In this guest conversation, I talk with Kimball Lewis of Empowering Parents a second time (first was episode 252) about a specific behavior: lying. He shares how to navigate it in your home as well as the keys to effective consequences. This episode is up on video as well as a blog post. As we address why it happens and what you can do about it, he shares several key elements to ensure you create a culture of honesty and integrity in your home. Lying isn't just reserved for children - we can be guilty of it throughout our lives. And my first tip for parents with any behavior they don't like in their home is to first look in the mirror.

All of us have some kind of wounding when it comes to the ways we were raised. Whether you had overtly neglectful or abusive parents, or parents who had the best of intentions but still passed on unhealthy habits, the wounds we receive impact us and the way we parent our own kids. Christina Fox shares how the way we were parented distorts our image of God, but how correcting that image can help us see more clearly who God truly is as our perfect parent. She also discusses the difference between punishment and discipline, and details how understanding the way God coaches us can help us to set more effective standards with our own kids.

All parents have had the moment when their child tells a super obvious lie (because they're not good at it.. at ALL) and they wonder "has my child turned into a liar?? Is this the fast track to rebellion??? Juvenile detention, here we come!" The truth is that all kids go through a lying phase. Most don't end up in the clink because of it. However, nipping the lying in the bud is really important. Our guest, Kimball Lewis is the CEO of Empowering Parents and is here to share 3 easy things parents can do to keep the lying at bay! Enjoy!
In this episode, we interviewed Kimball Lewis who is the CEO of empoweringparents.com. He talked to us about difficult behavior in children, what to do when your kids don't like you, and how to give consequences that are going to result in good behavior. Our biggest take away was learning to give consequences that result in our kids learning a skill rather than just doing time. We've definitely gotten some eye rolls in the process, but it helps our kids learn what to do better next time. You can find Kimball Lewis at https://www.empoweringparents.com/.

Parenting itself is hard enough - trying to figure it out with your ex? That can be downright brutal. You ex might not have the same parenting style that you do, and might not be open to your feedback about it. What then? How can we manage behavioural issues with our children between two homes? What if the kids are playing us against each other to get their own way? (hint: they are!) What if my co-parent doesn't have the same rules that I do? In this episode we discuss these questions and other co-parenting problems with author and speaker, Kimball Lewis. He explains how we can still maintain boundaries and discipline with our kids even between two homes. He shares some tips and practical examples of what to say to kids in these situations.

Divorce is complex and traumatic to all parties involved, especially for the children. Co-parenting adds a whole other layer of challenges, especially when behavioral problems arise in children and you're not on the same page with your ex. In this episode, I share the screen and engage in valuable conversation with Kimball Lewis, the CEO of EmpoweringParents.com. Lewis shares timeless and practical parenting advice to help parents manage the most challenging child behavior problems. Key points in this episode: ✔️ Kids who act out have difficulty in problem-solving. Lewis cites these are emotional troubles dealing with frustration, anger, and issues that kids don't necessarily understand why they act out as a result. In addition, they may have functional problems and have a hard time meeting responsibilities like getting up and going to school or putting the video game down. ✔️ Blaming your co-parent for your child's behavior doesn't do your child any good. Children see themselves as an extension of both parents. So when you're blaming the other parent, you're essentially creating more issues with your kids instead of treating them as an individual. ✔️ Put accountability on your child, and they'll have a much better chance of improving. Lewis shares, "you're not responsible for your child's behavior. Your child is. If you want to keep the accountability on your child, what you're responsible for is your response to it. There are effective and ineffective responses, but don't consider the child's behavior as your fault. The child needs to be held accountable, and that's how they're going to learn to behave better." ✔️ Stop participating in an argument with your child. When your child's arguing against your rules, and you've explained yourself once, you don't have to have that argument any longer. You can say, "look, these are the rules you need to comply with, or else there will be consequences tomorrow. We can sit down for 20 minutes, and we can talk about it. We'll schedule it out." ✔️ Applying consequence is not a punishment. Instead, you're helping to train and teach your child how to behave and solve problems appropriately. Although it may not work the first time, you're going to have to keep applying these things, so if you use a consequence and then the child does it again the next day, it doesn't mean that it's not working. You have to keep applying it right. ✔️ Don't take their behavior personally. Lewis reminds this even when they swear at you because they're not solving the problems effectively, and you end up being the recipient of it. For example, they could be repeating something that the other spouse told them that they should and have no business knowing, and they'll use it against you to solve their problem, which is to get out of responsibility or out of frustration. So you can't take it personally, and you have to view it as a behavior problem. ✔️ EmpoweringParents.com provides a total transformation program called "Two Parents, One Plan" that serves as an instruction manual to help separated parents deal with defiant kids.

A parent's protective nature is often at odds with preparing our kids for adulthood and handling any problems that come their way. Our intention is to lovingly protect them from harm and struggle, but not experiencing struggle means they're not prepared to do for themselves and handle the basic problems of life. In this episode of the Parenting ADHD Podcast, CEO of EmpoweringParents.com, Kimball Lewis, shares insight into why this generation of teens and young adults don't seem prepared and strategies to prepare kids to be successfully independent. It's ideal to start young, very young, but it's never too late for change. Whether your child is 7 or 17, this episode has great wisdom for you.
