Joshua shares practical ways to set visible boundaries kids can understand, why parents go first, and how fewer toys often lead to better listening, deeper play, and more cooperation.This conversation also challenges the idea that “more” creates a better childhood.

As parents, we often expect ourselves to be completely calm – and even perfect – no matter what comes our way. Yet, in real life, it's all too easy to get stressed and reactive when parenting gets challenging. Internal and external demands can become overwhelming and knock us off center--and this can raise big feelings such as disappointment, anger, and self-doubt. So what are the secrets to creating the inner peace that lets us (more often than not) respond to parenting and other life demands with wisdom, calm, and grace? Today, I'm joined by parenting expert and MamaZen co-founder, Irin Rubin, who will help us explore this deeply important topic. Topics discussed include maternal depression, post-partum depression, perinatal depression, co-regulation, mindset, flooding, motherhood, parenting, support, hypnotherapy, CBT, cognitive behavioral therapy, mom rage, self-care, self-awareness, mindfulness, baby showers, community, well-being, and mental health.Please note that this episode may contain sensitive material; listener discretion is advised.Emergency Assistance Note: If you or someone you know needs immediate support, please call your emergency services.

Do you ever find yourself feeling less calm and confident as a parent, even though you're doing your best?

The sense of urgency in parenting often leads to reactive rather than creative problem-solving, posing unique challenges for both parents and children. Elaine and Diane, drawing from their personal experiences and insights, underscore the importance of recognizing and managing the signs of reactivity, such as hypervigilance or catastrophizing. Listen to this Parenting With Impact episode with Elaine and Diane as they discuss problem-solving. Ten Tips for Calm and Confident Parenting of Complex Kids Parenting complex kids can be difficult, even mind-numbing at times. In this FREE Guide you'll find clear, quick guidance to help you calm the chaos and more confidently prepare your child for greater independence and success! Learn techniques parents all over the world are using to reduce friction and (believe it!) rediscover the joy of parenting. UTM: https://impactparents.pages.ontraport.net/calm-confident-tipsheet?utm_campaign=Podcast&utm_source=episode&utm_medium=cta&utm_content=calm Here is what to expect on this week's show: Elaine and Diane understand as parents you must recognize when you are in a reactive state and make a conscious effort to shift towards a calmer mindset before addressing the issue at hand. This allows for more thoughtful and effective problem-solving. Practice pausing in interactions with your children to allow for reflection and emotional regulation. This space enables both parents and children to respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively. Elaine and Diane stress guiding your children through moments of discomfort instead of immediately rescuing them. By helping them navigate challenging emotions, you empower them to develop emotional self-regulation skills for the future.

Welcome to Tech and Teaching Tuesdays! In this episode, we tackle the crucial question: How can you ensure your child's online safety? Join me as I share technology tips tailored for toddlers to teens.   We kick things off by acknowledging the expansive digital landscape our kids are growing up in, moving beyond mere screen time management to establish early childhood boundaries. In middle childhood, the focus shifts to fostering critical thinking and online etiquette, utilizing the "Three W's" - Who, What, and Why - as a powerful tool for guiding your child's online behavior. Consider taping these questions as a friendly reminder inside the cover of their tablet or in their playroom.   Venturing into adolescence, a time of heightened emotions and rapid changes, we emphasize the significance of open communication and privacy awareness. Creating a digital contract with your teen, as discussed in Episode 12 and reiterated today, becomes a valuable tool outlining expectations, consequences, and fostering collaboration.   For those eager to dig deeper into tech safety and communication strategies, check out Episodes 12 and 13 of No Problem Parenting. Additionally, Episode 24 introduces an alternative to screens with Drew Vernon from Tonies.com, offering a screen-free, imagination-building experience for your little ones.   Stay tuned for our next episode, where we'll explore the delicate balance of determining the right amount of screen time for your child. Ensuring our children's online safety may be tricky, but putting in the effort early on will save you frustration in the long run. Remember, preparing our kids for the digital world is one of the most important parenting jobs in this digital era. It's the future, and we want to celebrate it more than fear it.   As a bonus resource, consider exploring Learning Success Academy's Teen Coaching for Success and Empowerment.

Parenting can be very challenging. Taking care of another human being's physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual well-being comes with significant responsibility. Each child has unique needs, and every stage of life presents fresh challenges and a multitude of decisions to make. Amid the complexities of our world, our own personal struggles, and the difficulties we encounter with our children, we can be easily overwhelmed. Maintaining a sense of confidence in our parenting abilities might appear unattainable. Instead of being confident, we can find ourselves doubting our competence and wondering whether we possess the necessary qualities to effectively parent our children. However, God has some encouraging news for uncertain parents. God has not left us to navigate the parenting challenges alone. As Christians, we have what it takes because Jesus lives in us! In this episode, Ross O'Hair and Connie Brezina share how to parent confidently by depending on God's indwelling, empowering, and guiding presence. By choosing to rely on Him in our roles as parents, we discover the secret to Godly, confident parenting. --- Have a question or comment about this podcast? We want to hear from you.

Today I have the pleasure of talking with Parent & Enneagram Coach, Valerie Tih on The Heartful Parent Podcast! She is the founder of JoyFULL Coaching and she frames her work around helping parents who feel frustrated by the gap between who they want to be as a parent and the day-to-day reality of parenting. Valerie transforms outdated parenting paradigms into research-based Positive Discipline frameworks based on the latest brain science, the Enneagram, and best practices. Valerie and I have a lot of overlap with our work with Positive Discipline, but today we are talking about how your Enneagram number can begin to bridge how you show up in hard moments with the parent you want to be. Enneagram does more than tell you about your personality; when used properly, it can shed a lot of light on your strengths AND your “blindspots”. In this episode, Valerie explains all this and gives practical tips (and an acronym!) to help us become more calm and confident in our parenting.  Get more from Valerie by following her on Instagram @joyfullcoaching, Facebook - JoyFULL Coaching, and LinkedIn - Valerie Tih.
