In this episode of Mother U with Rachel Norman, we’re diving into tomato staking—a supportive parenting strategy that helps kids stay accountable without constant power struggles. 

If you’ve been battling over chores, schoolwork, or daily routines, this episode will give you practical parenting tips to create cooperation, connection, and peace at home.

We’re chatting about:

• What tomato staking is and how it applies to parenting
• How to use your presence to guide kids without yelling, nagging, or punishing
• Practical examples of avoiding meltdowns and power struggles through supportive accountability

Tune in to learn how your calming presence can reduce meltdowns, prevent task avoidance, and guide children through responsibilities in a way that feels nurturing, not punitive.
