When parenting a child with ADHD or anxiety, the emotional rollercoaster can feel unrelenting and the mom guilt? Overwhelming! In this episode, I'm joined by Dana Baker, ADHD and anxiety parenting coach, speaker, and mom who's lived this journey firsthand. Dana opens up about her own parenting story, how she learned to trust her instincts, and what finally helped her advocate for her daughter in a world that said, “She's fine.” We talk about how to recognize your child's triggers, why adjusting expectations is essential, and how validation, not perfection, is key to connection. Dana shares actionable tools for handling emotional outbursts, increasing resilience, and building emotional awareness without losing yourself in the process. Whether your child has a diagnosis or you just feel like you're constantly walking on eggshells, this episode will help you feel seen, supported, and better equipped to parent with clarity and compassion.

In recent years, the intersection of technology and healthcare has led to innovative solutions that enhance the quality of life for both patients and caregivers. One of the most promising advancements in this domain is the development of AI-enhanced baby monitoring devices, which promise to revolutionize how parents monitor their infants' health and well-being. Jeffrey Lin from Siriuxense introduced a groundbreaking product called UniWhale, a wearable device designed specifically for infants that utilizes generative AI to provide parents with real-time physiological data and insights about their babies.Understanding UniWhaleUniWhale is not just another baby monitor; it is a sophisticated wearable device that tracks a variety of physiological metrics, including heart rate, breathing patterns, body temperature, and even bowel movements. This comprehensive data collection allows parents to gain a deeper understanding of their baby's health and well-being. The device is designed to alleviate the anxiety that often accompanies new parenthood, where every small change in a baby's behavior can lead to worry. By providing continuous monitoring, UniWhale empowers parents with the information they need to make informed decisions about their child's care.The Role of Generative AIWhat sets UniWhale apart from other baby monitoring devices is its integration of generative AI. While many wearable devices collect data, UniWhale goes a step further by utilizing a multi-modal AI system that processes not only physiological data but also generates tailored responses based on this information. For instance, the device can create personalized lullabies for babies by analyzing their physiological responses to different types of music. This innovative approach not only soothes infants but also aids in their brain development and sleeping patterns.The ability to tailor music to a baby's preferences is a game-changer for parents. Traditionally, parents have relied on trial and error to find what soothes their child. With UniWhale, parents can gain insights into their baby's reactions-whether they are calm or agitated-based on real-time data. This eliminates the guesswork and allows for a more responsive parenting approach.Enhancing Parental UnderstandingOne of the core objectives of UniWhale is to enhance parental understanding of their infants. Babies, especially in their early months, cannot communicate their needs and preferences verbally. By leveraging physiological data, UniWhale acts as a bridge between parents and their infants, providing insights that were previously unattainable. This data-driven approach is akin to a polygraph test, where physiological responses reveal underlying emotions and states of being. As a result, parents can better understand their baby's feelings and needs, leading to a more harmonious parent-child relationship.UniWhale has recently launched its product on platforms like Amazon, making it easily accessible to parents looking for innovative solutions to monitor their infants. The device connects seamlessly with smartphones, providing a user-friendly interface through a dedicated app. As the device gathers data over time, it builds a comprehensive profile of the baby's health and preferences, further enhancing its utility for parents.Conclusion: Protecting Your Baby's Health is EasyThe emergence of AI-enhanced baby monitoring devices like UniWhale represents a significant advancement in infant care technology. By combining wearable technology with generative AI, these devices offer parents invaluable insights into their baby's health and preferences, ultimately fostering a deeper understanding and connection between parent and child. As technology continues to evolve, the potential for AI in healthcare remains vast, promising a future where parents are better equipped to nurture and support their children's development. In a world where information is power, UniWhale stands out as a beacon of hope for new parents navigating the challenges of infant care.The UniWhale is currently available through Amazon for $299.

This week on The Parenting Tools Podcast, we discuss having a toddler and newborn and Jordan gives his top tips from when he was learning how to parent a 2 year old and newborn. We also have a chat about our strategies for parenting at events and read out the most gross things our listeners' children have done. The Parenting Tools is weekly parenting podcast where two dads talk through the hilarious highs and lows, wins and losses of parenting. Featuring funny stories, listener messages and questions, deep discussions, and guests episodes every two weeks, this is the podcast for parents (both mums and dads) to know they are not alone in the wonderful, chaotic world of parenting.

This week on The Parenting Tools, we speak to 'Mr K' from the Finding Our Feet podcast. Finding Our Feet is a podcast that follows Mr and Mrs K as they journey through the adoption process to adopting their first child. After struggling to conceive, Mr and Mrs K found that due to a very condition, natural childbirth carried a level of risk and therefore chose to adopt. They decided to start a podcast, Finding Our Feet, that documented the journey to be a useful resource for other people looking to adopt and to help their friends and family understand how they were feeling throughout the process. Now 6 months into being parents, we caught up with Mr K and had a chat about how he's finding fatherhood so far and his journey to becoming a father. Hosted on Acast.

You will get a personal look at how Vanessa walks parents through tricky situations and common challenges with their children with tenacity, vision, and commitment. You'll also learn how you can adapt these strategies and tools to your child and their developmental stage's needs and goals.

Learning what we as parents need to calm down in a high-emotion situation and to extend empathy towards ourselves as we do for others.

Today is part 1 of a 2 part episode with Karen McMahon, the founder of Journey Beyond Divorce. During this episode we discuss managing triggers while dealing with a high conflict co-parenting relationship. Karen discusses how to set boundaries and alleviate obstacles that may get in the way. She explains emotional energy and how to uplevel the energy you are projecting in order to benefit yourself but also hopefully raise the energy of your co-parent. Tune in for great tips on boundary setting and don't miss next week's episode about becoming a boundary bad ass! In this episode: [4:01] What was Karen's experience with her divorce? [6:07] What did Lesa learn to do when she is feeling triggered? [9:05] What was the boundary challenge Karen did recently? [11:05] Lesa and Karen share tools for dealing with high-conflict co-parenting. [15:50] Karen talks about the chapters and waves that we go through. [17:17] Karen discusses the circumstances that can arise with co-parenting and how to handle them.  [18:00] How do you alleviate the obstacles? [25:02] How did Karen deal with her triggers from her ex during their divorce?  Key Takeaways:  Your triggers are not from your marriage, they are from something that happened in your childhood. Look at the trigger poking as an opportunity of shining the light on the wounds that you still need to heal. If your boundary is not being honored, you honor it. Go about your business, and follow your boundary whether the person you are trying to apply it to adheres to it or not. There are 7 different levels of emotional energy. When we dive right into the fight, we're coming from a low level, high conflict energy. Instead think about how you can be kind and compassionate to yourself, ask yourself if you have to respond, and raise your energy to almost forgiveness and compassion. Quotes:  “Isn't it interesting that taking care of yourself and your mind is actually affecting that other high-conflict person?” - Lesa Koski  “That trigger predates your marriage. Our triggers never begin at our marriage, they begin in our childhood, so there's work to be done.” - Karen McMahon Guest Bio:  Karen founded Journey Beyond Divorce in 2010, after discovering that the pain of dissolving her marriage had been the very stimulus for her personal transformation. During her three and a half year tumultuous divorce, Karen's life began to improve exponentially. With much hard work, she embraced her new life, created healthy friendships, found her true voice, and learned to set suitable boundaries and let go of what she could not control. Learning to live a healthy enlivened life is something that we can share with our children, creating thriving relationships with them while helping them grow emotionally strong and healthy.                         Karen is the mother of two emerging adults, a graduate of the world's leading coaching institute, Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC) and a Certified Member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF). Karen's other accomplishments include work as a NYS Lobbyist, Health Advocate, Community Organizer, and Chairperson of a NYS non-profit organization, Director of Sales and Marketing, and successful small business owner.

As parents, we have the best of intentions and we want our children to thrive in the midst of transitions. However, we're also dealing with our own roller coaster of emotions and so many other things. In this episode, we help you reflect on what you can do to support your TCK (and yourself better).   For instance, as a TCK parent, you might ponder questions like:   How do you comfort your children who might be excited to move for the first time, but who also feel the deep loss for everything they're leaving behind?   How do you prepare them emotionally to say goodbye to their friends?   In today's episode, we're exploring parenting tips for TCKs, and I have the pleasure of being joined by Dr. Ruth Van Reken. As a TCK, Dr. Ruth has had a rich life with numerous cultural experiences but it wasn't until her thirties she realized the amount of loss that came with this lifestyle.   The loss of home, identity, and loved ones. This loss led to significant grief which we spoke about in depth in Part 1: Unresolved Grief and How to Overcome it. It is in part 1 that we learn Dr. Ruth's tool for overcoming this unique, unspoken grief.   Dr. Ruth is a second-generation Third Culture Kid, a mother of three adult TCKs, co-author of Third Culture Kids: Growing Up Among Worlds, 3rd ed., and author of Letters Never Sent.    For over thirty-five years, Ruth has traveled extensively, speaking about the impact of global mobility on individuals, families, and societies, including what we now refer to as Cross-Cultural Kids (CCKs)—children who grow up cross-culturally for any reason. She is a co-founder and past chairperson of Families in Global Transition.   Ruth's research and writing have given a voice to TCKs and helped all who support them make sense of their experiences and help them use it to their advantage. As we approach the time of year I like to call the "great migration," when our TCKs say goodbye to their friends and move to new places, us parents are bound to feel a roller coaster of emotions. As an adult TCK, raised by a TCK, and a  parent to TCK's Ruth has a plethora of knowledge we can all learn from. Here are some highlights that Ruth shared with me: The biggest mistake parents make with their TCKs The best way to emotionally prepare your TCK to say goodbye Cultivating traditions as a way to help your TCK find identity Journaling as a way to process emotions Adapting to a new language as a TCK If you know a family who is preparing to move, I encourage you to share this episode with them so that they can absorb the immense knowledge Dr. Ruth has on helping TCK's make sense of their experiences.   Just remember, you are not alone in this experience.

When Sarah R. Moore hears someone bemoaning a toddler's tantrum with, “Oh, he just wants attention,” she's likely to respond with, “Yes, and?” It's a term she learned from an improv class but one she frequently applies to parenting. And in terms of tantrums—be it from a toddler or teen—she believes the cry for attention is due to an unmet need. Sarah joins Dr. Amy and Sandy on the Brainy Moms podcast to talk about a variety of tools she believes can be beneficial in helping children, teens, and us feel seen, safe, soothed, and secure...including story teaching, connection, and co-creating boundaries. If you're looking for new ways to grow as a parent and help your child communicate, build resiliency, and deepen their trust and respect for you, this episode is not to be missed!

In this conversation with Fiona you'll hear us both talk about our personal experiences of mothering our children and some of the challenges we've experienced (and continue to experience). Fiona shares how understanding information about temperament, sensory preferences, and connection-based, relationship-building parenting ‘tools', can transform how we see our children - and ourselves. You'll hear us discuss*: - How to contextualise and understand our experiences of parenting, to support us in trying to see the world through our children's eyes - What the 'goodness of fit' is and why it matters in our parenting - How to recognise quirks in your child as temperamental tendencies, temperament traits or sensitivity traits - Meeting our children not only where they're at, but also as who they are - How to understand who your children are, with all of their temperament traits and sensory preferences - The importance of how we perceive our children and why this really matters in how we parent them - Why separation based techniques don't necessarily work for children - Giving yourself permission as a parent to hold that bigger, holistic focus in parenting in mind as we navigate day-to-day challenges - Why it's more common than you think that parents feel resentment towards their child or baby - What attuning to our children actually means Founder of Mama Matters, Fiona is a Social Worker turned Infant Sleep Specialist.
