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

If you are raising a child or children with big emotions, you probably deal with a lot of drama throughout the day: anxiety, resistance, disrespect…maybe even your child speaking negatively about themselves. The good news? There are a lot of strategies that can help. The bad news? There are a lot of strategies that can help. And often because there are a lot of these strategies that can help, you may feel so exhausted and run down that you don't know which strategies to try first or what your next step should be.  This episode includes:  What keeps us feeling stuck and unable to move past our overwhelm The first step we need to take to get unstuck -- and why it doesn't take any extra energy!

If you are raising children with big emotions, you are probably used to their big reactions when they are tired, hungry, or overstimulated. But sometimes children have big reactions even when there is no obvious reason, leaving us feeling confused and like we have to walk on eggshells around them.   In this episode, you'll learn:  What is going on when our kids act overly irritated or annoyed but it isn't clear why  How to recognize what I call “energy mismatches” (with examples) What we can do to help our kids have fewer big reactions -- and more confidence and healthy self-esteem --   Transcript of this episode FREE RESOURCE: Summary of this episode Join Rachel's Facebook group The Leadership Parenting Academy and Success Lab

On this episode of Practice Makes Parent, we talk about the challenges and experiences of raising strong-willed children. Sally Burke joins Dr. Danny Huerta and Rebecca St. James and discusses incidents from her child's early years, how strong-willed behavior manifested, and how these situations were handled with a mix of discipline and understanding. You'll hear the importance of prayer and using scripture as a foundation for guiding and nurturing children. Plus, you'll learn tactics for instilling empathy, establishing boundaries, and encouraging obedience without crushing the child's spirit. The role of community support and the power of joint parental prayer are also highlighted. Your child can be transformed into a leader through spiritual development!

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. They may even resist leaving the house when they have something fun to do, like a birthday party! When nothing seems to motivate them, we can feel confused and frustrated. Fortunately, there is something that we can do to help our children with transitions, and it's easier than you might think. In this episode, you'll learn:  Why transitions are difficult for our children (it's not just that they don't feel like going to the next thing) Why traditional strategies like logic and rewards don't work for children with big emotions Two things we can do to make transitions easier for our kids (and us!), with real-life examples -- Transcript of this episode FREE LIVE Parenting "Power Hour" FREE RESOURCE: Summary of this episode Join Rachel's Facebook group The Leadership Parenting Academy and Success Lab

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?  In this episode, you'll learn:  The science behind big reactions (and why we have more control that we think) How to break the cycle of Yuck that keeps us stuck  A Leadership Parenting strategy called “Expect and Plan” that ensures we are in charge of our homes, not everyone's reactions  -- FREE RESOURCE: Summary of this episode Join Rachel's Facebook group The Leadership Parenting Academy and Success Lab

Show Notes: We might want to handle the daily stressors of life with calmness and respect, but often it doesn't work that way. (At least not for me!) Listen as I describe a situation I handled pretty poorly as a parent – and the strategies I used to get myself out of a cycle of guilt.  In this episode, you'll learn:  How to feel our feelings without being controlled by Yuck A simple and effective Leadership Parenting strategy to address mistakes Questions to ask YOURSELF when you do something you regret -- Free live "Power Hour" event: How to Boost Confidence in Children with Big Emotions FREE RESOURCE: Summary of this episode Join Rachel's Facebook group The Leadership Parenting Academy and Success Lab

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

In this episode Andrew and Laura talk about some of the amazing guests and topics that will be coming on season 2 and are excited about bringing back our “touchstone topics”, a mini-series on religious trauma and the elections, sharing survivor stories of leaving and healing from religious trauma, and focusing on various aspects of medical and financial trauma and how they intersect with religious trauma. This week we'll begin our touchstone topic series with a discussion about what religious trauma is! Our touchstone topic series is one where we talk about some of the foundations of religious trauma, the nervous system, the difference between deconstruction and deconversion, and adverse religious experiences.  And we're also bringing back some of your favorite segments! In this episode we have Flannelgraph Storytime where we have a fascinating discussion on the impact of James Dobson and the Strong Willed Child propaganda. And, we can't forget prayer requests! This week we're lifting up …the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives on Hulu and the bizarre case out of Aurora, CO where a faith based therapist is accused of abuse of her clients as she tried to reunify them with their criminally charged father.  Resources that are discussed during this episode: When Religion Hurts You by Laura Anderson In an Unspoken Voice by Peter Levine Healing Trauma by Peter Levine No Bad Parts by Richard Schwartz Sign up for Fall Support Groups at the Center for Trauma Resolution and Recovery!

It can be exhausting to parent children with big emotions -- especially when it feels like our efforts to improve behavior, moods, and attitudes take longer than we would like.

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!    Scriptures Referenced: Galatians 6:9   Resources: Altogether Lovely Collective Blog: Mothering the Strong-Willed Child https://altogetherlovelycollective.com/blog/mothering-the-strong-willed-child  Altogether Lovely Collective https://altogetherlovelycollective.com/  Altogether Lovely Collective Instagram https://www.instagram.com/altogetherlovely.co/    Follow my  journey by subscribing to this podcast.
