Real World Peaceful Parenting

A few weeks ago on the podcast, I shared an amazing coaching conversation with my client Valeria, where we talked about navigating fear and anger in parenting, setting limits, and connecting before correcting. Since that conversation, Valeria has told me she's experienced a massive transformation in her parenting, so I wanted to have her back to discuss it.

This week, Valeria is sharing the game-changing skills she’s learned that have changed her household dynamic from power struggle to peace and calm. You’ll hear how modeling emotional regulation is a long-term investment in connecting with your kids, why our children need rules delivered with discipline, not punishment, and how powerful it can be to intentionally practice tolerating uncomfortable emotions.

Offering your child connection, empathy, compassion, and understanding while they’re upset isn’t an innate trait we’re born with. It’s a learned skill. That’s why, on this episode, you’ll learn one of the most essential tools in self-regulation: I call it "connect then redirect."

Tune in to learn the importance of emotionally connecting with your child before redirecting them with logic and reasoning. You’ll hear why this is an essential aspect of modeling self-regulation for your children, what’s required of you to stay calm and composed when your child is storming, and six ideas for bringing emotional maturity into your parenting.

I was recently reminded of one of the most profoundly powerful parenting tools available to us: compassionate listening. Deep, compassionate listening is what allows your children to communicate their feelings, talk about their pain, and explore ideas. What would it be like to know you are the person who helps them do this?

Join me this week to learn why practicing compassionate listening leads to deep connection with your children. As a bonus, this also works with your spouse, co-parent, coworker, or friends, and the best part is it’s surprisingly easy to begin implementing into your everyday life.
