be able to relate to! 

 In this episode, I’ll share: 

• Some of my personal parenting fails 

• How I handle those fails – sometimes “successfully,” sometimes not

• What I do when I recognize that I’m not parenting the way I want to

There is almost nothing more upsetting than when a child acts disrespectful. And of course when our kids talk back, roll their eyes at us, or ignore us…we don’t always respond effectively. How can we learn to understand children’s disrespect so that we can give them the coping skills they need to act more maturely? 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Two simple reasons children are often disrespectful to their parents, even when they know they shouldn't be 

• How to respond in the moment to behavior that is rude or dismissive  

• How to increase your influence so your child NATURALLY respects you
