In this episode, Dianne discusses with guest speakers Ron Swan and Debbie St-Martin from Centre Famille, Home to the SNAP Program, about overcoming parenting challenges, managing the behavior of children, effectively communicating within a family, and establishing organization and structure at home.

They explore the importance of empathy and understanding in parenting and the significance of teaching kids essential life skills. Featuring real-world examples and results from their SNAP Program, they emphasize the power of positive reinforcement, the need for consistency in parenting styles, and the indispensability of creative thinking.

Further, they examine how different parenting styles can work together for the benefit of children and touch upon maintaining a united front in front of children, compartmentalizing different aspects of life, and the value of prioritizing what matters most in family life.

10/27/23 • 29 min

Listen to the third and final episode of a series where I interview my kids. Hear their perspective and thoughts when it comes to their involvement in maintaining the house, find out when they're more resistant to doing chores, what this all means for them in the future, and so much more!

In this episode, it's my oldest kid's turn on the mic. Find out the differences and similarities between his take on chores vs his siblings, being the oldest child and what he'd do if he were the parent. Also, find out what it's like at our home from following a chore chart to whether getting paid to do chores is preferred or not. Also, learn to start practicing positive parenting by listening to your children and having conversations with them about chores. Who knows what you'll discover from these talks. You just might learn a thing, or two, about them as well as yourself!

Hope you enjoy this episode.

The bathroom is either a place of chaos, comfort, a quiet zone or all of the above and everything else in between. It’s a busy common area that if we equip ourselves and set the space up, we can totally achieve that ideal space that we resort to from time to time, or every night to escape into the World Wide Web, where most ideas and inspiration are not the only things being formed, but one of the only spaces where we can lock ourselves in - and escape!

But what we can't escape is cleaning it. In this episode I take you through my tips and tricks to help get this space organized and cleaned by EVERYONE in the household.

The discussion delves into the importance of communication, setting routines, handling challenging behaviors, and creating safe spaces for children. Bowers emphasizes the significance of listening to children, supporting their individuality, and not comparing oneself to other parents.

She also offers a unique perspective on managing parenting stress and fostering strong, positive family dynamics. The episode concludes with Bowers providing information on her coaching services, including how interested individuals can reach out to her for exploratory sessions.
