Strong Single and Human

This week’s guest Laura Reardon teaches parents about how to respond to their kids' big emotions and challenging behaviors in a way that creates more peace rather than more conflict in their homes.

She tried many things like counting to 3, consequences, rewards, and ignoring unwanted behaviors but none of it helped. And in the end, she found herself yelling…and worrying… and felt alone in this whole parenting thing.

This week's guest since she was 8 years old, has studied people’s behaviors.  

It was not intentional but necessary for her survival.  

She lived in a warzone. Of course, you wouldn’t necessarily know that by walking past her house, but you did if you knew her family. She also never knew when the war battles would occur. Therefore, she always had to be prepared. One way she prepared was by studying the behavior of those in her family which would mean she had a leg up and always be one step ahead of her abusers and homes toxicity. 

The bottom line is her life was full of … ABUSE…VIOLENCE…FEAR! Today, she is grateful for her extremely traumatic childhood because it had a significant impact on her to be the therapist and coach who easily “gets it.”
