Be A Better Parent | For Every Child It Takes A Village... The Same Goes For Every Parent!

S9E1 (EP 191): Why Do I Feel Like A Bad Parent? 5 Ways to Stop the Struggle and Get Consistent


Listen Later

We’re beginning a new chapter together. Pumped Up Parenting is now Be A Better Parent, and this first episode under our new name leans right into the question so many parents ask in quiet moments: “Why do I feel like I’m failing, and what can I actually do about it?”


I take you through the real-life pressure points — those nights you wish you hadn’t yelled, the sleep and mealtime battles, the comparison that makes everyone else look like they’ve got it all together, and the overwhelm of trying “all the advice” for a day or two and wondering why nothing sticks.From there, we slow everything down and get practical. You’ll hear why consistency — not perfection — turns the tide, how loving limits and clear boundaries make kids feel safe, and how teaching consequences works better than punishments that only add fear and frustration. We’ll also talk about the tantrum – negotiation loop and why giving in “to keep the peace” keeps the cycle going, plus exactly what it looks like to hold a calm, steady no and let the storm pass.

Most importantly, we look at the model our kids are learning from every day, us. When we regulate our emotions, they learn how to regulate theirs. Everything we do gives them permission to do the same, so together we practice tools that build calm, respect, and trust — one real moment at a time.As we step into Be A Better Parent, I’m thrilled to share that the Be A Better Parent app is now live on the App Store and Google Play. It’s your in-the-moment guide for today’s fast-paced parenting. Quick steps for tough moments, bite-size lessons you can use on the go, and everyday support to help you stay consistent when life gets loud.
