Imagine this: Your child has just knocked over their sibling&#39;s Lego creation, and you’re torn between wanting to gently correct their behavior and wondering if there’s a better way. Is it really about making them say, &#34;I&#39;m sorry,&#34; or is there a deeper lesson to be learned? In this episode, I share a more nuanced concept of accountability in parenting. We explore the common desire to hold our children accountable for their actions—whether it&#39;s making them apologize or ensuring they understand the consequences of their behavior. But what does &#34;accountability&#34; really mean in a connected parenting approach? I challenge the traditional views and offer insight into how we can foster true responsibility in our children without resorting to shame or force. In This Episode:<ul><li>Redefining accountability in parenting</li><li>Encouraging children to internalize lessons</li><li>Balancing empathy with discipline</li><li>Avoiding shame while teaching responsibility</li><li>The impact of connected parenting on long-term behavior</li></ul> 🔗 Join my <a href="https://peaceandparentingla.com/connected-parent" rel="nofollow">Connected Parent Mastermind</a>, designed for parents who want to strengthen their connection with their children, experience more love, and reduce frustration. 🔗 Interested in our 1:1 Coaching?

Does your child connect with some teachers but not others? Have you wondered why? Imagine a classroom where connection, not just curriculum, is the priority. Could this change everything? Teaching has always been challenging, particularly due to crowded classrooms and lack of support for educators. However, I have personally witnessed how building real connections with students can significantly decrease behavioral problems and improve engagement. With 13 years of experience in public schools, I’ll share my thoughts on why our education system is letting down both teachers and students and explain how shifting our emphasis from academic rigor to nurturing relationships can establish a more productive and empathetic learning environment. In This Episode:<ul><li>Teaching through connection, not curriculum</li><li>Systemic issues in education</li><li>The power of relationships in learning</li><li>Practical tips for teachers</li><li>Parallels between parenting and teaching</li><li>Importance of play in education</li></ul> 🔗 Interested in our 1:1 Coaching?

Ever feel the panic rise when your child declares, &#34;I&#39;m bored!&#34; How is your summer going? Is your little one at a loss for what to do? Do you rush to fix it or let them find their own way? Today, I want to discuss the phrase &#34;I&#39;m bored!&#34; As parents, we often feel the need to constantly entertain and engage our kids, especially during long summer days. But what if embracing boredom could actually benefit our children? I&#39;ll share my thoughts on why it&#39;s okay for our kids to be bored and how it can help foster their creativity and resilience. Our role as parents isn&#39;t to solve every problem for our children but to guide them with love and understanding. So, the next time your child says they&#39;re bored, consider it an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. In This Episode:<ul><li>Embracing your child&#39;s boredom</li><li>Leaning into empathy and connection</li><li>Avoiding the urge to fix everything</li><li>Encouraging creativity through boredom</li><li>Building resilience in our children</li></ul> 🔗 Interested in our 1:1 Coaching?

Have you ever felt like you&#39;re losing your little one as they grow into a teen? Imagine the mix of pride and heartbreak as your child starts to pull away, seeking independence while you long for those cozy, close moments. How do we navigate this bittersweet transition? Today, I explore the emotional rollercoaster of transitioning from parenting young children to guiding adolescents. It&#39;s a journey filled with unexpected challenges and poignant moments of letting go. As our children grow and seek more independence, we often feel a deep sense of loss, coupled with the fear of not being needed anymore. But this phase, while challenging, is also a crucial period of growth for both parents and children. I’ll share with you my own struggles and realizations during my daughter Esme&#39;s transition into adolescence. From feeling like the center of her world to navigating the painful moments of rejection and the need for autonomy, I want you to understand how important it is to reframe these experiences. By leaning into connection, understanding our children&#39;s need for independence, and finding new ways to bond, we can maintain a strong, supportive relationship. In This Episode<ul><li>The emotional impact of children growing up</li><li>Coping with feelings of loss</li><li>Understanding your child&#39;s need for autonomy</li><li>Navigating the push-pull dynamics of adolescence</li><li>Balancing safety and independence</li><li>Maintaining connection through the teenage years</li></ul> 🔗 Interested in our 1:1 Coaching?

Case Study: How to Handle Sibling Conflict without Taking Sides

Ever wondered if punishing your child for bad behavior might actually be counterproductive? Picture this: your child hits their sibling. Instead of a timeout, what if you offered a hug and some empathy? How might that change the dynamic? I want to challenge some deeply rooted beliefs in traditional parenting that may benefit from a new perspective, such as the notion that punishment is essential for teaching right from wrong. I believe our children naturally desire to do well and that their behaviors often indicate a need for connection rather than defiance. By understanding the underlying needs that drive your child’s actions, you can foster a stronger bond and guide them with empathy and respect. In This Episode<ul><li>Challenging the necessity of punishment</li><li>Understanding behaviors as cries for connection</li><li>Recognizing the inherent goodness in children</li><li>Responding to misbehavior with empathy</li><li>The impact of traditional wisdom on parenting</li><li>Empowering parents to connect with their kids</li></ul> 🔗 Join my <a href="https://peaceandparentingla.com/connected-parent" rel="nofollow">Connected Parent Mastermind</a>, designed for parents who want to strengthen their connection with their children, experience more love, and reduce frustration. 🔗 Interested in our 1:1 Coaching?

Today, we explore the delicate balance between control and connection in parenting.

What happens when parenting dynamics take a sudden turn? Can connection truly transform challenging behaviors? Today, I sit with Taryn, one of our inspiring Peace and Parenting coaches, to recount her journey from traditional parenting to embracing connective parenting. After facing unexpected challenges with her second child, Taryn discovered the transformative power of hand-in-hand parenting. Her story beautifully illustrates how deeper connection and empathy not only reshape parent-child relationships but also rejuvenate the entire family dynamic. Taryn shares the complexities she faced when her seemingly &#39;easy-going&#39; firstborn started showing regressive behaviors and aggression towards her younger sibling. Her light bulb moment led her to embrace new parenting tools, which turned around her family&#39;s struggles and cultivated deep bonds. From enduring sibling rivalry to teenagers who feel completely safe in their authentic selves, Taryn&#39;s story encapsulates the highs and lows of parental connection. In This Episode<ul><li>Navigating challenges with a second child</li><li>Recognizing and fixing disconnection in parenting</li><li>Transforming through connective parenting tools</li><li>Balancing sibling rivalry with empathy and play</li><li>Sustaining parenting connection through different stages</li></ul> 🔗 Interested in our 1:1 Coaching?

Case Study: From Solo to Sibling, Adjusting to Life with Two Kids

Parenting Without Punishments

Have you tried Gentle Parenting? Are you a fan of Attachment but just can’t put it all together? Are you sick of parenting with the ideas of yelling and shame and looking for something that feels better, is different, but still has a sense of boundaries and limits?

Welcome to the Peace and Parenting Podcast with Michelle Kenney, M. Ed. Michelle is a former teacher, counselor, certified parenting coach, mom of two teens, recovering yeller, and perfectionist who parents without using punishments altogether. And guess what? It works! On this show, you’ll learn the how behind having kids who are completely UNPUNISHED but who are also successful, kind, loving, and know how to follow directions. 

Twice a week, Michelle shares her insights and expertise on connective parenting through her interviews with experts and Q&A sessions with struggling parents. If you have exhausted all other options and don't know what to do next, this could be the parenting strategy you've been searching for.
