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?

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.

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?

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?

I was deeply hurt by two mothers when I was young, my biological mother who left when I was twelve, and my stepmother who came into the picture shortly after. Both of these mother wounds shaped the way I began my parenting journey and set me on a path that would have been similar for my children. But it was this that led me to find connected parenting and I was able to change the way I parent and in turn, limit the mother wounds for my kids. If we want to prevent these mother wounds then we have to do the deep transformative work in our parenting.Enjoy today’s episode?

I understand that learning empathy can be a challenging journey, especially if it's not something that was modeled for us in our own upbringing. However, I've learned that empathy is a crucial component of creating a strong connection with our children. That means being present with them, especially during times of big emotions, listening with an open heart, and truly hearing what they have to say. If we can do that, we have the power to turn those moments into opportunities for connection, and that can make all the difference.Join my new Connected Parent Mastermind designed for parents who want to strengthen their connection with their children, experience more love, and reduce frustration.

When a child starts hitting, kicking, or becoming aggressive, our initial reaction is often to punish them. However, punishing a child by sending them to time out, taking away their favorite activity, or grounding them for a weekend, does not effectively teach them right from wrong. I believe that no punishment can teach them because they already know what they did was wrong.What’s going on in these circumstances is that their prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain responsible for reasoning, is not fully developed yet, making it difficult for them to make sound decisions, which happens as adults too. Today I’ll share with you what you can do when aggressive behavior shows up in your kids.Enjoy today’s episode?

The impact of standardized testing on the learning experience is quite significant. Teachers are under an immense amount of pressure to produce results since funding is often linked to test scores. This puts them in a difficult spot, as they strive to educate their students while also trying to achieve good grades on tests. Unfortunately, this emphasis on test scores and the curriculum has led to a disconnect between educators and their students. Our education system is mainly focused on performance, but this approach may not be the most effective way to promote learning. If we prioritize building relationships and fostering connections, we may be able to give our students a better chance at academic success.Enjoy today’s episode?

It's important to be mindful of how we handle disagreements in front of our kids. Engaging in arguments that involve belittlement, shaming, yelling, or even throwing things can cause anxiety and even aggression in our children. Moreover, they may mimic these behaviors in future arguments because that’s what they were modeled.On the other hand, by demonstrating how to remain calm and composed during an argument, we can teach our kids valuable life skills. Fighting in a healthy way can teach them valuable life skills and positive conflict resolution.Enjoy today’s episode?
