In today's busy world, we often find it difficult to maintain a strong and loving relationship with our children after a long day at work. However, there is hope. Let me share with you a story of a couple who faced this challenge, but refused to give up. They chose a different approach, one focused on building connection rather than discipline. Learn how they dealt with sibling rivalry through affection rather than punishment, and why consistency played a vital role in their success. Their inspiring journey is a testament to the effectiveness of connection-based parenting.

As a parent, I have come to understand the significance of positivity and self-belief. In today's world of parenting, it is crucial to reshape our relationships with our children. Instead of labeling them as "difficult," we should view their behaviors as a sign of struggle and support them accordingly. By fostering strong connection with our kids, we can bring a positive change in family dynamics and have a profound impact on our children's lives.

Today I want to challenge some long-standing parenting beliefs, specifically the idea of correction and why the conventional methods of correcting our kids might not be as effective as we think. Children already know when they've made a mistake and our role as parents should be to connect and empathize rather than correct. I encourage you to try a ten-day challenge where you put aside correction and focus on nurturing your parent-child relationships through empathy, play, and affection. I truly believe it’s a journey worth exploring.

As parents, we often encounter difficulties when our children bring up unresolved emotions and behaviors from our own upbringing. It is essential to be aware of these emotions and reprogram our natural parenting instincts so that we can respond with love, kindness, and understanding instead of anger and punishment. Today, I would like to share an excerpt from my book, "Unpunished," along with some useful journaling prompts that can help us explore our own history and emotions as parents. By doing so, we can gain a deeper understanding of our reactions to our children's behavior and improve our parenting skills.

As parents, we often encounter kids with two distinct temperaments. The first type values their authenticity and won't betray themselves, even if it means risking their relationship with their guardian. The second type of child remains loyal to their caretaker and will do anything to comply with their wishes, often leading to a lack of personal growth. Rather than resorting to control to bring these kids to a middle ground, we can help them find balance by using connection and unconditional love.

I was deeply hurt by two mothers when I was young, my biological mother who left when I was twelve, and my stepmother who came into the picture shortly after. Both of these mother wounds shaped the way I began my parenting journey and set me on a path that would have been similar for my children.
But it was this that led me to find connected parenting and I was able to change the way I parent and in turn, limit the mother wounds for my kids. If we want to prevent these mother wounds then we have to do the deep transformative work in our parenting.

Today, I'm digging into sibling dynamics. From my own struggles with my sister growing up to parenting my two daughters, it's been a journey. When I became a parent of two girls I immediately started overcorrecting their fights, because I didn't want their relationship to be like mine was growing up. But that only fueled the fire. It took me a while to realize my actions were rooted in my past triggers.
Here's the deal: connection is everything. Sibling relationships thrive when individual bonds are strong. Check out today’s episode and the replay of my masterclass on Sibling Rivalry, it could be a game-changer for you.

During our conversation, Danielle shared a story about an incident that occurred while camping with her son. Her son had a tantrum and even went as far as pointing a fake gun at her. However, what surprised her was how both of them handled the situation.

I understand that learning empathy can be a challenging journey, especially if it's not something that was modeled for us in our own upbringing. However, I've learned that empathy is a crucial component of creating a strong connection with our children. That means being present with them, especially during times of big emotions, listening with an open heart, and truly hearing what they have to say. If we can do that, we have the power to turn those moments into opportunities for connection, and that can make all the difference.

When a child starts hitting, kicking, or becoming aggressive, our initial reaction is often to punish them. However, punishing a child by sending them to time out, taking away their favorite activity, or grounding them for a weekend, does not effectively teach them right from wrong. I believe that no punishment can teach them because they already know what they did was wrong.
What’s going on in these circumstances is that their prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain responsible for reasoning, is not fully developed yet, making it difficult for them to make sound decisions, which happens as adults too. Today I’ll share with you what you can do when aggressive behavior shows up in your kids.

To help them, we need to connect with them. By building a strong relationship, we can help them feel safer, more secure, and more supported. Listen in today for some techniques that may help them to become more cooperative, resilient, and confident.

Today, I am feeling particularly grateful for the relationship I have with my children and wanted to share my experience with you in the hopes that it may offer some hope and inspiration.

However, I am so glad that I persevered because it has made all the difference in the world. It hasn't always been an easy road, but the benefits of connected parenting have been well worth the effort.

Araminta was struggling with her child's behavioral issues when she discovered Peace and Parenting, which proved to be a lifesaver for her. After signing up for personal coaching the most important lesson she gained was that her son understood the difference between right and wrong, but lacked the ability to regulate his emotions. With this knowledge, Araminta is now better prepared to deal with her son's tantrums and intense feelings without becoming upset herself. She has discovered a method for remaining calm and collected in difficult circumstances.

As parents, it's natural for us to want our child's bad behavior to stop. But we must remember that kids will act in childish ways because that's just what they are – kids. We need to let go of the idea that we need to find a parenting technique that will miraculously stop bad behavior and instead, shift our mindset to cultivating a long-lasting relationship with our kids.

Early on in my parenting journey, I snapped at my daughter and yelled so loudly that I scared her. I needed her to listen to me and respect me, but I was actually trying to fulfill an unmet need I had experienced when I was a child. I wanted to be a parent so badly, and I wanted to do it better than my parents. I was trying to be Super Mom, and when my daughter didn't recognize my efforts, I got pissed.
If you find yourself easily getting angry and snapping at your children, today's episode could help you examine your inner self and understand what triggers that behavior.

It's simply a common phase that many kids go through. If your child is going through this phase, it's important not to take it personally. However, it's crucial to bear a few things in mind during this phase.
