Dealing with Fear

Lightening the Mood & Hitting Reset

In this fabulous episode, I talk to Justine about her life with her 3 kiddos. A long-term goal of hers has been to go to nursing school. She is finally doing it, and that transition is causing some stress in the family and among her 3 kids. They are finding it hard to get along. We talk about playful ways to lighten the mood and to get them to help out in this transition–actively participate in the transition instead of just suffering the results of mom having less time. Enjoy!

Positive Speech & Visualization

Mama ILeah and I have a great conversation about how to learn to use positive speech as a family, and positive reinforcement altogether, even taking it a step further by using visualization as a way to help with anxiety. Another awesome conversation!

Dealing with Fear

After last week's episode, Nia and I got to talking and realized we had to record another episode. They live in Germany, and on the way to Ella's daycare, they saw a bunch of refugees standing in line from Ukraine. This sparked a lot of fear in Ella and the other kids at the daycare. Don't miss out on this important topic of dealing with fear!

Drama and Eye Contact

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with mama Nia about her 4.5-year-old daughter Ella who likes to lean into her dramas. We talk about the importance of eye contact and some fun exercises to do around learning to re-connect with each other when the connection is lost.

Bringing the Outdoors In – Positive Transitions

In this episode, I get to talk to Crystal, mama to 2-year-old Lila, about what to do when it's raining outside, and how to implement positive, fun, and happy transitions into the day instead of saying "no".
