🚫 TIME-OUTS? NOT IN THIS HOUSE.

After raising 3 kids, I’ve learned that traditional time-outs often do more harm than good.

More tears, more guilt, more disconnection.In this video, I’ll share:

✨ Why I stopped using time-outs altogether (why I never used them either)

✨ The surprising truth about how time-outs affect toddlers

✨ The calm, connection-based technique I use instead (and it *actually* works)

This approach has led to fewer meltdowns, more cooperation, and a lot less parenting regret.

Whether you’re parenting a toddler or a strong-willed child, you’ll walk away with something you can try *today.*

#motherhoodtips #healthymarriage #raisingkids Today we're doing a little deep dive back story into our humble beginnings and how this has shaped how we parent our 3 kids as South Africans living in the States. In honor of our 15 year wedding anniversary we thought we would go down memory lane and reflect on the challenges of moving countries, leaving all your creature comforts and familiarity behind and how we have had to rebuild and make community away from our country of origin.

Today are my lessons in slowing down in my life so I can bear witness to my children's childhoods with more intention and joy. I have been receiving a lot of lessons lately to slow down and listen to my body and I think there is something very valuable in recognizing how important our mental and physical wellness is.

I am SO excited to finally have convinced my husband to come on my podcast/YouTube channel and share our experiences together of raising our 3 kids and being married for 15 years! We have been through a lot and we hope we can share some of our challenges to help you with yours. Join us for an often hilarious discussion about the our lives and what we regret, what we agree with and how we want to guide our family as our children grow. 👉CONNECT WITH ME ON SOCIALS:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/juliefernandescoE-mail: [email protected]

Today we're diving into my experience of having young kids and trying to marry a career with the time of intentional childhood and parenting experience I want for my kids. Can you have it all? I'm pretty sure you can't.. Not in the way you may think in any case. I would love to hear your opinions on moms working long hours, not seeing their kids, moms working for career aspirations (golden handcuffs) and those that absolutely have to work to support their families financially and whether this is the right decision for our kids. 👉CONNECT WITH ME ON SOCIALS:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/juliefernandescoE-mail: [email protected]

Today we're catching up where I left off at the beginning of year discussing life lessons and personal growth. I talk about how I am using my value system to guide my decisions and relationships as well as I why I am being forced to slow down in my every day life for a while. I also confess how hard it is for me to ask for help and ponder where this comes from. Perhaps you can relate?!👉CONNECT WITH ME ON SOCIALS:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/juliefernandescoE-mail: [email protected]

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to be overnight successes and you are just not meeting your goals? Well there are many things that go into being successful but a critical concept, that you need to understand in order to do anything well in this life is delayed gratification aka pain now vs pain later. In this video, I hope to show you how putting in the work now in any area of your life that you want to improve will make a huge difference to your happiness, productivity, and parenting. Delay the pain and seek comfort now or meet it head on, do the darn thing, and reap the rewards later. Let me know what you think in the comments.

Today we're back with some more mom tips and hacks and motivation to get and stay organized in 2025 and have more fun alongside it. Let's be honest motherhood can be a real slog sometimes and a lot of that can be solved by being more organized in your home and your life and creating time for hobbies and fun. I hope this video motivates you to tackle an area of your home that you have been avoiding but needs to be organized as well as start a new hobby!
