  • What to Do With Those Big Emotions?
    2023/07/25

    Let’s just say it out loud. Big emotions from kids are hard. HARD. Your toddler falling to the floor in the middle of a store is HARD. Your kindergartner running away from you and screaming because they don’t want to wear their shoes at the park is HARD. Your teenager stomping down the hallway, shaking the windows with the force of their stomps, is HARD.

    Can we all agree? It’s not fun. It’s not easy. It rattles our nervous systems. It shakes us. It frustrates us. And all of that is normal.

    Learn four things to know and do to make big emotions easier for you and your kiddos to handle.

  • Episode 38: How Will They Ever Learn?

  • Episode 33: An Example: Controlling Parenting to Connected Parenting
    2021/12/17

    This episode shares a real-life example of what I think connected parenting can look like. I often think it’s helpful to understand a concept when you can contrast it with something else. In this example, I show how my husband and I first parented in the more traditional way -- with threats and punishments and consequences -- and then how we switched back to connected parenting. In the end, I hope you will feel empowered.
