In this episode, I respond to worrisome scenarios presented by moms regarding the 2021 school year. There’s a lot of examples of how to help your kids during this trying time and how to handle the hard conversations that will build resilience and ultimately, set our kids up for success. I also briefly reference an article I wrote about helping kids to responsibly “mask up”: https://medium.com/@info_36262/how-to-help-kids-mask-up-877b1007d707 Join our Free Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/mastermindparenting Thanks for listening!

In this episode, I talk about the mindset that will help you begin the school year from a place of self awareness and pack leadership. Our kids are going back to school and the last year and a half has been hard and stressful for all of us. I included a coaching clip where I model how to gain more self awareness in a practical and fun way. I’m here for and with you during this crazy time. I believe in you.   Join our Free Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/mastermindparenting Thanks for listening! Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!

Seth and I had a candid convo about life before he was “drinking the Mastermind Parenting koolaid” and what actually helped him and his wife, Sarah, begin to parent on the same page. We talked about what got him to buy into the process and truly become part of the solution rather than accidentally adding to the tension in the family. We cover male privilege, explosive moments and how to support your partner when he/she is dysregulated and more!   Join our Free Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/mastermindparenting Thanks for listening!

In this episode I told a bunch of true stories to really explore the concept of emotional dysregulation and how it informs “less than awesome” adult behavior. As we continue with the summer of balance series, it’s important to explore adult behavior and whether you and your partner are modeling the behavior you are expecting of your kids. It can be very difficult to look honestly at yourself, check in and get curious about your own patterns. Yes, this adulting thing is hard! Many of us avoid taking an honest look at ourselves AND asking whether we are setting the wrong example for kids.  Join our Free Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/mastermindparenting Thanks for listening!

In this episode, I discuss how often our strong willed kids show up in ways that are problematic and when the most immediate issues are resolved, sometimes the deeper issues fall through the cracks.  On this episode, you’ll hear from a mom whose son was being bullied at school. I describe how this mom was able to help her son develop a critical “lagging skill” by becoming curious and going beyond the surface situation. When we look deeper,  we can begin to help our kids gain new skills and ultimately feel more balanced in their bodies. When we can get to the root of the problem instead of focusing on only the superficial issue, we can then begin successfully supporting our kids.  Join our Free Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/mastermindparenting Thanks for listening!

In this bonus episode, I’m including a coaching clip where a mom was dealing with an explosive situation involving her son and virtual school. You’ll hear from Amanda, a Mastermind Parenting Coach who is also a seasoned Occupational Therapist. I call Amanda, “The Kid Whisperer”, because she has a magical way of really uncovering the root of the explosive behavior and shares practical tips to help our most challenging kiddos. You will love her and her guidance. Enjoy! Join our Free Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/mastermindparenting Thanks for listening! Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!

In this bonus episode on the podcast, I respond to a mom who’s 6 year old son becomes explosive when it’s time to leave the park or stop playing legos or come to dinner. Transitions can be really hard for kids. And when they are doing something they are enjoying, it often becomes intensive and even violent. I coach this mom on getting to the root of the unbalanced behavior and what to do to support her little guy in learning better self regulation skills to improve this stressful issue for better balance in his body and their relationship.

In this bonus episode, I give you an unexpected assignment. I want you to watch more t.v. with your kids. I realize this sounds kinda ridiculous. Who said connecting more with your kids can’t be unexpected and non-traditional...AND fun! I love my “t.v.make believe” friends. This is fun. We are allowed to have fun because guess what? WE are the grown ups now. We deserve to have some fun. Dontcha think?  Join our Free Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/mastermindparenting Thanks for listening!
