Emotionally Intelligent Parenting with Stephanie Pinto

In this episode, I explore tantrums and meltdowns (are there the nuanced differences we need to know?) and uncover the secrets behind our children's stressful, dysregulated behaviours. Join me as we delve into the topic, touching briefly on the realms of neuroscience and child development research, and gaining insights into the true nature of those heated moments. I'll share practical tips for navigating challenging interactions with confidence, warmth, empathy, strength, and emotional intelligence. Let's journey together to understand our children's emotions better and cultivate a more harmonious parent-child relationship.If you want more info on my brand new program EVOLVE - head to www.stephaniepinto.com/evolve We are filling up fast, this is an exclusive group of like-minded parents and I don't want you to miss out!Enjoy!

Get ready for a heart-to-heart on parenting in this episode. You know I love tackling the everyday challenges of raising little humans with a dose of humour and self-reflection. Well, today I'm shining the light on our parental habits that are somewhat... hypocritical (eek!). Ever caught yourself telling your child or teen to be patient while rushing them out the door? Telling them to communicate properly although you shut down or bottle feelings up? And sometimes we punish our kids' meltdowns whilst letting our own anger unleash (without repercussion I might add). It's a lot, right?! Join the conversation as I share thought-provoking reflections, three powerful self-coaching questions and a relatable story from a coaching client. Remember, it's not about being perfect—it's about growing together.Steph.***If this resonates with you, I'd love to hear from you.

Ever felt like your child is being utterly unreasonable? Their emotions take over and they start being completely ridiculous?Join me in this episode as I delve into the emotional rollercoaster of parenting. Drawing from personal experiences, I share two stories from my own home that shed light on handling those challenging moments. Discover why reacting with anger, yelling, or shame is counterproductive, and instead, learn the power of staying calm and dialling up your emotional intelligence. I emphasize the importance of recognizing that it's not the time for logic, and allowing your child to express their emotions without judgment. Tune in for valuable insights on navigating your child's emotional world with empathy and respect.Steph.***If this resonates with you, I'd love to hear from you.

In this episode I dive a bit deeper into the world of Emotional Intelligence, and why it encompasses so much more than you think.It's not only empathy, it's not simply understanding feelings, but in fact, 26 individual competencies make EI what it truly is. Clear communication, self-awareness, resilience, integrity, teamwork, and more. It's fascinating!So in this mini masterclass, I'll walk you through the deeper layers of EI, what it looks like to have strong EI and lack EI, the difference between "EI" and "EQ" and of course what those specific 26 skill areas are.Get ready for some juicy Emotional Intelligence work with me!Steph.***If this resonates with you, I'd love to hear from you.

A Punishment-Free Home With Emotional Intelligence - Ooh, is it possible??I posted a 10-second reel on my Instagram recently about this, and it's just hit 733k views. So this was a big one that resonated with a LOT of people (for good and bad reasons).I'll post the link to the reel below so you can check it out, but I describe it in this episode and break down some of the messages behind emotionally intelligent parenting, punishment-free home, discipline, and more. I also speak about the brilliant work and research into parenting and emotional intelligence, that's come from the Gottman Institute. Their work is exceptional and so validating to this style of parenting.Find the reel I refer to here: https://www.instagram.com/p/C1BUD4pSLmt/I'm on Instagram as @emotionally.intelligent.parent and the reel was posted on 19 December 2023.Also I mentioned Dan Franco's podcast and Insta, find him at @adadliftingdads Don't forget to also check out the Gottman Institue at www.gottman.comTo enquire about coaching or book me for a speaking engagement or presentation, contact hello@stephaniepinto.comSteph.***If this resonates with you, I'd love to hear from you.

So your husband's doing it all wrong? (Sorry, couldn't help it!!) Having different approaches at home can be hard. But I'm about to shift your perspective in a big way.In this episode, I share about the challenges and frustrations of parenting with emotional intelligence when your co-parent isn't on board. Perhaps they parent differently or are actively going against your method. Who's right? How do we get them to see our way? Is that even fair?The powerful quote I mentioned in the episode is from Dr Dona Matthews. She's a wonderful author, developmental psychologist and speaker, find her work at www.donamatthews.comI'd love to hear your thoughts. Are you and your co-parent struggling or finding a balance?

How do you feel about your kids watching YouTube? If you're unsure and really don't know whether it's safe or good quality viewing for them, then you need to listen to this episode! If you're also really concerned about YouTube and the content your kids are watching, but don't feel confident removing it from your home, and how to speak to your kids about it, then this really is a must-listen.I am certainly not advocating for every family to ban YouTube from their family - you may feel comfortable with it and that's OKAY too! I do however share some interesting (well, somewhat concerning) insights into what's underneath the content our kids are viewing and why we decided to remove it from our home. I also go into detail about how our kids reacted, and how we dealt with their emotions. It's been 2 weeks and we've not had a single complaint/beg/meltdown over it.Steph.***If this resonates with you, I'd love to hear from you.

Okay, proud mum (and parent coach) moment!Let me share a story with you about how we VERY nearly had a Christmas meltdown when packing away the tree with our youngest. Emotional Intelligence and communication skills are an UNSTOPPABLE combo, trust me. These two skills have genuinely saved my bacon countless times, and my kids and I are better for it. (And actually so is my marriage!)We aren't perfect but we have speed bumps as opposed to car crashes throughout our days. And some days we even have no bumps. I don't say this to say "Look how easy parenting is" because, no. We work hard at it. We've learnt a LOT. We continue to learn and grow. But I can hand-on-heart say our home is so much calmer and such a nicer place to be now that we parent with emotional intelligence.Home is our haven. And I want that for you. Enjoy this episode, and please take away something from it that helps you - and if you can let me know I'd love that too!

Ok this is a heart-strings pulling kind of conversation. Many of us don't have a TONNE of memories from our childhood, and some of us feel like we've forgotten 95% of it.But you know what? You'll still know - if you think about it - what you wish you did or didn't have to experience. And guess what, that's very likely exactly what your kids want to be hearing from you right now. Amazing right? Why do we overthink it?!I share a number of messages that people in my Facebook community (Let's Raise Emotionally Intelligent Kids) put down as the things they wish they heard. And I show you the top 2 most common phrases parents didn't hear enough (one really surprised me and now I've added it to my vocab for good).Enjoy!***If this resonates with you, I'd love to hear from you.
