  • Raising Self-Reliant Problem Solvers: The Balance Between Connection and Autonomy
    2024/04/25

    Ever feel the weight of perfect parenting pressing down on you? Join me as we navigate the balancing act of connecting with our kids while granting them the freedom to discover themselves. In this conversation, we'll confront the modern parental dilemma of being ever-present while unintentionally steering our children toward dependency on constant adult input. We'll tackle the idea that every moment must be maximized, and reflect on the importance of stepping back to encourage children to become self-reliant problem-solvers. I'll reveal a strategy I call 'stating the obvious' that teaches our little ones connection is a conscious choice, not an on-demand service.

    As a generation of parents clocking in more face-time with our kids than ever, we might be missing the mark on fostering the very traits we value—self-reliance and the ability to handle conflict. I navigate these contradictions to uncover the delicate balance between supporting our kids and giving them the freedom to grow.

  • Supporting Success in Young Children: The relationship between perfectionism, persistence & failure
    2024/03/28

    Children are becoming risk-averse and overly focused on perfection. If they can't do it right the first time, or if it requires some perserverance they are quick to give up.

    Join me in discussion that uncovers how well-meaning intentions might be robbing our kids of their natural tenacity and problem-solving abilities. As a host deeply invested in fostering resilience, I recount stories from my preschool that champion the philosophy of observing rather than aiding children in their physical explorations, emphasizing the critical life lessons learned through navigating failure and frustration.

    This episode is a resource for anyone looking to strike a balance between nurturing enjoyment and teaching the vital coping mechanisms to handle life's challenges. We discuss the nuances of brain development and how we can better equip our children to master tasks at their own pace, stressing the importance of allowing them to face disappointments head-on. By creating opportunities for peer learning and individual problem-solving, we propose practical approaches for building a generation that's capable, confident, and ready to face whatever comes their way.

  • Dealing with Disrespectful Behaviour at Home, School and Beyond
    2024/03/12

    This episode delves into the exhaustion that 'on-call parenting' can induce and how we might be reinforcing disrespect without realizing it. We'll be digging into the subject of teaching everyday respect to our children—a task that requires more than just stern talks about expectations. I underscore the power of leading by example and how everyday dialogues shape the foundations of respect in our kids. It's about showing them that respect is not rooted in fear but in mutual understanding. By weaving respect into the fabric of our daily lives, we not only prepare our children for the world but also open ourselves to the lessons they can teach us.

    Using my signature framework, The Language of Kindness, I tackle building connected and respectful relationships at home and beyond. This episode is an invitation to parents and guardians alike to reconsider the way we approach respect and the lasting impact it has on our little ones.
