Ep. #76: Five Things You Should Know About Me

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2022/11/30

One of my coaches recently challenged her audience to come up with a list of three things that their audiences probably don't know about them that seem really obvious to them and are relevant to their coaching practice. I loved this idea, and I came up with a list of five things because I don't always follow the rules and I didn't want to narrow it down.I'm weaving these tidbits into my social media, but I thought I'd create a podcast episode about them so the information is all in one place, and

Ep. #75: What's the Intention Behind Your Words?

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2022/11/23

This week I want to talk to you about how your intentions can shape the way your actions land, and I want to talk about this specifically in relation to "First/then" communication.This is something I coach my clients on from time to time, and it's something I do myself. Instead of saying, "You need to do your homework in order to have screen time," for example, I might say, "You really want to spend some time on your iPad. Let's take a look at your homework first, so we can make sure you don't run

Ep. #74: Balanced Scheduling

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2022/11/16

We are approaching our fall break here in the United States, and it felt appropriate to talk a little bit about balanced scheduling.It is so tempting, especially if school has been taxing for your child and you've been dealing with after-school meltdowns on a frequent basis to envision the holidays as a lovely, relaxed time without schedules. A time to reset.Or maybe you fall into the opposite camp. Your holidays are busy and you are looking forward to time spent with extended family, enjoying good

Ep. #73: Uncommon Advice

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2022/11/09

There's so much advice for parents out there. There's the old-school, obedience-focused advice, which often doesn't work so well for sensitive kids, and then there's the new-wave which encompasses everything that deviates from the old norm. Some of it is great, some of it is less-so, but it all represents a shift away from using physical means to control kids.But there's still a strong current of control. There's still a strong current of "don't let them get away with that." There's still a strong

Ep. #72: Congruence

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2022/11/02

This week we're talking about congruence.The official definition of congruence is "agreement or harmony, compatibility," and I want to talk to you today about congruence between your thoughts and your words. Basically, making sure that what you're saying to your kids isn't in conflict with what you're thinking.Listen on for examples.***Are you on my email list?

Ep. #71: Rethinking Bedtime Challenge

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2022/10/26

One of the most challenging times of day for many parents I work with is bedtime.It's the end of the day, our kids have been through a lot and are not at their most receptive - they might be feeling silly or even irritable - and we're tired, too.By the time bedtime routines roll around, most of us are just ready to be done.Then you layer on the worries that have space to surface when the lights go out, and you find yourself in your child's room, trying to reassure them, when you're just done and

Ep. #70: What's Next Vs. What's Now Challenge

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2022/10/19

I've been thinking for the past few weeks about posing a series of challenges through my podcast. I'm honestly not sure how many I will do, but I've got a couple in mind that I think will help you create positive changes within your family right now.This week we're going to focus on changing what's next to what's now.It's kind of funny when you say it that way, "what's now" isn't really a phrase we use in day-to-day conversations. I'll explain exactly what I mean by it in a minute, but first I want

Ep. #69: BRAAAIIIINS!!

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2022/10/12

We've been talking about brains a lot over here, and I wanted to share a few of the conversations I've had with my daughter recently because it's not really something that's modeled for us very often, and it's so very useful to our kids, especially if they are prone to overthinking, or black and white thinking, or even anxiety. Honestly, I knew it was something that could be helpful, but I've been amazed at how much it has helped my daughter.I want to share two separate conversations we have had

Ep. #68: Disappointment

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2022/10/05

This episode is about disappointment.Really, the message I want to share with you is pretty concise:You are allowed to feel disappointed.So often, we try to talk ourselves out of feeling disappointment.We might tell ourselves it's not that big of a deal.We might focus on the rational side, the pros of the situation if you will, and try to prove to ourselves that it will be better this way.We might even try to talk ourselves out of disappointment because of what being disappointed would mean about

Ep. #67: The Power of No

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2022/09/28

The idea for this episode initially came from a phenomenon I have witnessed in a lot of new parents who are wanting to parent more gently, and that is an aversion to telling their child no.So I thought about calling this episode the fear of no.BUT the more I thought about it, the more I had to consider all of the families I've worked with whose children push back against hearing NO.So, I want to offer perspective on both sides so you can decide where you and your family land.We'll start where I

Ep. #66: Inside Intentional Legacy Creators

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2022/09/21

This week I want to really dive into what you can expect from my group program, Intentional Legacy Creators. Doors open for the fall cohort on Sunday, September 25th, and as that day approaches, I want to be sure that you are clear on the structure of the group, but also on the value of being in a group like this and why I created it.I created ILC because I wanted to build a container that would make holistic parent coaching (life coaching for parents) accessible to more people. I wanted to connect

Ep. #65: Working With Your Child's Teacher

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2022/09/14

Now that we're settling into school, I want to take a little time to talk about how we can work with our kids' teachers.There is a long-standing trend of separating school and home in American culture, and it doesn't serve our children, our families, or our teachers.In this episode, I'm discussing what this looks like, and how you can start to shift into a more collaborative relationship between home and school, which allows you to work more effectively with teachers to support your child.***Are you

Ep. #64: The Trouble With Nerf Guns

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2022/09/07

A couple weeks ago, while we were visiting family, my daughter got to have her first ever Nerf gun battle with her cousin. It was epic! She had so much fun. They even let her take a mini-nerf gun home with her.Well, she was playing around with it when we got back to her grandparents house, and she accidentally shot somebody in the side of the head.This week, I'm sharing this story as an example of what kids need when society would tell us they need consequences, and how you can help your own kids

Ep. #63: Micro-Revolutions

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2022/08/24

Summer is drawing to a close in the US, and that means many of you are transitioning back to school. Your child's schedule is changing and so is yours.This week we're taking a look at one of the common tendencies as we aproach big transitions: waiting. When you know change is coming, you're more likely to tell yourself you just need to hold out a bit longer to start that new project, or wait a few more weeks and you'll have more free time.My goal with this episode is to help build your awareness so

Ep. #61: Questioning Assumptions

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2022/08/10

We've been having a lot of fun around here over the past few weeks, including unexpected visits from out-of-state friends!One of the things that bubbled up in conversation over the weekend was this idea that we are somehow failing our children. It's fascinating; our brains throw out these critical assumptions, and we just believe them. We believe we must have made a mistake as parents and created a habit in our children that shouldn't be there, or we believe that our children are harboring some sort

Ep. #60: Belief Denial

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2022/08/03

One of the things that comes up when we shine the spotlight on you and your thinking from the very start is something I call Belief Denial.This is something that has come up for me in my own work with my coach, and I've seen it come up for my clients, too.See, this work we do is a bit like an excavation. We are looking for what's happening internally for you in those moments when you are having a big reaction to something your child is doing or saying. We look at the feelings that arise in your

Ep. #59: How Much Information Do They Need?

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2022/07/27

This week we're talking about how having the right amount of information can help a child who is spinning out in fear or anxiety about something that doesn't SEEM like it should be a big deal. If you find yourself thinking, "You're worried about that? That's really not a big deal. Would you please calm down," this is the episode for you.In this episode, I mention the beta offer I have going until July 29th: one hour of laser-focused coaching to help you unravel your reactions to your child for

Ep. #58: Creepy Calm

Parenting Your Sensitive Child ·

2022/07/20

Today we're talking about something that happens if you're trying to control your reactions as opposed to changing them. I call it creepy calm. This is very closely related to what I talked about in Episode 17: Cultivating Patience. It's a by-product of what I call white-knuckling patience (or calm). Essentially, it's when you have an emotional reaction to whatever your child is doing or saying, but you are so committed to staying calm that your energy gets poured into maintaining the appearance of
