  • 16: If Your HSC Hates Haircuts... You'll Want to Hear This

They’re itchy and they can’t take it. Their meltdown may have been traumatizing for you AND them, and the hairdresser. And I understand why you’d go to great lengths to avoid that from happening again, which is why you are the one cutting your kid's hair.

  • 15: Survival Mode Parenting

    In this episode, I discuss how 2020 was whirlwind of intense emotions, loss, grief and disruption, and how many parents struggled with helping their children respond to the fear around them.

    ... But this a fear based process. You cannot stop fear-based meltdowns with fear-based parenting.
