This episode is a few firsts! First video podcast! First live interview no editing! First coaching call to share!

As you may know, Parent Time is about coaching. This will show you what that means. Coaching isn't about me giving someone answers, it's about the conversation between two individuals where we figure out what the underlying issues are and how to approach the issue at hand in a sustainable way.

In this episode, Julie W and I explore how to encourage her five year old to try things when she's not 100% comfortable, without pressuring or pushing her into something that doesn't feel safe to her. This could be particularly helpful for parents of children with "slow to warm" temperaments...the children who like to hang back and check out a situation before jumping in. Often these children are the ones we end up pushing and pressuring, so I'm excited for you all to hear about how we approach this question. If you'd like to be on the pod and have your own mini session, you can DM me on IG or send me an email anytime!
