  • In Episode 135, Kyle and Sara, LPC’s, discuss what to do when your kids refuse to do what you are asking because they want to do something else. We walk through the steps you can take to shift these moments into great opportunities. Too often these situations turn into power struggles where parents feel they need to dominate or they throw their hands in the air. All of this ties perfectly into the holiday season and how many parents feel anxious, stressed and frustrated with all of the expectations and demands. You can actually create something different by understanding what your child is already telling you, “You aren’t being controlled and you can actually do what you want!” That is the power of choice and the gift of free will.

  • In Episode 131, Kyle and Sara, LPC’s, have an in depth discussion about time outs. Lots of parents come to us no longer wanting to spank and they feel like time outs are the only other option available. In this episode we explore the history of time outs and why we thought we were going to use them when we had kids. As a child therapist, Sara was even trained how to teach parents the best ways to do time outs. However, there are many unintended consequences that occur in families when they utilize time out as a discipline strategy. We end the episode with other techniques we use in our home and coach other parents to use, so they can transition away from spankings and time outs.

  • In Episode 128, Kyle and Sara, LPC’s, discuss the words and phrases we often hear from parents when they are describing their kids' negative behavior. We both feel strongly that words have power in shaping and forming not only how we see our kids but also how they see themselves. Sara and I discuss how just making a little change in the way we talk about our kids can make a huge difference in our relationship with them. This isn’t about sticking our heads in the sand and sugar coating their behavior but about learning to talk about their behavior in a way that actually helps them to change it for the better.

  • In Episode 126, Kyle and Sara, LPC’s, interview Zach Watson from @realzachthinkshare. He is blowing up on IG and TikTok right now discussing the topic of “Invisible Labor” in families. He is also a self titled “recovering man child”. As a dad and husband I find Zach’s content illuminating, challenging, and also encouraging. All too often I find myself shifting the labor and the burden of family life onto Sara’s shoulders because I am choosing to focus on other things. Most of the time I am not even aware I am doing it. This is the episode mothers and wives are going to want to share with their spouses. This will spark a very helpful conversation in your home today.

  • In Episode 125, Kyle and Sara, LPC’s, discuss the importance of kids learning how to take responsibility for their actions. Many parents ask us, “How do you hold kids accountable without punishment?” We dive into how punishment is actually the parent taking responsibility away from the child, not giving it to them. We share the four steps we have found to help kids embrace taking responsibility and actually changing their behavior. Our ultimate goal is to raise children that hold themselves accountable for what they say they are going to do. Wouldn’t that be awesome!!!
