February 12, 2013 5 Sad Discipline Mistakes That Shame Your Child
I recognized the #1 shaming discipline approach when I saw a grown woman do it to herself.
She played opposite me during a game of tennis, and every time she made a mistake, she shamed herself with a message I'm sure she heard all during childhood.

It's a shaming message that only takes one word.

I heard this message when I was growing up. You probably heard it while you were growing up, too. And it's time to stop shaming our children with it.

The #1 shaming discipline mistake applies to all Types of children.

The other 4 mistakes in today's show are customized to your child because they are Type-specific. Listen for your child in particular so you can eliminate the shaming situations your child experiences.

My daughter won't snuggle, but I want to—what to do? (Listen at 32:20)

January 22, 2013 Health and fitness tips for all Types of children
In today's show: What to eat, say, and do to help your children live healthy.
You need to be aware of all three!

Forcing children to exercise or eat vegetables does nothing to promote health in the long-term if the things you say about food are not supportive. (It works the other way around, too.)

Find out how to approach food and fitness in ways that will have your children choosing to live healthy for the rest of their lives.

Quote of the Day:
"I often hear from parents, "Oh, I wish I had know about this twenty years ago." And I think: Your kid's still looking for you to show up and honor them. It doesn't matter if they're 45.
Parents play that role for our entire lives. And if our parents don't show up to give us the validation and the recognition that we all seek as human beings, we have to find that within ourselves."

November 13, 2012 What are your child's emotions mirroring for you?
Strong emotions in a child can trigger an emotional charge in their parents or other family members.

But your reaction reveals an awful lot about you.

Children don't have any hidden agendas, so they most clearly mirror our limiting beliefs and emotions. When children set you off emotionally, they're actually revealing a block in your life that you need to acknowledge and resolve.

That's what this week's podcast episode is about—identifying your emotional triggers with your child and reducing conflict by clearing them up. You'll be glad you listened.
