Parenting In The Thick Of It with Louise Clarke

I think it safe to say that all parents see their child as a gift, however, just how big a gift they really see them as, might be a tad underestimated. If you have a strong-willed or controlling child, a child who doesn't listen, one who procrastinates or forgets things, one who is sensitive or anxious perhaps, in fact, any make up at all, the gift in this, for us having to deal with it, is HUGE. But only if we are brave, courageous and bold enough to see it for what it really is. If you want to understand this more, and raise your parenting bar as a result of it, then tune in because the gift goes way beyond what you think... In this episode, I read the poem, The Gift by Dr Shefali Tsabary - found in her amazing book The Awakened Family, page 175 and 176 FOLLOW ME ONLINE HERE: Website: https://yourparentingpartner.com/ Book: Parenting The Modern Teen: https://go.yourparentingpartner.com/parenting-the-modern-teen Parenting In The Thick Of It Family Organizer: https://parentinginthethickofit.com/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/louiseclarke.ypp Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourparentingpartner/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqdQ1_fC72bKutwr5EfavQA Twitter: https://twitter.com/YPPartner Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.ca/louiseclarkeyourparentingpartn/ Medium: https://medium.com/@mlouiseclarke iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/parenting-in-the-thick-of-it-with-louise-clarke/id1358492950 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3pZfkJuOlQNohr4EqA0ivR

We spend so much time worrying about the fact our kids don't listen to us, yet rarely do we stop and ask ourselves, “How good am I at listening”? The braver we can be in admitting that sometimes our behaviour as parents might be questionable, the better we can become at raising our bars. When we can do this, things truly change for the better.

Before we go any further, IT'S OKAY. You are not alone; we have all done it and do a really good job of it! However, there are things we “should” do and get good at off the back of it all and in today's show, I talk you through it. This is not to be missed. And please, if you haven't already listened to episodes 611 and 612, listen to them first as they are an important piece of it all. Curious?

For me, this is my number one goal in parenting. I think that it is one of THE, if not the most important thing we can hope to do, try to do more, and become really good at. Realistically, I don't think it is possible to never lose your shit – we are human after all. However, if you want to get better at this and hone the skills needed to do it well, then this one is for you. Do make sure you listen to episode 611 first though. And next time, I will be talking about what to do when you've lost your shit!!

No matter what you do, you end up losing it! You keep calm for so long and boom... you snap. If you are a regular listener of the show you'll know that I don't believe it's your kids who trigger you! Their behavior in the moment ignites a previous emotional experience within you (the actual trigger) from when you were a child where you were not seen, heard, understood, made to feel you were good enough or matter or a combination thereof. LONG story... so what do you do? In this episode I talk about the behavior and what you can do in the moment. In part 2, next week, I will talk about what you can do to prepare for these moments.

It is all too easy to get drawn into an argument with your child, however, it rarely works. Actually, I might go as far as saying that it NEVER works. So, what typically happens when this occurs in your home? Do you: A: Argue Back B: Take it Personally C: Shout and Get Mad D: Right the Right to be Right E: All of the Above? In the show today, I discuss what we should do and how when we do this we will remain connected to our kids versus becoming reactive and disconnecting from them. Curious?

What do you do when your kid refuses to see things through the same lens as you? They come up with all sorts of crazy ideas and reasons to try and get their way because the bottom line is usually this: they don't want rules and limits regarding their internet use and they know themselves just how addicted they are to their phones so anyone who tells them to get off them is a threat to their very existence. Their phones are their lifelines so how do we get our kids to drink our tech plan Kool-Aid? Curious?

“Controlling” our kid's media diets through limiting their mobile data is fast becoming a thing of the past. So how on earth do we hope to do it when so many of the plans are all inclusive and unlimited? I'm going to be 100% honest here and say that it's hard and the older your kids are, the harder it's going to be. Period. There are, however, ways to do it and in today's episode, I discuss them all.

Are you a good negotiator? Have you actually ever thought about it related to parenting? The bottom line is this: being really good at negotiating is an extremely useful skill to have in your parenting toolbox. In this episode, I discuss this, the importance of negotiating, scheduling and accounting for your child's time in relation to how many potential hours there actually are for being online. And the rules. Yes, there have to be rules! I think that these three steps are genius and oh so helpful for parents. Curious?

Welcome to my podcast book club series on the book The Tech Diet for your Child and Teen by Brad Marshall. How many hours are too many? How will I know what the signs are? These are tough questions to answer and when all is said and done, some parents panic too soon whilst others don't panic soon enough. In this chapter (5), the author discusses 5 key developmental milestones that kids simply must meet. When one or two of these 5 domains get compromised, the result is not good, and it snowballs quickly. In my opinion, this chapter is gold for parents, and I hope you get as much out of it as I did.

For this generation, social media is HUGE and I feel it has got to the point where they can't live without it but at the same time, are struggling to live with it. It hooks them in and creates anxiety for them when they are in it, chasing perfection and constantly comparing themselves to others. And at the same time, they are anxious when they are off it for the fear it creates of missing out. FOMO is rampant. So how do we manage it? We have to understand it. And then there's the video games and everything that comes with that, including gambling. Having read The Tech Diet, I confess to being ignorant regarding online gambling and the amount of it. It's not to be sniffed at and be blissfully unaware of. You must know about this stuff if you want to be able to help your kids navigate it. Curious? Tune in as I discuss chapters 3 and 4 in the book: The Psyche Science of Social Media and Is your Child Gambling Online?

When I asked my son to describe his generation, he came up with “Generation NOW” which I found fascinating. He went on to say “mum, we can't wait for anything because we are so used to getting everything NOW!”. I actually think it's such an appropriate description. Generation Smartphone is also a great name because it says it all and the speed at which smartphones have totally changed how we live is scary. Welcome to Part 1 in my new podcast book club series on the book The Tech Diet for your Child and Teen by Brad Marshall. Over the next couple of months, I will be going through each chapter of this book highlighting all you need to know in order to come up with a media plan that is actually implementable, practical and works. In today's episode, we discuss smartphones, the research and the science. Do you understand how dopamine works? It certainly helps, so tune in… The links to buy the book can be found below.

In this digital age, there is one thing that has fast become the scarcest commodity… and it begins with A. Being able to manage this is, without a shadow of doubt, one of the most important skills kids today must develop. And because of this, we have lost our capacity to tolerate solitude. The knock-on effects of it are far-reaching and not good. I hope I have piqued your interest and that you will tune in and find out. Trust me, you will not regret becoming aware of this.

Are you aware of the stories you create about your child and their behavior? And do you realize that whatever the situation is that it's not the situation that causes you to react but the story you tell yourself about it?

I think that this might be one of the hardest things to have to do as a parent. When everything is telling you to fight against the bad behavior or poor choice in behavior, that you need to accept it… are you kidding me? No! “But it doesn't make sense” I hear you say. “I'm sorry, I can't accept it!” If you want to change anything, fighting it will not work so the only alternative is to first accept it.

The subject of judgment really intrigues me. Where does it come from and why on earth do we do it? And more importantly, what are the ill-effects of our judgment on our children?

Oh, wouldn't it be nice if our kids came with a handbook, so we would know exactly what to do in any given situation! The sad reality is that when we screw up as parents or we just don't know what to do, it leaves us feeling like we are not good enough and even question whether we are really cut out to do this thing called parenting.

No sooner is your child home from a sleepover and they are asking for another, with a different friend. If you say "No" you are the worst, and nastiest parent in the world. And as they get older, you might not even know the parents! What do you do? What is reasonable? How do you deal with the pushback? It can be hard to navigate and keep your cool. In this episode, I talk through many aspects of sleepovers that I feel need to be considered and what you might consider doing to help you better manage them and find more balance. Tune in...

I felt called to record this episode today off the back of THE Oscar performance last Sunday night. What an unfortunate chain of events... However, more disturbing to me is the outpour of criticism, shame, judgment and righteousness off the back of it. Where is compassion and empathy in all of this and what is this "reaction" to it all teaching our kids? Whether either of their behaviours were right or wrong, the backlash is, in my books, even worse. Are we all so perfect that we never get triggered and say or do something we, with hindsight, wish we hadn't? And seriously, is taking away his Oscar going to make it all better? I discuss all of this and how we can help our kids not dial into this human drama and instead turn to curiosity, compassion and empathy. We have to role model this and lead the way and right now, I don't think that, collectively, enough of us are doing this. Do tune in...

Seeing our kids struggling, emotionally or physically, is hard for parents to witness. In fact, sometimes it's so hard and uncomfortable for us that we just try to fix things to avoid the “pain” for US in having to sit in it with our kids. But this way of dealing with it does our kids no favours at all. It actually denies them the opportunity of developing some much-needed life skills. Which ones?

I am always intrigued to ask parents this question and see what their response is! Have you ever given it much thought? What do you want for your kids? Not surprisingly, most parents reply with a “I just want my kid to be HAPPY + SUCCESSFUL”. Maybe you want this as well? In this episode, I discuss the pitfalls with this way of thinking.

This is something that many parents suffer from and struggle with, and something that, according to Margaret J. Wheatley, creates “a cauldron of self-hatred that destroys us”.

How can a child be connected yet disconnected? And if today's kids are so connected, then what's the problem I hear you ask? It's what they are connected to that's the problem and the cost of it.

It's a roller coaster of a ride and yes, there are the ups, which are amazing, but there are also the downs, which are usually not so amazing. And inevitably, the downs last longer and tend to keep us mired in the thick of it, chained to the overwhelm, frustration and feelings of low energy and dis-ease. Today on the show I discuss this and what you can do to get out of it, change the way you show up and eradicate some of the challenges you are facing, and discuss how you might feel when you do so. Do you want to feel better, and experience more joy, grace, ease, flow, and fun? Sound too good to be true?

If you were to write down what constitutes a “good” parent, what would you write? And the same goes for a “bad” parent? What is good and bad anyway? In my humble opinion, they are merely labels containing lashings of judgment! The question is do you believe the label, and do you want to be a good parent? How can you be a good parent? How can you raise your bar and step into the “good” parent's shoes? That's if there is such a thing!

Who knew that courage was something that we can instil in our kids just by the language we choose to use with them! It is so vital that parents learn how to do this because by continuing to praise our kids, we do them no favours at all. Carol Dweck, the author of Mindset, has researched this and more and the results are conclusive and fascinating. In today's episode, I discuss this and more. Don't miss it!

On the face of it, I think most parents would agree that this makes sense, yes? But do you do it because many of us, inadvertently do too much for our kids? I know that there are times where I have done this with or for my kiddos. Sure, I realize that it all depends on the definition of too much. However, I really try my utmost to make sure my wanting to “fix it” for them does not become debilitating for them and negatively impact what they think of themselves because it can all too easily become so.

It can be hard to tolerate the pushback and not give in, especially when you have a strong-willed kid who pushes you on everything. Giving in doesn't do anyone any favours, least of all your child as it actually denies them from developing the very thing they need. Resilience.

It is so important that we are highly tuned to parenting each child in ways that work. To do this well we have to know them inside out and outside in. And we have to know ourselves this way too. And we have to be able to be so present to each moment. So much to take in but so important that you do. Each and every moment.

What do you think happens in your child's mind when you think you are right, and you tell them? They think they are wrong! And how does it feel when you feel that you are wrong? Not good! So how can we learn to meet our kids beyond the confines of right and wrong and what can we do instead? I believe it has to start with looking at why we might need to be right, where does this come from?

Ooohh how I love the subject of judgment: What it is? Why we do it and the root of it? Does any good come from judgment? Probably not. What I do know is this: we are crazy to judge ourselves based on someone else's behaviour, especially a child's or worse a teenager's because at the end of the day we can't control it!! Isn't it crazy to think that we do this? Good lord, we find it difficult enough to control our own behavior never mind judge ourselves on someone else's.

At this time of the year, I love looking at the deciduous trees changing the colour of their leaves and contemplating letting go of them. They inherently know how and when to do this, and we can really learn from them. How do you let go of things or thoughts? Have you ever really thought about it? One thing I know is this: you can't let go of something that you resist, and it is only through accepting what is that you might be able to start to “let go”. Curious?

There's only one person you can change and trust me, it's not your kid! And the more you try and change them, the less they will change. So, if you can't change them, what can you do?
