Generational parenting has become a bit of a buzz word, but what does it even mean? I'm sharing some insight to what it means and the need for some major changes toward parenting strategies that were used when we were kids.
This isn't a time or excuse to completely cut your parents or blame them for all of your current struggles in life. I promise (majority) of parents did exactly what they know how to do and the best they could. It's our responsibility now to take the good and apply what new research and evidence shows today!
Please leave a rating and review! This is the best way to show appreciation and support of any podcast and it's how the show can be found by others in search of its content!

Who else gets whip lash from my constant brand adjustments? I know I do! Chalk it up to being too cheap to get a business coach😂
This change is a little bigger (figuratively) because in reality I'm actually going really small now, like super small compared to previous plans and goals. Originally this show was created to connect and share tips to survive and thrive while keeping tiny humans (like multiples) alive. What I realized pretty quickly was everything I had to share was far from multiple specific! When I'm asked "how I do it" I share simple things I've learned from principles that apply to families of all kinds, not just multiples. In fact most of the people I wanted to interview didn't have multiples!
So why the shift? We are expecting our surprise baby #5 in May 2021. As excited and terrified as we are, its given me the chance to really reflect on what my priorities are and this podcast and all content creation isn't as important as it once was. I still want to share and enjoy sharing, but the focus will reflect what I'm currently doing in school and what I'm applying in life. I'm studying to earn and Marriage and Families Studies degree and at the end will be a Certified Family Life Educator. I could wait to teach what I've learned until after graduation, but its all so good that I can't wait that long! So, you get join with me while I learn! My form of teaching others and solidifying what is taught in school will be sharing through the podcast and right now, Instagram.
Thank you to those who have hung around the past four years through all the ups and downs. Let's cross our fingers this change sticks and grows into whatever my calling is suppose to be🤞🏻

Does this scene look familiar: Toddler runs to play room/area and dumps all the bins of toys only to stare at them, run away, and say they're bored. How can they be bored?! They have all the toys! That, my friends, could be sign of toy overwhelm. I had the chance to chat with ABA therapist and twin mom, Liz Van Hying, and she shared why our toddlers get toy overwhelm and how we can combat it.
Liz is no longer on social media once this episode released, but here is the link to her must have multiples item, the Love to Dream swaddle!

Does this experience sound familiar: Take child to grocery store and said child throw the biggest tantrum so you A) Threaten a spanking or B) Handover a sucker or phone just to get them to stop crying. What if you didn't have to resort to fear or bribery to get the behavior you need from your child? It's 1000% possible my friends through the proper use of rewards and establishing expectations BEFORE you even leave the house!

Do you ever have the impulse or feel your hand searching for your phone before you realize what's happening? It's probably time to have that DTR (determine the relationship) with your phone and put it back in it's place! My friends, this is my golden ticket. The number one thing I do to survive and thrive while keeping tiny humans alive. I have a serious social media addiction and it ruins my life and the lives of my loved ones when I don't use social media intentionally. I also know I'm not alone in this. I'm sharing some of the science behind WHY phones are so addicting and what are a few first steps to combat it.
I mentioned in the episode my favorite mental health podcast, The Virtual Couch, Tony recently shared an episode that goes into greater detail about compulsive and impulsive behavior.
I also hoped to find a link to the Zone of Sovereignty video I mentioned but it is a student only accessible video.
