Parenting In The Thick Of It with Louise Clarke

Constantly having to wait for a teenager to get their acts together and be anywhere on time can be tough and enough to do our heads in. However, until you ask yourself these two questions “Whose problem is it?” and “Why is it still a problem?” you will most probably continue to wait! I always say that we cocreate the patterns that exist in our homes and never more so than in this situation. Let me explain…

If you are struggling with things and are in need of some parenting support, I’m here! I have two group coaching programs that I run, a 6-week one (once a week) that starts whenever you are ready to start and an 8-week one (twice a week) that only runs three times a year.

I have a couple of sweet deals on them right now.

For the 8-week program, if you share a podcast episode poster from my Instagram feed (louiseclarke.ypp) on your story, and tag me, you’ll be entered into a draw to win a FREE spot in the program and for the 6-week program, if you bring a friend, you will get 50% off the cost of the program, and if you bring two friends you will get yours for FREE! All you have to do is email me with your name and your friend’s names and I’ll take care of the rest.

Summertime: Screen time: Green time… if you are struggling to hold the limits around your kid’s device use and sick and tired of them lazing around the house doing nothing but scrolling on their phones, then tune in.

If you feel that your kids tune out to what you are “telling” them, then this is for you! When I got curious as to why they perhaps tuned out, then I knew what I had to do and you can too. Curious? Tune in…

It can be hard to remain positive in the face of negativity, but I believe there is a way to help our kids navigate their way out of this frame of mind. Knowing certain things about our negativity bias and developing the skill to be able to reframe things, use empathy + curiosity, we can help ease our kids from negativity into a better mindset.

I want to ask you this: Does you having expectations of your child mean that the expectation will play out? And how might you having this expectation impact your child? And what happens when this expectation doesn’t come to fruition? Who suffers? This is a topic that I spend hours discussing with those who work with me, in both my one-on-one coaching and in my group coaching programs. If you are curious, I’d recommend you listen to this.

When we “give” something to someone, technically the object becomes theirs, right? So, with this in mind, what’s the deal when the gift is a phone? Does the phone become your child’s or is it yours? If it is theirs, what then is your role in managing it or trying to manage it? Tune in as I discuss this and the ramifications of it in more detail…

The ability to disagree respectfully and resolve conflict amicably are skills that don’t always come easily to us. In this episode, I discuss why I think this is, and what we can do to hone and refine our skills and in so doing, role model them to our kids. Quite frankly, I was crap at this and have got much, much better at it and guess what? My kids are really quite good at it, in fact, at times still better than me. LOL. Curious as to how I did it?

Feeling our feelings is such an important part of being able to navigate them and use them to guide us. The problem is, when we are resisting our reality and operating from FEAR mode, we can’t access other feelings and subsequently miss the lessons they might give us. Tune in…

Trust me, THIS skill is so vital and yet it is often not the focus of our attention, and it should be. We need to be aware of this and always hold onto it, especially if we want our kids to listen to us. Curious as to what you need to hold onto? Don’t miss this one and tune in…

I regularly hear from parents that they are worried about their child lacking confidence and how do they help them become more confident. It can be scary to see a child not be able to do something that we know they are capable of, so how do we handle it? In today’s episode, I share with you tips on how to do this. And, apologies for the “cat” background noise, I have a Harry Houdini of a cat who despite being shut out, still manages to get into places and disrupt the peace!! Tune in…
