– The Whinypaluza Podcast with Rebecca Greene Episode 168 Your Parenting Long Game: Summertime Tips with Rachel Bailey

Rachel Bailey is a Parenting Specialist who has been serving families for over a decade. Besides being a mother of two, she also has a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology, a certification in Positive Discipline, and has provided services as an ADHD Coach, in-home mentor, and therapist. Currently Rachel teaches parents hands-on tools for raising responsible, resilient, confident children and helping parents find the time and energy to incorporate these tools into their lives.

Listen to this inspiring Whinypaluza episode with Rachel Baily about the parenting long game, and the particular challenges of summer, when we are spending so much more time together.

Here is what to expect on this week’s show:

Structure is still important in summertime. Don’t overschedule, but keep structure in place.

Know how to handle boredom. Kids need stimulation, and often resort to negative ways if not guided.

Variations in everyday activities will keep things interesting. Set a challenge or direction for activities.

Counteracting fights and arguments amongst siblings- give them an outlet to discuss their feelings in a “yuck dump,” and give them a plan to address it.

Making time for personal care and personal time needs to be part of your structure. Predictability means less pushback. Consistency is your best tool.

It is ok to break routine on occasion, but make sure to keep consistent most of the time.

Tips on surviving family vacations- set realistic expectations, think about what your child needs to feel and behave their best when away from home.

Tips for working through your child’s big emotions. Regulation is key.

Strengthen their neural pathways by encouraging them to be more flexible in their thinking.

Using Fortunately/ Unfortunately scenarios in storytelling to help the build flexible thinking.

What can you do NOW to help make a smoother back to school transition?
