Happy Thursday Mamas! Welcome back to another episode! In their latest episode titled "Empathy Over Judgment: Nurturing a Supportive Mom Community," Amaris and Kathy address the viral TikTok controversy sparked by a corporate working mom's polarizing comments. The duo reflects on the complexities of motherhood, acknowledging their own struggles in navigating the lack of a supportive village. They delve into the damaging effects of comparison in motherhood journeys, emphasizing the importance of understanding each mother's unique circumstances. Amaris and Kathy advocate for an end to mom-shaming, rejecting the notion that one type of motherhood is inherently harder than another. While the TikTok mom issued an apology video, Amaris remains unconvinced of its authenticity, given the initial divisive remarks. Despite the removal of the original video, the episode highlights the lasting impact of insensitive rhetoric and the need for a more inclusive and empathetic mom community. Follow us on our socials

It can sometimes take multiple experiences.It's always us, as parents, it's so critical to understand the dynamic of how you are dealing with your child.We are still at the beginning of understanding children. This requires stepping out of old paradigms and looking for what works for you and your child.Ask yourself, is what you are currently doing working? And if not, what can you do to shift the lens on what you are doing?Why ADHD children usually have sleep struggles.Kids need different things, some need approval, and others need power.Your child is not always seeking attention from you.Look at your behavior and past experiences as a parent. This affects your child.Children don't learn cognitively first. They learn from experiences.Learn more about Joe Newman - Raising Lions https://www.raisinglions.com/Youtube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@raising_lionsBio - Joe Newman likes kids with attitude because he was one. In 1970 he was diagnosed with ADHD & medicated.

He teaches parents and teachers simple, practical methods to understand and motivate all our children. In 2018 UCSB conducted a year-long study on how his method improved student behavior, motivation, and engagement in Pre-K through 6th-grade classrooms.

In this mini-episode, we are discussing two different sides of tantrums or behavior our kiddos have with school vs. home. I have received both sides of this question where the kiddo does great at home but not and school and vice versa. In this episode, I am guiding you like I would if we were doing 1:1 coaching to help you ask the right questions to see why this behavior is happening and how to help you navigate how to help with these.We discuss why my child's different behaviors are happening, home vs. school:Guides to help with the different behaviors between home and schoolEvery child is different, so this is just a guide.We go over children that don't have tantrums at home but do at school.Question to ask, what is your child's school learning environment and teaching style? What challenges are there for your child, and are they being challenged enough?Get the data on how they act at school; name it. And then see when it's happening. This will require sitting with their teacher to better understand where it's coming from.Find out if your kiddo is having issues sharing closer to lunchtime or when they are more tired at the end of the day.Consider adjusting bedtimes, adding more to their lunches, or maybe a snack is needed.Get a plan in place to see about changing this behavior before labeling them bad.Remember that kiddos are very accommodated at home; they don't deal with wait times like at school.I remind parents that the issues children are dealing with are challenging for them to communicate with us.We must help our children build resilience, help them tolerate frustration, and develop problem-solving skills.Question to ask, especially for parents of neurodivergent children, are they in a place where they will thrive, or are they just trying to survive?Make sure to dig deeper into why the behavior is happening before putting all the blame on the school.Remember that school, in general, is designed for kids to conform.Why kids are acting up at home and not at school.Kids see other kids conforming, which can be overwhelming for your kiddos to follow, so when they get home to their safe place, they feel safe to express what they need and let their guard down. This results in tantrums and bad behaviors.It might be a good idea to see if there is a different class to help where it's more your child's speed.It's a compliment to you as a parent when your child has tantrums or expresses hard emotions. It indicates they feel comfortable at home to do this.When a child acts up at home and not at school, it's usually because they know the structure there. They can't get away with it.Think about your boundaries in your home. Are you setting them and holding them, or are you repeating yourself repeatedly?Is there an agreement on parenting styles with your partner? If not, your child can be lost on what to do.Kids need a predictable outcome from both parents, even if they don't like it.How are you connecting with your child throughout the day? Are you on your phone or computer when answering them? Are you asking them questions, being curious, and paying your full attention to them?Make sure you are validating their feelings about the boundaries you are setting for them.Look at the structure and routine of your home structure. If you have hectic mornings daily, this is setting your day up that way. Too much scheduled, too much snacking before bedtime, need to adjust bedtimes. Look at all these routines to see what you can help adjust to make it easier.Every family's situation is so different. You should not be overwhelmed every day. If you are, reach out for help; 1:1 coaching, check with your doctor, mom groups, or carve out time for yourself.Resources:I have 2 - 1: 1 coaching spots opening up at the end of April.

This episode is packed with examples of how to help you get off the Repeat and Warning train which eventually leads to yelling and feeling guilty. We go over the framework on how to help be consistent and get your kiddos to cooperate, toddlers to teenagers.

Understanding how you are responding to the situation is helpful in changing it. Why you end up yelling to get your children to listen.

Pinpoint what it is that you keep repeating over and over, then come up with an action to assign with the direction you are giving. The difference between time out and taking a break. We go over an example of how to practice being consistent with your words. A parent's biggest superpower is staying calm. Why validating their emotion is important, from toddlers to teenagers.
