Have you ever wondered why certain parenting advice doesn't seem to work for you?

Manifesting the Relationship You Want

As a parent, I have come to understand the significance of positivity and self-belief. In today's world of parenting, it is crucial to reshape our relationships with our children. Instead of labeling them as "difficult," we should view their behaviors as a sign of struggle and support them accordingly. By fostering strong connection with our kids, we can bring a positive change in family dynamics and have a profound impact on our children's lives.Enjoy today’s episode?

Why I Don’t Correct My Kids

Today I want to challenge some long-standing parenting beliefs, specifically the idea of correction and why the conventional methods of correcting our kids might not be as effective as we think. Children already know when they've made a mistake and our role as parents should be to connect and empathize rather than correct. I encourage you to try a ten-day challenge where you put aside correction and focus on nurturing your parent-child relationships through empathy, play, and affection. I truly believe it’s a journey worth exploring.Join my new Connected Parent Mastermind designed for parents who want to strengthen their connection with their children, experience more love, and reduce frustration.

Unpunished: Understanding Your Parenting Instincts

As parents, we often encounter difficulties when our children bring up unresolved emotions and behaviors from our own upbringing. It is essential to be aware of these emotions and reprogram our natural parenting instincts so that we can respond with love, kindness, and understanding instead of anger and punishment. Today, I would like to share an excerpt from my book, "Unpunished," along with some useful journaling prompts that can help us explore our own history and emotions as parents. By doing so, we can gain a deeper understanding of our reactions to our children's behavior and improve our parenting skills.Enjoy today’s episode?

Understanding Your Child's Temperament

As parents, we often encounter kids with two distinct temperaments. The first type values their authenticity and won't betray themselves, even if it means risking their relationship with their guardian. The second type of child remains loyal to their caretaker and will do anything to comply with their wishes, often leading to a lack of personal growth. Rather than resorting to control to bring these kids to a middle ground, we can help them find balance by using connection and unconditional love.Enjoy today’s episode?
