Episodes

  • When mistakes are judged, shamed and connected to child’s worth + belonging (conditional teaching):

    ✔️Kids learn to feel shame when they naturally struggle
    ✔️Kids learn that conflict is binary: good/bad, right/wrong
    ✔️Kids hold in their feelings + needs out of fear of shame
    ✔️Kids are more likely to lie, blame, + defend to feel safe

    When mistakes neutrally explored and NOT connected to child’s worth + belonging (unconditional teaching):

    ✨Kids learn to feel safe when they struggle and grow
    ✨Kids learn that conflict can be a safe place to learn
    ✨Kids learn their + others’ needs + feelings matter
    ✨Kids are more likely to communicate, empathize + innovate

    Gah! We’re all trying to give ourselves grace, patience and love for all the “messing up” we’re doing as adults + parents. ✨Can we try to extend those same things to our kids as they learn and grow, too?

    Rather than instinctually repeating the inherited phrasing that was passed down to us from generations before, we give you permission to lean into your kids’ learning moments with the very skills you hope to teach them: curiosity, empathy, humor + innovation — a concerted effort to focus on the NEEDS vs the BEHAVIORS.

  • We loved connecting with friend and colleague, author and speaker Jen Lumanlan of Your Parenting Mojo about her new book, Parenting Beyond Power! ✨ Tune in to learn more about ways to use connection and collaboration to transform your family — and the world!

    Visit Jen's website for ways to purchase her book and check below, Oregon folx, for information on her book tour as it passes through at the end of October! 🎉

    October 28th: Sip & Sign at Circle Round

    October 29th: Workshop at Living Room Realty

    From Jen:

    Parenting is hard. But when we replace conventional parent-child power dynamics with collaboration, family life gets easier today—and we create a better world for all of us in the future. When our children are stalling, resisting, tantrumming, using mean words, and hitting, we want to make it stop. But discipline methods like time-outs, countdowns, and 'consequences' teach children that it's OK for more powerful people to control others.

    Research-based parenting educator Jen Lumanlan offers a simple yet revolutionary framework for rethinking our relationships with children. We can learn to look beneath challenging behaviors to find and meet children's needs, and ours too - perhaps for the first time in our lives. This approach helps us to find solutions to conflicts that work for everyone - in our families, and in the wider world.

  • Tune in to hear the 4 magical ways we can work WITH our kids to help them get homework, chores, hygiene, manners, safety, dressing, toileting and bedtime achieved WITHOUT coercion -- independently, completely, consistently and WITH JOY.

    Are you motivated to master the mindset + learn shame-free, consent-based tools to overcome challenges with your sensitive + strong-willed kid?✨You’re not alone!

  • Every feel flooded? Triggered? Too emotionally hijacked to respond calmly to yourkids' big feelings and challenging behaviors? Join our conversation with Jen Lumanlan of Your Parenting Mojo to talk about ways to calm our minds and bodies so we don't keep losing our shit on our kids!

    Jen explores ways we can stop cycles of trauma and begin healing through our parenting practices. Her Taming Your Triggers Workshop is LIVE! This is the course we ALL need to be able to lean in with calm clarity to support our kids through their big feelings and challenging behaviors. CLICK TO LEARN MORE! Sliding scale pricing available -- Doors close this coming Wednesday, October 12th!

    Taming Your Triggers is a research-based approach that provides a solid foundation of tools and provides support, a nonjudgmental presence, and even lasting friendship through the community.

    When you join the Taming Your Triggers workshop, you'll learn:

    ✔️What is a trigger, and how to identify yours

    ✔️How to help your child WANT to cooperate with you, so you don't have to lose your cool

    ✔️Where triggers come from - examining previously experienced trauma, as well as the stresses of daily life

    ✔️How to use mindfulness (in just a few minutes a day!) to help you avoid being triggered in the first place, and respond more effectively when you are occasionally still triggered

    ✔️How to recognize when you're in frame of mind that makes you susceptible to feeling triggered, and take specific steps to make yourself more trigger-proof

  • Should we believe that using consequences, threats, shame, isolation etc. is the best way to teach + prepare kids for adulthood? NO!

    Today’s Q&A explores how we can bravely work to believe that our kids grow best from our CONNECTION, not our CONTROL. Though our instinct tells us to fix, stop or punish their big feelings + challenging behaviors, practicing powers beyond control with our kids creates a sense of security for them that allows their brains to learn + our relationship to flourish.

    Can we do this everyday and every moment? No way– this is the ongoing practice and the process of growing up alongside our kids. Why? How? Tune in and download our new free download on the site!

  • Should we believe that kids’ big feelings + challenging behaviors are negative, unnecessary or worrisome signs about them or us? NO!

    We can bravely work to see our kids’ resistance as VALUABLE. Viewing our kids’ big feelings + challenging behaviors as natural + a helpful way to understand their needs can allow everyone to know, feel + do better. Let kids resist!
