Parenting Our Future

In this episode, I talk about how to set intentions and how setting intentions can change your thoughts, mindset and actions. Setting intentions holds power because your mindset holds incredible power over your thoughts and actions.

I’ll walk you through how you can tackle the three most common questions I get asked so you can have more cooperation and peace in your home! First, I talk about meltdowns and how to understand them and find out what’s going on with your child even if they are too young to express themselves. I talk about the secret to getting your kids to listen to you the FIRST time!! The final question I answer is how to get more respect from your kids.

From the Podcast:

Question #1 Understanding meltdown When kids are too young to express themselves and name their emotions follow these steps:

1. Accept your child has big emotions

1. Name what your child must be feeling

2. Give them empathy – feeling things you can’t name is really hard and can feel scary for a child

3. Accept again

4. You need to know what your emotions are as well. Follow this link to get your list of feelings

Question #2 steps to getting your kids to listen

1. Notice where you are in relationship to your child when you ask them to do something

   and now.

3. Make your request once you have their attention

4. Take them

5. Give them any help they need

In my podcast, my intention is to create a safe place for anyone listening. This is for parents who are struggling, parents who are just looking for some new ways. This podcast is for you if you've had a good day, if you've had a bad day, if you’ve been struggling for a week or years! This is for you if you have one child or many, young children or adult children (grandparents welcome!!)

In this episode I share my journey into motherhood and how it shook me so hard I lost myself and the vision of the mother I thought I would be. In my deepest despair, I found a way out through peaceful parenting. Not only did I find a way to connect with my kids and get more cooperation and connection, I became much more confident mom and found my way back to myself.

Because I’m so passionate about the practice of Peaceful Parenting, I want to share with you what it’s all about and how it can make a difference for you as well!

From the Podcast:

Active Compassionate Listening:

1. Listen Intently: What is said in words and non-verbally – put your phone down, no distractions all attention on the person speaking

2. Listen without judgement: We go through our days with judgement filters – so try to lift those filters so you can really hear the other person. Listen for understanding, not to judge or respond

3. Listen without interruption: Most of the time when we interrupt, it can come from a good place of wanting to share. We have lots of thoughts when someone is talking but try to make a conscious effort to listen and keep quiet without interrupting.

4. Listen without comparing: your mind wants to actively go to how you compare but it takes you out of listening
