Ever wished you could yell less and connect more as a parent? Imagine transforming your daily parenting from constant conflict and frustration to a peaceful, confident experience. This is exactly what our guest Claire Cetti, a mother of four and parent coach, has accomplished. She’ll share her remarkable journey and practical strategies that helped her become the calm, effective parent she is today.

Claire introduces us to the CARES method, which stands for Catching ourselves, Acknowledging our emotions, Repairing ruptures, Empowering our children, and Setting boundaries. This innovative approach has helped her to break negative patterns and build a stronger relationship with her children. We dive into the significance of responding rather than reacting to our children's behaviors, being in a calm state before addressing issues, and prioritizing connection over being right.

The spotlight shifts to the importance of self-care in parenting and the art of owning up to our mistakes. We uncover how to sincerely apologize and make amends with our children, thus teaching them the power of forgiveness. Plus, Claire shares a unique stress management tool – a 'number line' to check-in with emotions and stress levels, which can be used with our children too! Self-understanding is crucial in our parenting journey. Join us as we explore these profound insights and more with Claire, a transformational mom with a wealth of wisdom to share. Tune in, learn, and transform your parenting journey too!
