Trauma-Informed Parenting

Episode 25: Kathleen and Lori talk about the changes in schedules for the summer season and how it can cause problems for a child with sensory issues or past trauma.

Summer means cookout food, staying up later than usual, and different experiences than usual. And sometimes that can be the perfect recipe for disaster for a family with adopted kids, kids with sensory issues, or kids on the autism spectrum. The Whole House ladies have a little bit of experience with this and want to offer some tips and tricks to make the summer go a little more smoothly for everyone!

Episode 24: Amerey and Kathleen talk about the ins and outs of having their very own family camp every summer.

It's evolved into Camp Lemon Lime, and now it is her great-grandchildren and extended family! A family camp could be your perfect summer activity and it can be as simple or extravagant as you want it! Amerey and Kathleen talk about how the Guire family does a family camp and how you can do it too!

Episode 15: Amerey, Carly, and Kathleen talk about some of the ups and downs and dealings of being a young mom.

We think every mother will encounter moments where they will have to speak up for themselves or else be misunderstood/taken advantage of/manipulated. We share some (spoiler alert: truthful and raw) stories of times when we have had to advocate for ourselves or our babies, with family members, medical professionals, or strangers. We've been there, and we want to encourage you in those possibly tough situations.

So grab a cup of coffee! Wash those dishes! Walk that trail! And thank you so much for joining us here at The Whole House!

Episode 13: Amerey and Kathleen talk about learning how to understand and work well with toddlers, little kids, and kids with lower emotional ages.

Do you always know how to express your feelings? We, as adults, can't always answer yes, so how can we expect it out of our littles??

We aren't preaching from perfection, we just want to offer tips to helping little kids with big emotions regulate and adjust their behaviors appropriately.
