As we are looking back at 2022 I picked my favorite episode from this year and wanted to share it with you. Enjoy!  Is there such a thing as healthy control over our kids? And why is it so damn hard? In this episode we take a look at control from a different perspective (as always) and we move away from either of these extremes:

X - authoritative control (do this because I'm your parent)

X - complete permissive lack of control (avoiding conflict)

Neither one of these models serves our kids, so how can we have control AND still be healthy, conscious and providing them with a sturdy emotional foundation?

Listen to the episode and share what you learned!

Are Positive & Negative Reinforcement Actually Working to Correct Your Child’s Behavior?

If you’re honest with yourself, I’m willing to bet you've also noticed that while positive & negative reinforcement can work in the moment, they rarely - if ever -  lead to meaningful, long lasting change in behavior. If anything, you’re probably baffled at how 2 days, 2 hours or even just 2 mins later your child is behaving in the exact way you just tried to correct!  

So If positive and negative reinforcement worked - why does it feel like you live in groundhog day?? 

It’s because external reinforcement is a trap. If you're caught in the External Reinforcement Trap, you’re likely …

• raising your voice at your kids at least 3 x a day
• can't get past breakfast without losing your patience at least twice  
• worried you must be a bad parent

• counting the hours until naptime or bedtime so you can get a break.
• not knowing what to do to repair your relationship after a fight.
• telling your kid over and over that “It’s ok to be angry but it’s not ok to hit” and not knowing why they keep hitting when they’re angry

In today’s episode I’m sharing 2 quick and easy exercises to practice with your kids that will regulate both of you in just 60 seconds. Most people wait until the heat of the moment to whip out an exercise they learned somewhere, they heard from someone, they saw on Tiktok, but do any of those actually work for you in the moment if you haven’t practiced together and you haven’t figured out how to modify or even how to regulate at all with your kid when things are not heated? I’ll bet not. Get ready because we are about to show you how to fix it.

Learn on the job at work, not at home when it comes to your family.
