Research is showing that the symptoms of too much screen time on a child's brain are very, very similar to those of ADHD. If a screen detox is proving to significantly relieve such symptoms, perhaps children with ADHD would respond well to it too? There is one well-known Child Psychiatrist who will not test a kid for ADHD until the kid has undergone a screen detox. When I read this, I thought WOW - that's super interesting! Tune in...

In this episode I refer to a book called "Reset Your Child's Brain" by Victoria Dunckley PH.D. You can find a copy of it here:

We all hope that our kids will be "good sports" and acquire all the skills required to BE this person! What do they need to be able to do this? And how can we make sure they will be good sports? Our actions and conversations, on and off the field, influence our kids more than we could ever believe and role modelling this to our kids is so very important. Tune in...

How much is enough? How much is too much? Those are the million dollar questions and ones to which there is no one answer! I always like to look at screen time not so much as time spent on screens but as time lost to real time because framing it this way helps me see when enough is enough and when a limit needs to be set. Tune in as I discuss this and more and one super interesting fact about what happens when kids go on a 4 week screen-fast...

Do you expect your child to meet your needs? Do you think your child can meet your needs? Is it fair to presume that your child should meet your needs? Who can meet your needs? Interesting questions huh! When we "expect" or think that someone else can meet our needs, we always run the risk of those needs not being met. Let me explain. Last Saturday I desperately needed my daughter to "meet" my needs but had she met my needs, she wouldn't have met her own! What did I do? Tune in and tap into one of the biggest lessons we need to learn as moms, parents, human beings: Only you can meet your own needs. My daughter knows this and I know it too but it can be so hard to put into practice...

Being Mindful to watch each moment unfold with no judgment but with openness, curiosity and kindness is amazing but if we are not first aware of our minds and when we are in thought, we will deny ourselves the very presence we are trying to attain before we are even out the gate. In this episode I discuss this and more, for there is always more! Tune in...

Do you have a "controlling" or "strong-willed" or "defiant" child? Have you ever asked yourself why your child might be exhibiting this behavior? There is always an unmet need beneath every behavior and in this episode, I share with you the unmet need beneath control and what steps you can take to dealing with it. If you have a controlling child then this is for you - these patterns can be broken but it all starts with you. Tune in...

A couple of months ago I recorded episode # 211 on The Parenting In The Thick Of It Show titled: “Helicopter Or Parachute Parent?” which was sparked by this quote: “I think that instead of helicoptering our kids, we should be strapping some parachutes on their backs made out of things like common sense, kindness and courage. Then I think we should teach them to jump.” by Julie Lythcott-Haims.

Suffice to say that it has been one of my most downloaded episodes, so… what better way to give you more of what you want than to interview the author of the quote! In this interview, New York Times bestselling author of "How To Raise An Adult", Julie Lythcott-Haims gives you so much actionable advice to help you break free of the over-parenting trap (one which we all fall into - myself included) and prepare your kid for success. It's packed full of stories, wisdom and learning and is not to be missed. Tune in...

This episode was sparked by an article I read on the correlation between irregular bedtime routines and behavior challenges which was based on a study of 10,000 kids, aged 3 - 7 years-old, and published in the journal of Pediatrics. The results were quite fascinating and it would appear that having bedtimes that are all over the map do not bode well for children. Tune in...
