  • 78. 4 Reasons Punishments Aren't Really Working for Your HSC

    I'm declaring WAR on time-outs, removing tablets, sticker charts, etc. BUT NOT ON YOU as a parent...

    There’s a big difference between feeling trapped in trying to help your kid manage their big emotions, and simultaneously get your outcomes…

    ...and just plain not caring about whether your child feels feelings when they can’t get what they want, treat them like a dog on a choke collar, and justifying it.

    I KNOW that’s not you.

    I KNOW you love your child & you’ve tried all the things.

    That’s WHY YOU’RE HERE.

    So, let’s talk about why the “tricks,” “tactics” and “tools” aren’t working.

    But let’s leave the blame out of it. Because if you truly didn’t want what is best for your kid, and you truly didn’t give a damn, you wouldn’t be here...

  • 77. Are You Burnt Out from Trying to Stop the Meltdowns?

    Do you ever wish you could hang a sign on your head that says “Out of Order,”

    Just so everyone would leave you alone for five seconds?

    Every parent has this experience. 

    Between managing the household for multiple people,

    Keeping dinner on the table,

    Making sure everyone’s shoes has a pair,

    And trying to find the seconds in between to brush your own teeth,

    It’s easy to feel extremely burnt out after a while.

    Throw the meltdown cycle in there and you feel like you don’t even have a chance for peace.

    But I’m not going to sit here and just talk about how burnt out you are.

    That’s what most mommy bloggers do, and they never really get to the point…

    Other than reminding you to wash your hair and put on clean socks. 

    Which I am in favor of!

    But I’m even MORE interested in talking about what you can do to fix this problem.

  • 73. How Can I Help My Kid if They Keep Running Away from Me?

    Running away doesn't only look like your child making a break for the front door to hide behind the neighbor's house.

Listen in as I bust myths on suicide, mental health and developmentally appropriate behaviors for highly sensitive children.
