The Mommy Whisperer

In the new year, we always seem to hear the phrase New Year, New You.The new year is all about reinventing ourselves and setting aside who we are right now to become something even better. And although I do believe that personal growth and development and continually becoming something better than we were yesterday is a hugely important part of life, I believe it's also important to love and accept ourselves along the way.So what if this year, we started out by deciding to really get to know ourselves and accept ourselves and love ourselves for everything we are–our strengths and our weaknesses, our good parts and our no-so-good parts. Do you really know yourself?  And do you really accept yourself for exactly who you are? If you're not sure, listen to this episode and hopefully become inspired to look at yourself a little differently this year!

The holidays can be a stressful time for just about anyone, but if you're a separated or divorced parent, adding that in on top of what you already have going on adds another level of stress. Now you have to navigate separate household schedules, extended family expectations, both parents wanting to spend as much time with your child as possible during this special time, along with all of the emotional stuff you still might be working through.Holiday co-parenting can be so tough.  You are no longer married to your child's other parent, yet you have to deal with them a lot, especially during the holidays. But the thing is, you and your child deserve a happy, low-stress holiday. So... in this episode, I talk about 5 tips that will help make your holiday co-parenting more healthy and less stressful for both you and your child.

Expressing (and receiving) gratitude has even greater benefits than you might have known.  Not only does it help us to create a more positive mental outlook, but it can enhance our physical and emotional health as well. There are so many studies that have been done about the benefits of gratitude, and I sum it all up for you here. With this new knowledge of the greatness of gratitude and how it can benefit us in our daily lives, I hope we bring these lessons to our children so that they can reap the benefits of a better, more grateful life as well.  I also give you a couple simple ideas on how you can implement some easy gratitude practices with your family.Do you have questions or concerns about your child?  Let me be your mom coach, if even for just 30 minutes.  You might be surprised how much we can figure out for you and your family in just 30 minutes.

Being the first generation of mothers to parent the use of cell phones, we are just starting to learn the effects that social media is having on our children.  Cyberbullying is part of it, yes, but a much larger part of it is the endless scrolling as our children sit there and compare themselves to others all day long.  This simple act is causing our children's anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts to skyrocket.  In this episode, I give you a few things you can do to help lessen the effects of social media on your child.  If you want the very simple, editable cell phone contract I use with my children, please visit  https://the-mommywhisperer.com/podcast-mentionables/Do you have questions or concerns about your child?  Let me be your mom coach, if even for just 30 minutes.  You might be surprised how much we can figure out for you and your family in just 30 minutes.

Have you ever thought about the fact that we are the first generation of parents to ever parent the use of cell phones?  I think that deserves a badge of honor!   In this episode, we talk about using cell phone contracts with our children.  This is something you might want to consider if you don't already have one in place.  Just like everything else in life we are expected to teach our children, the use of smartphones is no different.  Your child will not automatically know how to use their phone safely and responsibly.  You must teach them.  It's important to think through how you want their smartphone usage to look and make sure it is communicated to your child in a clear way and reviewed often.  I believe a contract is the best way to do this.If you want the very simple, editable cell phone contract I use with my children, please visit  https://the-mommywhisperer.com/podcast-mentionables/Do you have questions or concerns about your child?  Let me be your mom coach, if even for just 30 minutes.  You might be surprised how much we can figure out for you and your family in just 30 minutes.

Today I am talking about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and what in the world this has to do with marriage.  This concept was introduced by Dr. John Gottman who has written books about how these certain communication styles, that he has named The Four Horsemen, if allowed to run rampant in a relationship, are lethal.  They usually enter a relationship in a certain order, and if allowed to stay there, that marriage or relationship will most likely fail.  I'm hoping this information will help you develop an awareness of these signs so you can get help to fight them off if you see them. Do you have questions or concerns about your relationship?  Let me be your mom coach, if even for just a free call.  You might be surprised how much we can figure out for you and your family in just 30 minutes.

Today we are talking about how important your words of praise and encouragement are to your child.  Praise is so good for your child's confidence and sense of self.  It also makes them want to repeat the behaviors you praised them for, usually.  Praise really works.  It's what kids need. Watch your discouraged child start to change before your eyes.  Although there are better ways than others to praise your child, which we talk about, I truly believe any praise is better than no praise at all. There are a lot of experts out there telling us way too many rules about the right way and the wrong way to praise a child, but if it comes from your heart, you really can't go wrong. If you aren't sure where to begin praising and encouraging your child in the best way possible, you can visit my website, the-mommywhisperer.com, to find some great Words of Genuine Praise to get you started.  Also, if you want to learn how you can help change your teenager's high school experience and future, come to my Free Workshop:  How to help your high school student earn college credits without changing schools or adding hours to their day.  This is information all parents need to know! https://the-mommy-whisperer.mykajabi.com/collegecredits You can also access the workshop from my website. https://the-mommywhisperer.com/ Do you have questions or concerns about your child?  Let me be your mom coach, if even for just 30 minutes.  You might be surprised how much we can figure out for you and your family in just 30 minutes.

Did you know that sometimes your child feels completely pressured to go somewhere or do something with a friend and that they absolutely don't want to do?  We might think that because they're calling us or texting us to ask to go somewhere with their friend or stay longer at their house, that that is something they want to do.  But a lot of times, it isn't what they want; they just don't know how to get out of a situation themselves.  So this is when THE CODE works brilliantly.  It is something that I encourage you to put in place with your child.  It really will be needed someday and maybe even multiple times in their life.  The Code can be a fantastic secret weapon that will not only get your child out of some sticky situations, but it can also be a fun undercover-like bonding thing they have with you!  Listen to this episode to learn all about it.Want to change your teenager's high school experience and future?  CLICK HERE to come to my Free Workshop:  How to help your high school student earn college credits without changing schools or adding hours to their day.

This is part two of last week's episode.  We talk about the fact that all behavior actually occurs for a social purpose.  We, as humans, are decision making social beings whose main goal in life is to belong.  Each of us ultimately wants to find and maintain a place of significance in our lives.  We try to find beliefs and feelings and behaviors that we think might help us gain some significance, or some belonging.  Also on this episode, we talk about the four main reasons for misbehavior.  Misbehaving children are discouraged for reasons that we have to figure out as their mom.  They do not believe they can belong in useful ways, so they try to belong through their misbehaviors.  This is powerful information, because once we discover the goal of our child's misbehavior, we are then in a position to begin redirecting our child for the better.To watch my interview with Adam Schwarz, realtor, vlogger, and creator of Good Things in Riverside, click here.Do you need help figuring out what's behind your child's misbehaviors?  Come talk to me.  Sign up for a 30-minute FREE Coaching Call with The Mommy Whisperer.  Go to https://the-mommywhisperer.com/

A mother who understands her child's behaviors and misbehaviors is in a much better position to influence her child.  Did you know that when a child misbehaves, he is asking “Do you love me?”  And your response holds all the power.  Also in this episode, we talk about subconsciously labeling our children.  I share a personal story of how I did this for years without even realizing it.  If you want to crack the code on your child, you won't want to miss this.Do you need help figuring out what's behind your child's misbehaviors?  Come talk to me.  Sign up for a 30-minute FREE Coaching Call with The Mommy Whisperer.  Go to https://the-mommywhisperer.com/

Kids are smart.  From a very young age, they know what each parent will let them get away with and they even know how to pit parents against each other, if needed, to get their way.  It seems as though they sometimes love to divide and conquer, and they have almost a sixth sense to know exactly where parents might disagree.  And the thing is, none of this is the child's fault.  Every child does this to some extent.  Every child looks for the cracks in the foundation at some time in their childhood.  Even the best most obedient kids will test to see if the front is indeed united.  It is up to parents to make sure that your children cannot succeed at dividing you.  Listen to this episode for more information on how to build a united front.For personalized, efficient and effective mommy help, sign up for a 30-minute FREE Coaching Call with The Mommy Whisperer.  Go to https://the-mommywhisperer.com/
