Busy Mom’s Survival Guide Podcast Episode 073.

I have always said that God gives us children not JUST so that we can raise them, but so that we can finish growing up ourselves. Have you ever found yourself saying, “My children make me want to scream!?” I admit, I’ve said that. And while our children may instigate that feeling in us, they aren’t the ones that make us scream. We do that all on our own. The truth is, becoming a scream-free parent actually has very little to do with our children’s behavior, and everything to do with our own.

Because this is such a huge issue for so many parents, I’m very excited to talk with Hal Runkel today, author of Scream Free Parenting*. I hope that it encourages you that you can gain control over the way you react to your children.

During today’s episode, I’m going to finish the discussion about sibling rivalry with Dr. Todd Cartmell, author of the book, Keep the Siblings, Lose the Rivalry*.

A lot of parents are tempted to think that siblings fighting is normal and that there is nothing they can do about it. While sibling rivalry may be common, and your children may bicker and squabble, it is something you can definitely do something about.

The Ten Steps

Create a strong family bond
Connect with each child

Improve sibling communication
Step toward solutions

Reinforce positive sibling behavior
Use sibling consequences that work
Put them on the same team

Scream Free Parenting II

Busy Mom’s Survival Guide Podcast Episode 074.

How often have you found yourself embarrassed by your children’s behavior? I know for me, with 8 children, there have been many times that I have wanted to hang my head in shame over something my children have done. But I know that good parenting means that instead of yelling at my kids for embarrassing me, I need to train them on what the appropriate behavior is.

I talked about this and other issues with Hal Runkel, author of the book Scream Free Parenting* during today’s podcast episode.
