People who have big feelings have many strengths. They understand other people really well and often have very strong, meaningful relationships. But there are also potential downsides to having big emotions, like having a hard time making decisions, feeling different from friends and family members, and feeling bad about themselves. Fortunately, there is something that we can do as parents to help our kids with these struggles, while strengthening their resilience and self-esteem. In this episode, you'll learn: What it was like for me growing up as a highly sensitive person in a family that didn't feel things as strongly Two common side effects of having big feelings What we can do to help our kids handle their discomfort in healthy ways and build their confidence rather than eroding it -- Join the "Daily Lift" for $1 FREE RESOURCE: Fostering Resilience Without Sacrificing Self-Esteem Join Rachel's Facebook group The Leadership Parenting Academy and Success Lab
It's natural to want to do a “good job” as a parent. We want to be attentive, be calm when our kids are having a difficult time, teach them all the skills they need to know in life…and it's easy to be really hard on ourselves when we don't do all of those things well. The good news is, our kids don't need parents who never make mistakes -- they actually need us to be imperfect! In this episode, you'll learn: Why it's hard for us to accept that our imperfections make us better parents Four reasons we MUST be imperfect to raise great kids What we should spend our energy on, instead of trying to be good at everything -- JOIN THE “DAILY LIFT” + WEEKLY “GET UNSTUCK” CONVERSATION FOR $1 Summary and examples from this episode Transcript for this episode Join Rachel's Facebook group The Leadership Parenting Academy and Success Lab

You'll hear the importance of prayer and using scripture as a foundation for guiding and nurturing children.

Children with big emotions often struggle with transitions: Getting out of the house in the morning, stopping what they're doing to go to the dinner table or to get ready for bed.

Fortunately, there is something that we can do to help our children with transitions, and it's easier than you might think.

You crave a peaceful home, but peace can be hard to come by when raising children with big emotions. Our kids are quick to react disproportionately to situations, and it's easy to get sucked into their drama. How can we make sure that we are in control of our homes rather than everyone's reactions?

Show Notes: While some kids with big emotions blame others, others are incredibly hard on themselves. And it can be devastating to hear them beat themselves up when they make a mistake! Often when they do, our instinct is to tell them it will be okay, that it's not a big deal, that everyone makes mistakes. But as you've probably noticed, that doesn't make them stop this behavior in the long run, and it can even make them feel worse in the moment. The good news is that we can use Leadership Parenting strategies to help our children – and ourselves! – handle these situations more effectively. In this episode, you'll learn: Why previous attempts to help our kids calm down haven't worked -- and often make things worse instead Qualities that many children with big emotions have in common (and why it feels like they regularly get stuck in cycles of negativity) How to stay regulated and help kids get unstuck so they can learn how to handle their mistakes in the moment… and build resilience for the future -- Free live "Power Hour" event Free resource: Summary of Episode 331 Join Rachel's Facebook group The Leadership Parenting Academy and Success Lab

Parents to a 4-year-old strong-willed son and an almost 2 year-old daughter, Omaya + Andrew are here to share the biggest mindset shifts they internalized that made it possible for them to go from constantly splitting up their family to avoid setting off their strong-willed child to watching their sibling relationship thrive and taking both kids hiking as a solo parent! They reflected on what they've done well to parent together as true partners, processing the information in real time and tagging each other out in the moment. But most importantly, they hope by hearing their story you'll not only feel incredibly validated, but realize how possible it is to make sense of all the theories when you have individualized insight.IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVERED...The problem with spending your energy trying to rationalize with someone who's behavior is by definition, irrationalWhat it really means to respond to the emotion, not the actionHow empowering it is to move from avoidance to acceptance of your child's BIG emotionsDON'T MISS:What to do with your fears that your child is the *worst* child of all the kids you know// CONNECT WITH DANIELLE //Website: parentingwholeheartedly.comIG: @parent_wholeheartedlyAPPLY: parentingwholeheartedly.com/applySupport the show*FREE* MASTERCLASS: Learn how to CONFIDENTLY parent your strong-willed child WITHOUT threats, bribes or giving in altogether so you can BREAK FREE of power struggles + guilt www.parentingwholeheartedly.com/unapologeticwww.parentingwholeheartedly.com

We're releasing last month's patreon-only episode on the main feed today. We talk about Yancey's book that came out in 2000 that validated doubts, disappointments and insecurities, while urging people to stick it out in Christianity, even if it didn't feel right. Krispin shares about how this book shaped his journey. Together, Krispin & DL reflect on it in the context of what we know from Yancey's memoir that released in 2021. We mention Yancey's interview with the I Was a Teenage Fundamentalist Podcast and their follow-up episode after the interview. We have a patreon-only episode up today about The Strong Willed Child by James Dobson. Become a patreon member to hear it!

Parents to boys age 7 + 4, Vanessa + James, are here to be completely honest with you about how they've gone from regretting their decision to have kids, to enjoying international travel with them, tantrum-free. They ended up sharing a powerful story about a recent trip they took that drove home so much of the perspective that we need to be compassionate with our kids and their need to make sense of the world. But most importantly, you'll get to hear how they think, which is one of the most powerful impacts of working with a mentor or coach; being able to not only relate, but adopt their mentalities, viewpoints, perspectives and mindset.

Motherhood is sanctifying work, and mothering a strong-willed child is extra sanctifying! The challenges parenting this personality type brings can lead a mother to feeling isolated, frustrated, and exhausted. What are we to do when everything we try doesn't work? How can we find hope in the midst of tantrums and attitudes? Sarah Boots from Altogether Lovely Collective joins me to share how God is helping her grow in this area. This episode is less about the strong-willed child, and more about the mother who's been gifted that unique life. God promises to give us wisdom when we ask it of Him. Claim His promise and find strength to believe forward into the life of your child, seeing the potential that God has for them!
