It can be hard to remain positive in the face of negativity, but I believe there is a way to help our kids navigate their way out of this frame of mind. Knowing certain things about our negativity bias and developing the skill to be able to reframe things, use empathy + curiosity, we can help ease our kids from negativity into a better mindset.

I want to ask you this: Does you having expectations of your child mean that the expectation will play out? And how might you having this expectation impact your child? And what happens when this expectation doesn't come to fruition? Who suffers? This is a topic that I spend hours discussing with those who work with me, in both my one-on-one coaching and in my group coaching programs. If you are curious, I'd recommend you listen to this.

When we “give” something to someone, technically the object becomes theirs, right? So, with this in mind, what's the deal when the gift is a phone? Does the phone become your child's or is it yours? If it is theirs, what then is your role in managing it or trying to manage it?

The ability to disagree respectfully and resolve conflict amicably are skills that don't always come easily to us. In this episode, I discuss why I think this is, and what we can do to hone and refine our skills and in so doing, role model them to our kids. Quite frankly, I was crap at this and have got much, much better at it and guess what? My kids are really quite good at it, in fact, at times still better than me. LOL. Curious as to how I did it?

Feeling our feelings is such an important part of being able to navigate them and use them to guide us. The problem is, when we are resisting our reality and operating from FEAR mode, we can't access other feelings and subsequently miss the lessons they might give us.

Trust me, THIS skill is so vital and yet it is often not the focus of our attention, and it should be.

I regularly hear from parents that they are worried about their child lacking confidence and how do they help them become more confident. It can be scary to see a child not be able to do something that we know they are capable of, so how do we handle it? In today's episode, I share with you tips on how to do this. And, apologies for the “cat” background noise, I have a Harry Houdini of a cat who despite being shut out, still manages to get into places and disrupt the peace!!

Do you believe that your kids “should” only have to be asked once? And, if so, do you only have to ask once? If you find yourself in a position where, despite believing that you should only have to ask once, you have to ask over and over again, then tune in and find out what you can do to stay less reactive and actually get your kids to follow through with something. Getting triggered and reactive certainly doesn't work but what else can you do? Curious?

Do you ever find yourself wishing that your partner would just change or see things the way you do? And do you also wish your child would sometimes change the way s/he behaves? These are things we often find ourselves wishing for but wishing won't change anything. In today's show I discuss this with Seth and Melanie Studley, the podcast hosts of Anatomy of Marriage, Anatomy of Family and Anatomy of Sex and they are aaahhhhmaze-zing! We had such a good conversation about who has to change if you want things to change. Curious?

In the heat of the moment do you have a reliable go to? A “card” you can play to get you out of jail? To stop you from taking things personally, or seeing your kids behavior as a reflection of you or to stop you dialling into the drama that’s playing out in front of you? You have to have something you can do, or things will go downhill and downhill fast. But what?

Just like athletes have to train for the “game”, I believe that we, as parents, have to put in the training too. We are, after all, on the court, field, course, track, whatever you wish you call it, ALL.THE.TIME. We are actually rarely off the hook and yet do we really prepare for it, train for it and continue to raise our bars? We really should be training for this more than anything else in our lives, yet do we?

Working on these things all require effort, we don’t just miraculously wake up feeling good every day of the week! If we want to feel energized, or be in a growth mindset and see the infinite potential in all that is, we have to take the responsibility for choosing it. For so much of the time we blame others for how we are feeling or, we believe that we will feel better when we get x or do y or see z. This is sheer lunacy in my books as we are putting our eggs in a basket we actually have no control of. How often to you find yourself pinning your happiness on external things that you can’t always control. So what can we do? Curious?

519: Your Child’s “REACTION” Is Their Reaction! Listen to me one more time! It’s not your reaction, it has nothing to do with you and it’s not a reflection of you as a parent. Our reaction to something is ours alone, no one else’s. Our chosen behaviour is our choice, our child’s chosen behaviour is their choice. We need to stop taking their behaviour and reactions personally, but how can we do that when we feel charged up in the moment?

Are you a naturally pessimistic person? It makes a big difference in how we show up as a parent. If we are coming in from a lack-based, or pessimistic mindset, it makes it awfully hard to parent. However, we can work on ourselves and use the C-crets so we can show up and parent. It takes a lot of committed work, but it can be done. Do you want to know how?

The privacy of the rich and famous has always been something so highly protected but yet still so violated. Our children today, on the other hand, freely give up their privacy and give the world a play-by-play of everything they do. I refer to this as self-induced Paparazzi, where children seek out validation of others through a dependency on Social Media and related apps. But how dangerous is this need to seek out validation?

Finding the balance between giving your kids enough independence to allow them to take responsibility for and limiting them because you know they haven’t yet got quite what it takes to do so, can be hard. They often want more independence than they are capable of being responsible for and fight us when we then impose limits their freedom.

How often do you have an idea or outcome in your head for your kid only to find yourself getting reactive because they’re not doing what you expected of them, or the way you would have done it? When we ask all those well-meaning questions as soon as they enter the door or clean up something they are perfectly capable of doing for themselves, we “interFEAR”, “enterFEAR” and end up parenting from fear. In an attempt to regain control, we often interfere. So how do we stop? Tune in… REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN FOR THE NEXT NEW GROUP COACHING COHORT THAT WILL START IN APRIL 2021.

Do you often find yourself asking “Why does it always have to be me?” as you look at your kids and partner “seemingly” doing nothing? It’s always me who puts all their s#*t away, me who gets the birthday gifts, me who makes dinner and does the laundry… me, Me, ME… In this episode I talk about the stereotypical gender roles from generations before us and why, despite things having “moved on”, we still find ourselves trapped in archaic patterns from the past that no longer serve us. We have to ask ourselves WHY it is? And then do something about it.

Parents are always asking me for the “take-away” and how I wish it were only that easy. The problem with looking for the “quick fix” or take-away is that we go to the goal, to what we want or would prefer, and in doing so, completely miss the journey which is where all the learning is. In part 2 of this 3-part mini-series, I chat about this and what you can do to start to get really clear on what it is you want to and need to change and how you might start doing it.

There is so much goodness and wisdom in this conversation with Louise Clarke, who is a Certified Parenting Coach and Certified Mindfulness Teacher. We discuss taking things too personal with our children, how to become more aware and present, and how meditation can help us become more mindful. She says her “mission is to change not just parent’s lives, but children’s lives for the better, one family at a time.” I believe she is doing just that through her coaching, courses, books, and podcast. She also does work with parents who have children with ADHD. Many of her resources are geared toward the teenage years. Her book is Parenting the Modern Teen, and several of her courses help parents during the teenage years, and the challenges that come with those ages. She has practical, doable answers that help, for parents that are struggling and frustrated. You can find Louise at YourParentingPartner.com, and her podcast is Parenting In The Thick Of It. Be sure to soak up some of her resources.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Louise Clarke, a Certified Parent Coach about all things parenting involving teenagers. Her book, Parenting The MODERN TEEN: The secret to understanding, connecting and communicating with your teen in a disconnected, distracted and digital world, is all about raising your teen into a responsible, respectful, reliable, and confident young adult while building a strong connection and relationship with them. We talk about triggers that are built into us from an early age and how as adults, raising our own children is like playing back old, pre-loaded software. We also discuss a topic near and dear to her, ADHD in teens. Louise us such a valuable resource to parents. She has a blog series on various topics and a series about ADHD. You can listen to her podcast, Parenting In The Thick Of It on many podcast platforms, designed for busy moms on the go. Check out her new book and many courses that she offers. You can also reach her through her website, YourParentingPartner.com, if you would like to work with her directly or take more of a look at her parenting resources. If you would like to reach out to me, you can find me at HeidiDellaire.com or LoveWideOpen.com.

I recently over-heard a mom tell her 2-year-old son that he was disgusting and it nearly broke my heart. If only she had had the awareness to tell him that what he did might have been disgusting but that he was not disgusting. We have to be able to separate our children from their behavior because at the end of the day, they are not their behavior. They are so much more than that. And, we all know that our voice soon becomes their own voice so can you imagine what thoughts this little guy will have about himself?Tune in… Follow Me Online Here: Website: https://yourparentingpartner.com/ Parenting In The Thick Of It Family Organizer: https://parentinginthethickofit.com/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/louiseclarke.ypp Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourparentingpartner/ You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqdQ1_fC72bKutwr5EfavQA FB Parent Support Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ParentingInTheThickOfIt/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/YPPartner Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.ca/louiseclarkeyourparentingpartn/ Medium: https://medium.com/@mlouiseclarke iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/parenting-in-the-thick-of-it-with-louise-clarke/id1358492950 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3pZfkJuOlQNohr4EqA0ivR Did you know that you can actually get reward points (redeemable on Amazon and Starbucks) for listening to this podcast?

When we take our child or teen’s behaviour personally we go into reactive mode, and when we go into reactive mode, we deny ourselves the opportunity to stay present and find out what is really going on. Being able to not take their behavior personally is perhaps one of the biggest things we can do to parent well. How do you do it?

Do you ever find yourself saying things like “If you hadn’t taken so long getting ready, we wouldn’t be late!” and “If you had just done your homework when I told you, you wouldn’t be up at midnight!”. It’s easy to find ourselves blaming our children for all sorts of things but doing so can cause them to feel shame and shame is a dangerous place to find themselves. Blaming them for a mistake translates to shame that says they ARE a mistake.

Many of the ADHD books out there focus on helping parents manage the distractibility and lack of focus their child faces. They don’t give the us any pointers as to what we can do to cope with the fact that we can be driven to distraction by the distraction! It’s hard isn’t it.
