The minute we become parents we feel like we have to have all the answers. Not only do we have to have all the answers, but we also need to right! In this episode I reframe what it means to "be right" and what would happen if we considered approaching parenting dilemmas with from a different perspective. We explore why this one simple minset shift has drastically changed the way I parent and live. 

What we unpack in this episode:

• Learn to listen and tune in to each unique situation
• Connect with your kids and others by gaining presence
• Reconsider how you approach parenting dilemmas
• Learn to pause and consider before responding

Parenting is hard. Let's reframe this process together.

Welcome to the parenting reframe podcast. I'm your host, Albiona Rakipi. I have been lucky enough to work with children and families for over 20 years. My bachelor's degree is in early childhood education and my master's is in speech and language pathology. I currently work as a pediatric speech and language pathologist.

And prior to that, I was an early childhood teacher for over 12 years and I loved every single minute of it. I'm also a parent to two wonderful humans. Parenting grants me the opportunity to make mistakes, learn, laugh, and sometimes cry. But I gained unlimited insights from my personal and individual growth. I need my kids just as much as they've needed me. Despite bearing the title of "Mom," they've helped me evolve in more ways than I could imagine.

On this podcast, we'll explore solutions to some of the biggest parenting challenges. ie, tantrums, potty training, challenging behaviors, neurodivergent learners, teenagers, bedtime, homework, expectations, et cetera. We'll chat with experts, parents, and even kids about what it means to parent and to be parented.

My hope is to create a safe space where parents can feel seen, heard, and supported through this wild journey that is parenting. There is so much information at our fingertips. How do we quiet the noise, dig deep and find the answers within to reclaim joy, peace and balance in our homes, at least most of the time? My only ask is that you stay open and curious. Welcome aboard, and let's reframe together.
