Mastermind Parenting Podcast

Today’s episode is a continuation of episode 137 and  the 3 gaps at the heart of the challenging child dilemma. The Mastermind Parenting recipe involves 3 main components - Leadership, Communication and Mind Mastery, otherwise known as raising consciousness. I delve into each of these topics and apply them to the three gaps - The Parent Gap, The Challenging Child Gap and The Professional Gap.  If you’re ready to go deeper with us and truly help your struggling child, please reach out and book a call with the Mastermind Parenting team. mastermindparenting.com/call Ready to have a joyful holiday season?

Today I’m discussing why I think we are failing our struggling kids. Kids that act out and “are not doing well”, are in pain. I see it as three gaps we need to close to help these kids and frankly, all kids. I define these three gaps as:  The Parent Gap - The gap between the parent you wanna be and the reactive parent you are during triggering moments with your kids. This often looks like yelling, shaming and ultimately adding to the problem.  The Challenging Child Gap - All behavior is communication. Behavior is a symptom, not the root of the problem. These challenging kids need the adults caring for them, to get curious and uncover the root of the behavior. The child is always trying to have a need met and most often would benefit from additional time spent skill building rather than using shame and punishment as ineffective motivation tactics to improve behavior.   The Professional Gap - I believe that folks that choose a career in child development are generally the good guys - teachers, pediatricians, child therapists. HOWEVER, not all professionals are doing their own consciousness work. Many are still educated with old school methodology and promote pills before skills rather than working closely with parents to uncover the roots of the behavioral problems.  There is a big communication gap between parents and child professionals. The solution for your kid is never going to come from merely sending them to a pediatric professional for an hour a week without making significant changes at home. Period.  The solution to solving the “challenging child puzzle”  involves closing these three gaps so that our often hardest to reach kids can grow into the absolute best versions of themselves. This will be our focus this season on the podcast.  Ready to have a joyful holiday season?

On the podcast this week I have part 2 with fellow coach, Amy Pearson. We discuss that feeling of being stuck and figuring out what “you wanna be when you grow up”. Many parents talk themselves into a life of complacency and may not realize that you can do something to create shifts even when things are “fine”. My motto is eff “fine”...YOU deserve fan-freakin-tastic!  To access Amy Pearson’s  personality assessment, “The Approval Quiz”, Click here.

This week on the podcast, I “sat” down with my friend and fellow coach, Amy Pearson, to discuss finding “your peeps”.  Both Amy and I strive to live a life that feels connected, purpose driven and good in our bodies. I think that more of us than we realize, are living a life that doesn’t feel great. You can be surrounded by people, have a full or “busy” schedule and social calendar and still feel a sense of “stuckness”. Amy and I candidly discuss all these issues and more. I LOVE her ⅓ rule and I can’t wait for you to learn it straight from the source. Warning: You may listen to this episode and have some real aha’s about the people you’ve chosen to “sit next” to. As “they” say, it’s important to take stock of the people you surround yourself with and notice whether it’s a relationship meant for a reason, a season or a lifetime.  To access Amy Pearson’s  personality assessment, “The Approval Quiz”, Click here.

This week and this month I’m focusing on how we can really help our strong-willed kids and what actually “works” with these kids. We’ll delve into why your kid’s behavior isn’t significantly improving if you’ve tried the traditional approaches like play therapy or sticker charts. We need to understand what’s really going on with these kids and how it’s more about “lagging skills” and less about being intentionally difficult. As always, I don’t mince words and give it to you straight up from another mom (me) who has walked this path just a few steps before you. I’ve. Got. You.

In this episode, I have a conversation with podcaster and mom of two, Laura Max Rose, about our Mastermind Parenting WORLD CLASS sibling fighting tool. I’m currently writing a book about this tool and this convo involves the latest and greatest way I’m teaching this life changing tool. As you know if you have more than one child, when your kids fight, it’s triggering and stressful. This tool is also totally relevant for only children because there will be conflicts on playdates or with cousins and this will help you know what to do. The sibling relationship can feel complicated for many reasons and this tool will help you see conflicts as amazing opportunities that’ll help your kids learn powerful conflict resolution skills that will benefit their lives for years to come.

In this week and next week’s podcast episodes, you’ll hear a convo between me and Laura Max Rose, podcaster and mom of two precious little girls. Our main subject is the sibling relationship and the different layers involved - from sharing, to violence to our ultimate dream of our kids becoming besties. How does our own birth order or being an only child determine how we navigate sibling fighting and what messages our kids receive? Why should we stop telling our kids we’re proud of them? What do we say when one of our kids constantly compares themselves or their things to their sibs? Why ARE they making everything into a competition? Well, tune in this week and next where we’ll cover all these topics and more!
