Parents know, letting fear stop us can really hold us back in life. We can each think of a time in childhood we wish we had overcome, or overcome the fear sooner and stepped into being more brave. Being brave doesn't mean we aren't afraid. Being brave means we feel the fear and do it anyway. As adults we know the great benefits of pushing ourselves past our discomfort (even if we struggle sometimes too!) Kid fears often seem so minor to us now. But they are big for them. Regardless of age, how can help your child see past the fear to the benefits of trying and overcoming, toddlers to teens? Like everything, it looks a little different at each age. I cover some great tools for helping kids build their courage muscle. Because the more we use it, the stronger it gets!

Even though parenting goals are going to differ, most parent share the common goal to build and maintain a relationship with their child(ren) of trust, safety and connection. This means creating and maintaining the relationship in such a way that our kids want to come to us with their problems and struggles, that they feel safe with us to share their fears, their hurts, their goals and their dreams. We want them to see us as a place of refuge, a soft place to land, and a helpful and positive resource. In this episode, I discuss how to create this type of connection that will serve your kids and your connection for life.

Anger in parenting often feels so loaded & unacceptable. But every emotion has a purpose. Learning how to accept them, hear the message they are sending and then use them for the positive is what emotional competence is all about. In this episode I cover how we can learn to accept, tune in, process and use our anger as a parent for positive introspection, growth and as a catalyst to getting needs met that we may be ignoring. This also help us become better equipped to lead and guide our kids in working with their own anger and its messages.
