TPJ 48: Holiday Round-up

Hi, Fam! ·

2019/12/16

Should you tell your kids the truth about Santa or the tooth fairy? How about the “Elf On The Shelf”? I get asked questions about these and other traditions on a regular basis, and I thought I would round up some of my favorite conversations regarding these in this special holiday episode. [3:03] Some TPJ updates! [11:06] Should we tell our kids the truth about Santa? [11:59] I feel strongly that everything I tell my kids should be 100% the truth.

TPJ 46: How To Stay Zen During The Holidays

Hi, Fam! ·

2019/12/02

The holidays are often a mixed bag of emotions. It can be a privilege to have family and friends to meet up with during the holidays. But for many of us it’s a season of stress and frustration...especially when you do things differently from the norm, like peaceful & conscious parenting. [4:34] The stress and anxiety can become “normal” for us if we don’t do something about it. [6:50] We shouldn't let differences and minor issues damage our relationships. [9:58] Tip #1: Your breath.

TPJ 45: Dealing With Entitlement & Ungratefulness

Hi, Fam! ·

2019/11/25

Do your children ever act entitled or ungrateful? Mine do, and it’s a major trigger for me. While I don’t want to deprive my children of abundance, safety, joy, experiences and some material things, I don’t want to raise entitled and ungrateful children (who will turn into entitled and ungrateful adults)! So what are we to do?? That’s what we’re talking about in today’s episode. [3:59] How entitled are our kids? We can use these questions as a gauge. [6:36] If our children are acting entitled,

TPJ Bonus Episode: An Interview with Becki Biermaier

Hi, Fam! ·

2019/11/21

We all want what’s best for our children, but sometimes we can be a little too protective, do too much for them, and expect too little from them. In this interview with Becki Biermaier, who has experienced more than her share of challenges as a little person, we discuss what parents can do to help their children develop resilience and overcome the challenges they face in life. [8:05] Pity is disempowering. “Until a child knows they can’t, they think they can.” [9:46] Boundaries and

Hi, Fam! ·

Are your kids ever on the receiving end of name-calling? Do they get their feelings hurt by other kids, and you find yourself struggling with how to deal with it or help them through it? In this episode we’ll dive into some ways you can help your children become healthy and strong individuals by coaching them through the friction and conflict they’re bound to experience throughout their childhood. [3:11] Name calling and hurt feelings are par for the course and aren’t as bad as

TPJ 43: Eco-Conscious Gifts For Kids

Hi, Fam! ·

2019/11/11

Consumption...gifts...toys. If you're like me, you live in a society where materialism and the availability of toys and “stuff” is overwhelming, you likely struggle with the desire for “more” vs. minimalism and mindful consumption. In this episode we discuss how we can be eco-conscious when it comes to gifts and the holidays. [3:33] The deck is stacked against us when it comes to consumption and materialism...especially in the U.S. [6:29] The real issue is with our own internal struggles with

Join us as we discuss ideas for making learning fun and how you are responsible for your child’s education even if you don’t homeschool. [6:53] “How you relate to your child around their education is the key to successful growth of their love of learning.” [10:47] We can partner with our children to give them an education that they enjoy and gives them a hunger for

TPJ 41: Why Kids Lie

Hi, Fam! ·

2019/10/28

Do your children lie to you? Or if they’re too young, are you worried they will in the future? I get questions about lying quite often, and in this episode we’re going to talk about why children lie and what we can do about it. [4:13] Lying is a natural part of a child’s development. [5:45] Younger kids sometimes don’t differentiate between reality and their imagination. [8:04] They start using their imagination to attempt to alter reality. [9:27] They start to lie because they’re aware of what

TPJ 40: Why Kids Don't Listen

Hi, Fam! ·

2019/10/21

Does it frustrate you when you ask your children to do something, and they don’t do it? Do your kids ever tune you out or not hear you when you’re trying to talk to them? Do they ever dig in their heels or do the opposite of what you’re asking them to do? Doesn’t it just drive you CRAZY sometimes?? Or is it just me? In this episode we’re going to talk about why children don’t “listen” and what we can do to improve the odds they’ll cooperate and comply with our requests more often. [3:56] The

Hi, Fam! ·

Is the battle over your children’s screen time a constant source of frustration (and tantrums!)? Are you concerned they’re spending too much time on screens and that it might be unhealthy and even stunting their mental, social, and physical development? 🙋🏽 I’m right there with you. In this episode I talk with Dr. Alok Kanojia (a world-class addiction psychiatrist and reformed gamer) and his wife Kruti about gaming and screen time, breaking down the intricacies and nuances that will help each of

TPJ 38: Playful Parenting

Hi, Fam! ·

2019/10/07

Have you ever seen a parent who really knows how to connect with kids? I think we all know someone who knows how to get them laughing and win them over with ease. One who can speak to kids at their level, calm them down when they get a little crazy or help them feel better when they’re upset. My brother is like this and it’s amazing to watch him in action. I wish it came as naturally to me as it does to him. Can you relate? In this episode, we’re talking about what playful parenting is, why it

TPJ 37: Start Accepting Now

Hi, Fam! ·

2019/09/30

In this episode I talk about the reality that as our children grow into adulthood, they may “veer off” the path that we hoped for them. Have you ever worried about that? Have you thought about how you may feel if they turn out to be different than the person you wanted them to be? How would you handle it if you’re disappointed about who they become? [4:25] We have a lot of influence in their early years. [5:51] Then there are the teenage years… [6:58] We want our children to be able to think

TPJ 36: Atheism and Spirituality

Hi, Fam! ·

2019/09/23

In this episode we’re going to talk about religious practices, faith, and religious communities. People often ask me about how they can combine their passion and commitment to parenting from a loving and respectful place with their commitment to their faith (which might be based on a type of rewards system itself!) It’s a tough but important question to answer. And this doesn’t apply to just organized religion; it’s applicable to any sort of belief system or way of life (like veganism, atheism, or

TPJ 35: Introducing Spirituality to Your Family

Hi, Fam! ·

2019/09/16

In this episode we’ll discuss spirituality in parenting, regardless of one’s religion. [6:50] Are religious people happier? [8:29] Organized religions often facilitate social ties and community. [10:15] Religious people create time to pursue spiritual feelings and emotions. [13:25] We can harness these same feelings and emotions in our parenting. [14:58] If you’re curious about my personal spirituality… [17:50] Parenting itself is an act of spirituality. [18:21] Gratitude [21:13] Giving [24:45]

TPJ 34: Do the words "Leadership" and "Parenting"...

Hi, Fam! ·

2019/09/09

Leadership and Family. How about Leadership and Parenting? Do these words go together? When you became a parent maybe you began to feel more like a servant than a leader. Maybe you feel like you just need to keep people alive and happy, get them what they need, and be there for them. Leadership is an act of service, but it's very different than being a servant. When we're servants we don't have a vision, but when we're leaders this is at the very crux of good leadership. A clear vision. In this

TPJ 33: Get Comfortable Being the Authority Figure

Hi, Fam! ·

2019/09/02

The word authority gets a bad rap when it comes to peaceful parenting because it tends to get lumped in with the authoritarian parenting style which is the “do as I say or else” style. But authority is actually well rooted in the authoritative style where you have high expectations but you also provide high support and warmth. When we choose to abdicate our role as the authority, our children are then left to make decisions they are not ready to make. Instead, if we become that empathetic firm

Hi, Fam! ·

2019/08/26

With all the great information and examples of parenting the way you desire to out there, do you ever feel like you constantly fall short? Like you’re failing as a parent and just not measuring up? You’ve heard it before, “comparison is the thief of joy.” But, in this information at our fingertips world we are living in, it can be difficult to not fall into the trap of comparing. We can also get discouraged even when we don’t compare ourselves to others but to some ideal version of ourselves

TPJ 31: How to NOT Lose Yourself in Motherhood

Hi, Fam! ·

2019/08/19

I was chatting with a friend who’s recently become a first time mom. Her baby is just turning one and she told me: “I’ve really let myself go”... she described how she hasn’t been to the gym since her pregnancy, how she’s enslaved herself in service of her baby and how she hasn’t been out with her girlfriends in months. If this is you, I’m going to share a mindset shift that will help you break free of victimhood and enslavement parenting - and how your child will benefit greatly from this shift
