Continuing in this end-of-year "big idea" line of thinking, one of our beloved Ninja Parenting Community members recently asked a huge, and great question: "How can I relax and enjoy our relationship more and not feel like I'm always on the edge of discipline mode or like I should have handled things differently [with my 3-year-old]?" Effectively she's asking: do I have to control my young child's behavior all the time, or is there anything else besides that? Today's episode is my response.

Hi friends! I am SO excited to share this conversation with teacher, coach, and entrepreneur Gary Marcus Judge. Gary and I met when he invited me onto his show, BeWell - here's the link https://youtu.be/FmgIuUrsaEs?si=hwBOQsYrCUogm-Qi -  to talk about "decision making from the heart."  That, I think, is where Gary's strength lies - in being along on the journey with others, inviting collaboration and sharing from his heart. I hope you enjoy my conversation with this genuine, warm, and helpful human being.  Here's the link to the video in YouTube.. https://youtu.be/BqrtRLbbxhs  You can find Gary at https://garymarcusjudge.com/en/  And you can find me at https://kaylockkolp.com..
