Do you ever find yourself arguing with your child over a plate that's been left where it shouldn't be left? You've asked them countless times to put the plate in the dishwasher only to find it still on the coffee table! Said plate can often cause more disconnection than the act of taking the plate to the dishwasher yourself is worth. But what do you do? Where do you draw the line? Tune in...

What is attitude anyway? The OED definition is “a settled way of thinking about someone or something”. So, with this in mind, what is your settled way of thinking about your teenager? And is this way of thinking a) fair, b) 100% accurate and c) going to facilitate a deep and connected relationship or not? In this episode, I ask you to consider substituting or reframing your thinking about attitude for the better. Tune in…

In the episode today, I discuss this information around a wonderful poster I saw by M.Oduenyi from @thepeacefulblackmama

This is a question I often get asked so today I decided to discuss this and more. The experts on this would lead us to believe that we are priming our kids for a lifelong addiction, or the systems that we allow our kids to immerse themselves in, are doing just this. Curious? You need to be! Tune in…

It is my belief that kids need to learn to contribute to the smooth running of the home and it is through doing chores that they can get the opportunity to do this. It is only through doing chores that they will learn the skills required to be independent, and to becoming contributing members of a team and society. This episode was inspired by a mom who wrote to me regarding her daughter’s laundry doing skills! Tune in…

The most valuable and useful work I have ever done, and will continue to commit to doing, towards making me a less reactive parent, has been the work of Dr. Shefali. It is hands down the most transformative work I have ever done and that which has had the most positive and profound effect on me as a mother. In the episode today, I share the poem from the start of her ahhhhmaze-zing new book, “A Radical Awakening”. If you have not read it, I recommend you do and for all the dads reading this, if you have a significant female parenting partner in your life, this would make the perfect gift! “There comes a time in the life of a woman………..” Tune in!

If you are familiar with my work, you know that I am a huge advocate of parents being able to, somehow, dig deep, and view their kids through a more open, curious, compassionate, and empathetic lens versus a critical, judgmental and blaming one. It is hard when we are faced with the annoying teen behaviors we do not love but I firmly believe that we have to find a way to do this and in so doing, help our teens navigate life with less pressure and gain a greater sense of worthiness and good-enoughness. In the show today, I read from a wonderful article published in Psychology Today by Steve Grover LCSW. You can find the link to the article here:

Many parents are unaware of the fact that praise robs their kids of the very thing they are so desperate for their kids to have... a healthy self-esteem. The bottom line is this: Praise is not what kids need. They need something else. If you are curious to find out what it is, tune in and all will be revealed.
