Staying calm and composed can feel impossible in the chaos of motherhood, but mastering the art of nonchalance can be a game-changer. A nonchalant approach helps reduce conflict, model emotional regulation, and promote peace in your home.

In this episode of Mother U with Rachel Norman, we explore what a nonchalant voice is (and isn’t), why it works, and how to use it effectively in everyday parenting.

We’re chatting about:

• How adopting a nonchalant parenting style can reduce yelling and power struggles
• Practical tips for using tone, timing, and presence to stay calm and composed
• How purposeful, playful connection supports cooperation and emotional growth

Tune in for actionable strategies that help you parent with calm confidence while creating a peaceful, connected home environment.

*I've been told since that the water experiment is pseudoscience at best, so take with a grain of salt!

** Nurture and Play is BASED on play therapy principles but as you are a mother who is NOT a play therapist, it's not therapy. It's purposeful play using coaching skills that meets your child where they're at and creates a delightful time of 1:1 with your child :)
