Not So Normal Parenting
59 | The #1 Parenting Strategy for Reducing Tantrums and Behavior Issues (Backed by Research)

Not So Normal Parenting

What if one parenting technique could reduce whining, tantrums, and interruptions by up to 80%? In this episode, we dive into the research-backed power of planned ignoring, based on the work of Dr. Alan Kazdin of the Yale Parenting Center. Research from Yale's Parenting Center shows that planned ignoring—when used correctly with consistent positive attention—can reduce negative behaviors in children by up to 80%. But here's the deal—planned ignoring only works when paired with intentional, strength-based attention. And take a guess where you can get a detailed roadmap of your child's unique strengths? My website of course. Head to WendyGossett.com  and take the free Child Temperament Test—then grab a copy of my best-selling book, Your Child's Inner Drive: Parenting by Personality from Toddlers to Teens. It's your go-to guide for raising your child with insight, intention, and confidence. Learn how to strategically withdraw attention from negative behavior while building stronger bonds through positive reinforcement. With examples, step-by-step guidance, and real talk on what actually works, this episode will transform the way you parent today.

She has over 10,000 hours of experience in education, both in the classroom and corporate sector. Even though she holds a Master's degree in education, she struggled to understand her neurodivergent and oppositional kids.  Inspired by her experience using Myers Briggs and the Enneagram with business teams, she spent over a decade researching temperament pattens to help family teams. She is a best-selling author and host of the Not So Normal Parenting podcast.   Her podcast is entitled Not So Normal Parenting because not only are she and her kids neurodivergent but some of her life experiences, such as driving off a cliff her wedding night and going viral for embarrassing her seventeen-year old son by dancing on a snowy and jammed interstate, fall into that category. In addition to being talked about by Hoda Kotb, the BackStreet Boys, and Princess Kate, even U2 singer Bono mentioned the incident in his autobiography.   Because Wendy herself has struggled as a helicopter parent, a cranky parent and an embarrassing parent, she wants to help other parents struggle……..a little bit less!

From a very young age we start to develop notions or beliefs of ourselves, the world around us, and how we relate to the world. Some of these beliefs are supportive and healthy but many of them don't serve us at all and can severely limit our ability to succeed in any or all aspects of our lives. People experience long term financial problems, depression, social anxiety, stage fright, eating disorders, phobias, procrastination, shyness, fear of public speaking, the inability to form healthy relationships, and many other fear based problems. The thoughts related to these notions are often unconscious and most people don't recognize them or if they do they've become so habitual and familiar that we don't question them. But they determine our behavior, our emotions, and our reality. Today's guest has dedicated her professional life to helping people identify and overcome these negative thought patterns.   Shelly Lefkoe has assisted over 12,000 people to transform their lives using a system she developed known as The Lefkoe Method. She is the co-founder and vice president of the Lefkoe Institute, and the Founder and President of the Possibilities of Parenting Center. Shelly is a speaker, a workshop leader, the author of Parenting the Lefkoe Way, and co-author of Chicken Soup for the Soul: Guide to Effective Parenting. The Lefkoe Method has been featured in The New York Times, NBC, ABC, FOX, and The Huffington Post.

Imagine not seeing your family for over eight years. This is the reality that some women face when placed at Bedford Hills Maximum Security Prison for Women. I spent my summer interning at the Parenting Center, which provides support and advocacy for the women housed at Bedford. I helped coordinate their summer program which brings children, from all over New York State, to the prison for four days in order to visit with their mothers. The children enter the prison during the day, and at night go home with a host family who houses them for the time span of the program. The summer opened my eyes to a whole new world that I had never seen. I plan to take the knowledge that I gained this summer and apply it to my continued work with children and parents in the future.
