Welcome to another episode of Your Parent Coach, today I’m joined by someone who brings both wisdom and heart to the world of parenting: Sharon Cullington — Author, Early Childhood Educator, Speaker, Parenting Coach, and mum of three.

With over 20 years of experience, Sharon has developed a transformative and enjoyable approach to raising children, one that helps families identify and repair deep-rooted behavioural patterns while nurturing calmer, more connected homes.

Her book, Who Put the Kids in Charge?, captures the essence of her life’s work — offering insight, humour, and hope to parents ready to create confident, cooperative family dynamics.

In this episode, we dive deep into:

• What inspired Sharon to write Who Put the Kids in Charge? — and the powerful message behind it
• The biggest modern parenting challenges — and what today’s parents are getting right
• How to set boundaries without becoming “the bad guy”
• Why being a leader (not just a friend) is essential in your teen’s life
• One actionable strategy for parents who feel like they’ve lost control at home
• How collaboration and differing perspectives can strengthen families and communities
• We also chat about our shared mission to change the way parents approach connection and leadership and why respectful, curious parenting is the foundation of happier homes.
