Want to make this holiday season feel more meaningful and less stressful?

In this short episode of our weekly podcast, I’m sharing gentle parenting and positive parenting strategies to help prevent entitlement and appreciate what they have. You’ll hear calm parenting tips and tools for creating a holiday season which builds a stronger parent-child connection, reduces anxiety & emotions, and encourages generosity—without yelling or constant power struggles.

We’ll talk about:

• How getting kids involved in chores and responsibilities can stop power struggles with kids and foster teamwork.

• Why the “less is more” approach can inspire gratitude, reduce stress, and spark creativity.

• How donating toys teaches empathy and kindness, supports sustainable parenting practices in raising confident kids.

🎧Tune in if you’re ready to approach the holidays with calm confident parenting. This episode offers practical ways to bring more joy, balance, and connection into your celebrations using kind and firm parenting and gentle discipline—making this season lighter, more intentional, and more fun for your whole family.
