If you are a parent who is at their wit's end regarding how to deal with your kids' challenging behaviors, Colleen is here to help you learn connected parenting skills so you can build a strong, connected relationship with your child, leaving behind authoritarian methods that break the bond. 

Colleen is a mom and a stepmom, as well as the author of Freeing Your Child from Self-Criticism and Perfectionism. 

Her perspective is informed by her experiences and by current research in neuroscience, psychology, spirituality, and the 8 shields model.

This week we wanted to share why we chose "The Nurturing Parent" and what that means for us. We believe that a nurturing parent allows for the healthy growth and development of their little ones.

Here are 4 basics of how to be a nurturing parent to your babies.

This also may just serve as a reminder to cherish your little ones, show them love, accept them and all their feelings,  and encourage them. By doing this we will be raising good human beings, it will make our parenting journey easier, and you will enjoy your little ones more when you embrace your nurturing side without the business and distractions that we encounter every day.

Being a nurturing parent builds trust and respect, emphasizes connection, and requires you to be present. This all builds the confidence and self-esteem of our young ones which allows them to develop into strong independent individuals.

We get into the basics but a nurturing parent has many other qualities as well. This may look different for each individual parent as well.

 What does a nurturing parent look like for you?

Your homework is to embrace those nurturing instincts and hug and love your kids all you can this weekend, make it your intention with undivided attention! 🥰

Since we are under construction and coming to you with new changes next week, we brought it back to one of our beginning episodes. Ep. 4 "Connection Before Correction" is all about why it is important and more helpful to try and connect before your correct your child's behaviors. 

When raising our toddlers we should strive for a relationship based off of mutual trust and respect. This can be attained when we model how that looks with them. Gentle/Respectful parenting acknowledges that your kids may have big feelings and we can give them the words and space to express them. We do not have to correct but we can set boundaries and do not have to accept certain behaviors.

It is important to pay attention to our tone and best to try and redirect instead of trying to take control.  When we connect we calm their brain which will help avoid bigger outbursts.

Your homework is to try not to say "no" to your little one today, keep a cool tone, and redirect! Let us know how it goes!

Have you lost yourself in motherhood?

Are you so busy caring for the kids all day that you forget to feed yourself?

When is the last time you got a haircut?

What is one thing that you have been dying to do but could never find the time to get done?

Well, it is time to make time because it is now or never mama. Stop the mom guilt, stop the excuses, and schedule that time for yourself. Maintain your self-care routines and make sure that you are recharged and rejuvenated to give your kids the best version of yourself. 

Reminder... we have the most important job that there is. We do so much and it goes unrecognized. There is no need for mom guilt when we have a never-ending to-do list on a day-to-day basis. We give you permission to make it a priority to take care of yourself as well. Let that soak in and think about what really makes you happy, switch it up but at least30 minutes a day do something for you. That can look like walking, running, cooking, praying, meditating, reading, dancing, taking a bath, or just sitting outside.   

Your homework is to do something that absolutely fills you up today, even if it is just for 30 minutes!

Grandma's recipes, life skills, history, wisdom, a village...

The older generation has so much to offer to our toddlers when we nourish those relationships.

Grandparents can also reap many benefits from bonding with their grandkids. The older generation in exchange may get some tech service, updating on what's cool, share music and just bring smiles, joy, and purpose to the lives of our elders.

We hope you enjoy and please share this podcast with anyone you think will benefit from it!
