We say hate a lot – I hate this weather, spiders, and this and that.
YET, we don’t like when kids say ‘HATE’ when they are disappointed, angry, raging or worried. If someone tells you I hate you, you either know very well what you have done to deserve this or you go, why? What did I do?
And now
Imagine if now as a grown-up you would say to someone I hate you and that person tells you – oh we don’t know that word, we don’t use that word, that’s not nice……
I would go what the fudge are you are talking about. Why you’re treating me like a little kid? It would be completely ridiculous.
Or you say to your friend oh I hate when my coffee gets cold, and she goes, you’re not allowed to say that. Just imagine that.
Let’s Don’t dismiss kids’ feelings just because they are children.
They need to learn all about emotions and feelings, we want them to be emotionally intelligent so we must let them express themselves. They need to learn there are more feelings and reactions than HATE. Telling them you are strong, independent and beautiful is not enough.

If you’re looking for an answer to the question of what is common sense parenting, then you’re in the right place. Common sense parenting doesn’t focus on specific rules or styles. It’s you who is creating it. It’s making you stop, and think without overthinking. Common sense parenting helps you to trust yourself and reconnect with your values and beliefs. These two create the foundation of your parenting and who you are as a parent. Common sense parenting is right now focusing more on myself first because deep down I know what is right or wrong.

Do you love or hate cleaning? Are you avoiding it or just doing it? What is your relationship with cleaning? Are you like me doing it mainly out of guilt and shame? In this episode, I share how my cleaning habits were born, creating the cleaning game to please my parents and how I created the snowball of cleaning out of shame and guilt. Let’s get ready for the spring cleaning!

I had the absolute pleasure of talking to Brent about his new book Opposititis: A Ridiculous Family Love Story, the importance and power of bedtime stories, creating fun bedtimes, not calling children ‘shy’, blended family and even what is like to swim in PJ’s.
Try the power of bedtime stories with Brent: I’d bet you’ve never heard of OPPOSITITIS. In Opposititis: A Ridiculous Family Love Story, one dad does things very differently from other parents; he does everything opposite. He serves breakfast for dinner every night, wears tuxedos in the pool, and calls pets with a banana phone – until his daughter gets to know someone special who changes things for their family.
Brent Crandal, PhD is an author, family psychologist, and researcher.

Making this video podcast live makes my stomach turn around. I was feeling down after having a very good day, I didn’t want to do any recording but here I am. My husband pushed me to film a video, and he said to me: say some inspiring s*it. He gave me two minutes to get ready and I look like I took 50 seconds It wasn’t easy to film this. It wasn’t easy to get ready in two minutes. 2023 wasn’t easy. But here I am.

I thought I knew something about Feng Shui, but I was wrong. I’m so glad that Patricia came to the podcast and explained the basics of Feng Shui and how to start with it. Since our chat, I cleared up the attic, donated a lot of stuff, and had a pile of toys to sell. My husband and I committed to keeping floors in our outside rooms (toilet and washroom) clear. And so far so good. I can’t wait to learn more about Feng Shui.

I feel like toddlers and teenagers are sometimes very similar and there are reasons why. In this week’s episode, I talk about why I don’t use ‘terrible twos’ and make excuses ‘She’s just a teenager’. I found a way to talk to them calmly (99% of the time), and respectfully while having my boundaries in place.

It took me days, weeks or months to have a difficult conversation. It was ridiculous! Here is one of my favourite tools on how to start talking.

Argue and communicate better series is here! In each episode of this series, I’ll talk about relationship advice we get and hear, why they don’t work, and what communication tool I would use.
There is a massive difference between the silence treatment and ‘I can’t talk to you right now.
