Parenting today feels more overwhelming than ever. There's a constant flood of information, endless opinions on how to “get it right,” and yet—so many parents feel like they're doing it alone. This week on the podcast, we're joined by Gen Muir, a parent educator, social worker, and mum of four, to talk about how connection is at the heart of handling big feelings. Gen shares her expertise on making sense of meltdowns, managing bedtime struggles, and approaching fussy eating without stress—all while reminding parents that perfection isn't the goal; showing up with presence and care is what truly makes a difference.In This Episode, We Cover:The challenges of modern parenting – How increased information and reduced community support impact parents today.Building connection with your child – Simple but powerful ways to strengthen your bond such as playful gestures and non-verbal affirmations.Managing big feelings – Strategies for preventing and responding to meltdowns with empathy and calmness.Navigating bedtime struggles – How safety, routine, and emotional needs contribute to smoother nights.Supporting fussy eaters – Low-stress mealtime strategies that foster a healthy relationship with food.Flexibility and self-compassion in parenting – Why being kind to yourself helps you show up better for your child (because you're actually doing BETTER than you think!).Parenting isn't about having all the answers—it's about being present, responding with warmth, and giving yourself grace along the way. When we stop chasing unrealistic expectations and instead focus on building trust, creating safety, and meeting our children where they are, parenting becomes less of a battle and more of a journey we take together.Tune in for practical, heart-centered strategies to help you navigate your child's big feelings with calmness and ease.Connect with Gen Muir & Explore More Resources

You know that moment when your kid is in meltdown mode, you're barely holding it together, and before you can stop yourself "Just go to your room and think about what you've done!" flies out of your mouth? We've ALL been there.But time-outs don't actually teach emotional regulation. They teach kids that their big feelings are too much, that they have to handle them alone, or that they just need to get better at hiding their struggles.In this episode, I chat with Gen Muir, parent educator, obstetric social worker, mum of four, and the person I wish had been whispering in my ear when I first became a parent. Gen has worked with over 40,000 parents, helping them navigate tricky behaviours and big emotions using connection-based parenting strategies that actually work. And she's here to break down why time-outs aren't the magic fix we were told they were - and what actually helps. PLUS we've put together a free Kit on Handling Big Emotions & Time-Ins. Download HERE.We're covering:Why time-outs don't work - especially for neurodivergent kids What's actually happening in your child's brain when they're sent awayHow disconnection leads to more behaviour struggles (not fewer!)The skills kids really need to handle big feelings and how to teach themHow to set firm, loving boundaries - without feeling like they're running the showWhat to do when a meltdown makes the whole house feel like a war zoneResources Mentioned: Gen Muir - website and Instagram Little People, Big Feelings by Gen MuirBrick [not affiliated] Beyond the Chaos PodcastSibling Rivalry S2 Ep 4 with Gen Muir on Apple Podcasts or Spotify ADHD Mums Facebook GroupJOIN THE COMMUNITY:Have questions or want to connect with other ADHD mums?

In this episode of the Thriving Parenting Podcast, I engage in a detailed conversation with Gen, a Social Worker, parent educator, founder of Connected Parenting, Author of the new parenting bible Little People Big Feelings, Co-host of Beyond the Chaos Podcast, and Mum to four boys.Gen shares her personal experiences of raising four boys, highlighting that the transition from one to two children is often the most challenging for parents. She explains the reasons behind this difficulty, such as the need to manage the demands of two children at different developmental stages and the potential struggles of the older child in sharing attention and resources with a newborn. Gen also offers practical advice for parents to navigate this transition, including strategies for building connections with older children, setting and enforcing loving boundaries, and understanding the emotions behind difficult behaviors. She emphasises the importance of preparing oneself as a parent rather than focusing solely on preparing the child. The discussion also covers how small acts of connection and empathy can significantly impact a child's adjustment to a new sibling. Gen's insights aim to reassure parents that it's okay to feel overwhelmed and stressed during this period and that through patience, empathy, and consistent connection, families can find their rhythm and thrive.Get a copy of Little People, Big Feelings - https://www.amazon.com.au/Little-People-Big-Feelings-Muir/dp/1761266594/ref=asc_df_1761266594/Connect with Gen Muir:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/connectedparentingau/Website: https://www.connectedparenting.com.au/Watch my free empowerment video and in less than 20 mins, gain some healthy Instagram perspective to help you to stay clear and become mindful of the Instagram vortex.
