Emotionally Intelligent Parenting with Stephanie Pinto

Solo episode today! Do you know the immense power of using clear, conscious, and respectful communication with your kids? As a former paediatric speech pathologist and communication specialist, I'm sharing super practical tips to help you avoid the traps of using vague, reactive, and authoritarian language. (Seriously, it's landing you in more power struggles and arguments than you'll ever realise!) I cover handling the dreaded bedtime routine, toy cleanup, and meltdowns/tantrums way more effectively by making two simple shifts in your communication: explaining the situation and setting boundaries. Not rocket science, right?! But I'm betting you're not doing it 95% of the time. This is almost a bit of a private coaching session with me! I get you to reflect on your habits, learn from specific scenarios, and discover how improved communication can create smoother, easier interactions with your kids. Tune in to make your words work wonders and strengthen your connection with your kids.

What can we do when all the usual emotional regulation techniques and strategies fall short for our child? If you've wondered this, you're in the right place.

Alice is an ‘energy plumber’. She unblocks the blocks that people have when nothing else seems to 'work'. In this episode, she speaks about what happens when problems in the body, such as primitive (baby) reflexes don’t integrate into purposeful, functional behaviours. Behavioural challenges, disorganisation, learning difficulties and even anxiety (like with my own child!) can come up.

And so when all the usual “tools” don’t work – it can be life-changing to be open to taking another route. Alice was captured by kinesiology when her son was unhappy, angry, impulsive, yet very bright, within 5 sessions of kinesiology she had a “different child”.

Alice shared a powerful story about a client, a boy she worked with who after receiving kinesiology with her, no longer needed a whole load of supports and plans at school to get through a day, his after-school meltdowns reduced significantly, and he was no longer stuck in a pattern of strict organisation in his bedroom (a coping mechanism of anxiety).

I hope you enjoy this episode and if you’re wondering whether kinesiology might help you and your child, please get in touch with Alice, here are her links:

Today I’m pulling back the curtain on my own experience with anxiety and how I overcame it with Emotional Intelligence.

From my early years as a shy, anxious kid to the struggles it brought me as a teen and adult — especially when it came to school, confidence, and building my career — I’m sharing it all. Why? Because I know so many of you, whether as parents or individuals, are grappling with anxiety, too.

I explore the different types of anxiety disorders (yes, there’s more than one!) and dig into the problematic thinking patterns that underpin and fuel anxiety. This gives you such a clear window into seeing how an anxious child thinks and perceives the world around them.

Whether you’ve experienced anxiety yourself or you want to understand your kids through it, this episode is packed with insights, personal stories, and practical advice to help you build a life of calm and confidence.
