Ever find yourself feeling stuck when your child’s behavior feels challenging?

In this short episode of the Sustainable Parenting weekly podcast, Dr. John Sommers-Flanagan — a clinical psychologist and professor of counseling at the University of Montana — shares three gentle parenting tools designed to bring more calm, confidence, and connection into everyday parenting. Together, we explore how self-awareness, curiosity, and radical acceptance can strengthen parent-child connection, ease anxiety & emotions, and help create smoother, more positive interactions with your child.

After listening, you’ll discover:

• How the phrase, “Get Curious, Not Furious” can transform tricky moments and stop power struggles with kids

• How self-awareness supports more thoughtful choices for calm, confident parenting

• Positive parenting strategies for responding with care instead of reacting with frustration

• Ways to set boundaries using kind and firm parenting and gentle discipline

• How calm parenting tips and curiosity can help you stop tantrums and build trust

• Simple practices for raising confident kids and celebrating progress every day
