The number one question families ask - how do we set limits with our kids without screaming, yelling and threatening! In this episode, I share how to set boundaries in your home with calm, clarity, consistency and compassion and explain why limit setting is so crucial in fostering feelings of safety and security with your kids.

Encore! The Magic of Play

Good Enough Parenting ·

2024/07/03

Play is a child’s first language. It’s how they communicate what they’re feeling, thinking and where they’re struggling. If we can access the playful side of ourselves and speak to our children in a language they understand in their bodies and brains, parenting gets so much easier (and fun!) Today I share a story of how I handled my child’s fears by harnessing the power of play.

Why Good Enough Works

Good Enough Parenting ·

2024/06/26

It’s the end of June, my kids are out of school and the lazy days of summer are laid out before us. I used to pack our summers with outings and activities because it was hard being home all together. But as my kids have gotten older and more independent and I’ve learned the value of doing less as a parent, I now look forward to quiet days where the biggest question on our mind is what’s for lunch. So in summer I pause. I move slow. I play. I appreciate. I enJOY. Which is ...

What Do You Want?

Good Enough Parenting ·

2024/06/19

Our culture has a bit of an obsession with “having.” We’re always looking for the next new thing (app, supplement, couch cover!) we can “have” that might make a change for us. There is a fun assessment I play with kids in my practice. I tell them they have a key to a magic room and when they open the door they will find something that makes them happier than they could imagine – but the trick is you can’t buy it with money. Then I ask them to draw it on a special piece of paper. It’...

How We Grow

Good Enough Parenting ·

2024/06/12

You know those fun timelines of your child’s development that you get at the pediatrician’s office or see in books like “What to Expect in the First Year?”They paint such a succinct, rosy picture of what your baby will be doing at 6 months (eating solids!), 12 months (first steps!), 2 years (welcome to the world of tantrums!) They’re not a bad way of preparing for the years ahead, but unfortunately they give the impression that growth is this straightforward process where you move from a...

3 Types of Mom Friends

Good Enough Parenting ·

2024/06/05

My favorite movies and tv shows are female buddy comedies. Give me some Boys on the Side, Baby Mama, Bad Moms and especially Broad City and I’m happy for days. I just recently went to see “Babes” with my best girlfriends and almost had to leave the theater I was laughing so hard. Female friendships have always been essential for me. But once kids entered the picture, it was a lot harder to maintain these relationships. It’s like your whole life gets turned upside down and shake...

Family Travel Tips

Good Enough Parenting ·

2024/05/29

Traveling with kids can suck. Traffic, airport delays, an endless chorus of “are we there yet” can make any parent question whether spending a small fortune on a family trip is really worth it. But getting our families out of their at home comfort zone has endless benefits. Not only do we see what life is like outside of our little bubbles, but we also create lasting memories and return from trips with a fresh perspective on our OWN family life. Traveling adve...

2024/05/22

The summer season is officially upon us! Which means it’s time to wrestle your toddler to the ground so you can apply some ghost-whitening sunblock while your six year old screams “I hear the ice cream truck! Can we get one?” at 10am. Are you already counting the days until Labor Day? Fear not! There are ways we can find more sweetness and less stress this summer with our families.

Anxiety vs Autonomy

Good Enough Parenting ·

2024/05/15

Have you heard of the new book “The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness” by Jonathan Haidt? From PBS to TikTok – everyone’s talking about it. And when something strikes a chord this deeply across our culture, it means something big is resonating. And here’s the headline – our young adults are showing more signs of anxiety and depression than ever before. And Haidt draws a very convincing connection between how moder...

If only there was a way we could connect with our kids, foster their social/emotional skills, develop their executive functioning while also having fun as a family. Oh wait! The answer has been hiding inside our cluttered closet the whole time…. Games! Structured games are an incredible way to help kids learn to manage their emotions (who hasn’t wanted to punch the candy land board when you get pulled back to gingerbread land mere steps away from the candy cas...
