Authentic Parenting

It was the 1950’s, The Netherlands and people didn’t know much about Autism. Born 18 months earlier than her, Carl's sister was severely autistic. She never spoke a word. For the first 3 years of her life she cried a lot. It was very difficult for her parents in many ways. Sometimes they couldn’t even to find love for her. Carla’s parents wanted her to be “normal’ and that meant not showing emotions, not getting angry, meeting their high expectations, being the best and not wanting much. They also criticised her a lot. From an early age Carla was told that her sister was “unhappy child”.   Highlights: -a beautiful memory that made me tear up -how our past shapes who we become -why love is not enough to be a good parent -how parental trauma can block the flow of love for their children -she was not allowed to be angry or complain -how she felt guilty for being “normal” -why she chose NVC FOR FULL SHOW NOTES click here.

We do everything with or on our smartphones (well, almost everything). Just think about how you use your phone daily? We are starting to realize that some boundaries need to be placed, some parameters established in order to remain sane in this crazy accelerated digital age.

This is the final episode of the 2017. I don't know about you but I feel like the time is really flying by. It seems like it was just yesterday when I was recording the final episode of the 2016, which is by the way the least downloaded episode of the podcast:) In preparation for this episode I went back and listened to it. It’s a really good one. In it I compiled all of my guests wisdom, their answers to “If you had to go back in time, knowing what you know about motherhood/fatherhood, what would you say to yourself as a new mom/dad?”question. I'm sitting today in December and recording this message I feel like I am always behind 1 or 2 months behind of the calendar year. Okay, looking back   What did the 2017 bring for me and how it was for the podcast?   Growth I had many amazing guests. The podcast has grown. I have grown. The number of listeners have grown. And growth is a good thing. I have changed the cover art for the podcast and I can't be happier. In fact, I have a mug with the logo right now on my table with my tea. Makes me happy everytime I look at it. I have started working with my sound engineer, the editor who puts this show together and provides an amazing listening experience for you. Great sound is everything. This year, I have connected with my listeners got to know you better. We reached a big milestone in the podcasting world-100 episodes.   I have grown in many ways too. This podcast enriches my life in a very impactful way. So thank you for being part of this wonderful community. What I have learned:   Vulnerability connects people. Every human being deep inside wants to be feel loved, connected and when they open up and share vulnerability beautiful things happen. What I have learned about myself. I have learned that I have a genuine interest in people and when you show genuine interest in a person they show up, they share more openly, vulnerably and authentically. I learned that I ask good questions. I listen and I have a genuine interest in any human being. I learned to let go of perfection and accept what is.   People ask me if I have a favorite episode. That’s a tough one because they are all special and meaningful. But if i had to choose it would be the 100th episode. After every episode, I always feel like,”That was the best one”. What are your favorite episodes? Let’s take a look at the stats. Top 15 most downloaded Episodes So, do you want to know the top 15 most downloaded episodes are? Please go back and listen to those and don’t forget to pay attention to the episodes that didn’t make the top 15 list. I will share a highlight or two about each episode Plus, if you are a regular listener then you probably already listened to them, if you are a new listener check them out, I guess there is a reason they are ranking high in downloads:) The Father’s day show. What I’ve Learned from Being a Dad: 10 Honest Stories, Beautiful Reflections and Powerful Insights How To Control Your Anger with Kids with Avital,aka The Parenting Junkie How To Be a More Conscious Parent by Changing The Way You Speak with Lori Petro How To Stop Yelling with Carla Naumburg, PhD Childhood Trauma: Reclaiming Your Authentic Self with Guy Macpherson, PhD The Benefits of Negative Emotions with Hunter Clarke-Fields Why Kids Misbehave (MSE) Are You Stuck in The Past? with Cynthia E.

I do usually take things away from every episode but there are two shows that truly made a huge difference in my life. I would also say that please don’t judge the episode by its title. Sometimes, most often it’s hard to summarize the entire content of the interview in a few word title that is catchy, and SEO friendly:) There is so much goodness in each episode. I usually pick one aspect of the conversation and base my title on that. So this is why browsing the collections is so helpful.   Join the community. Share your takeaways, ask questions, connect with other listeners, offer feedback, suggest a guest…Besides, I have created that group for one main reason. To provide support to moms and dads like you. I strongly believe that social and emotional support is vital for parents. I am a parent too! And I also believe no one should be denied access to quality information, and support. I have strong values and I do not like posting for the sake of posting and inauthentically trying to”engage” my audience. I offer specific things that I think are helpful and provide most value. Get in touch. I absolutely love hearing from you. It enriches my life. Don’t feel like I am some kind of celebrity, just because I am behind the mic, it doesn’t mean I am a special individual. I’m regular person just like you and if you want to talk to me, just do it! Email, call, FB messenger. Parenting questions. Send me your questions. If you have parenting questions chances are other parents deal with the same issues too. I would do my best to answer. Write a review for the show. Seriously. It really does make a difference.

I don’t know about you but I am a big review reader when it comes to making online decisions or purchases or subscribing to shows. Share with 3 people.

A lot goes into producing and bringing this show to every single week. I’d be honest there are days that I feel really down. It may seem so smooth and seamless but it does take a lot of time, effort, planning and work! Finding guests, screening them, doing pre-interviews often, going back and forth to set a recording date. I do this months in advance. I always think about the podcast. In fact I have planned the entire 2018. Because I care about the show and I always have you, my listener in mind. There are monetary costs too. To name a couple, I pay monthly fee to a hosting company to host my audio files, I pay my amazing editor to provide high quality audio sound and experience for you….

Are you caught up in the frenzy of day to day modern life? Are you busy, rushed, hurried and lacking time? How much time do you spend with your kids? How much time do your children spend away from you? As the year 2017 is coming to an end, I invite you to rethink your priorities. This is a good time to pause and set new intentions for the coming year. How do you want to spend your days? Where does your attention go? We move through scenes like ghosts, without fully experiencing the moments and the events. We are rushing from place to place, constantly doing something... Children are overbooked and over scheduled. But the truth of the matter is we need to rethink our priorities, we need to change our lifestyle, we need to slow down, we need to have ample time for for children to play freely. We need to provide time and space for our children to decompress, experience downtime and just be bored.  Bored is the gateway to creativity. Not only our children do not have time and space to be bored but they not have time for daydreaming, processing what has happened to them during the day. Highlights: -how to recognize our relational patterns and triggers -we heal together -fighting with your partner is not a bad thing -the importance of repair after a fight -how to help children in transitions times -why we need to slow down -why is play so vital -what is slipping away from our lives -the importance of doing nothing, having downtie -boredom is not a bad thing Also, my wonderful guest walks us through a simple sensory awareness exercise.

Description This is our monthly special episode where I co-host the show with another colleague.

Answering listener parenting questions Favorite Finds ---------------- In the first segment I tell a story that happens very commonly in many households. My daughter one morning before going to school stated that she didn’t have shoes. How did I answer? Did I avoid power struggles successfully, was I able to listen and validate? Listen to find out. The same day I received a call from a client who said that his son woke up and said, “I do not want to go to school…” Sound familiar? Laura has two daughters: a 2,5 year old one and a 5 year old one. She shares a sibling rivalry story.   For this month Laura Froyen, PhD takes the mystery seat.   About My Co-host Questions we received this month: A mom is frustrated with food related issue. She has strong triggers around wasting food. How to handle a situation where a child (3.5) asks for a specific food, is given the food, and then doesn’t eat it? A single mom who works from home has a hard time managing her time and her toddler.   Resources and links: Laura’s website Laura’s Facebook page Anna’s book recommendation.
