This week on the podcast we are talking to parenting expert Michelle Carlson about hand in hand parenting. We talk to Michelle about what Hand in Hand parenting is, the brain science behind the method and why it's effective. Michelle shares with us some great tools and tips that we can start applying in our lives with our children immediately. I have been using her tips and they really do work! We also take up questions on the podcast asked by the Instagram community about struggles they have had with raising their kids.

"Michelle lives in Los Angeles with her two girls 9 and 12. Before becoming a Hand in Hand certified instructor in 2015, she worked for 12 years in public schools as a teacher and counselor. She also served as an adjunct professor in the Department of Education instructing in the teacher credentialing program. None of which prepared her to be a mom. After years of consequences, bribes and star charts she found Hand in Hand parenting, created by Patty Wipfler. It reshaped the relationship she shares with her daughters, and she credits it with changing her life. 

Michelle has helped herself and others make meaningful connections, work on sibling rivalry, and alleviate school problems.  Aggression, fears, withdrawnness and sleep are just some of the struggles she has shared and helped others rectify.
