This week, I’m doing something a little different: Instead of picking the topic myself, I’m answering parents’ questions.

These questions demonstrate challenges that many of us face behind closed doors — and I’m sharing practical ways to handle them with more confidence and calm.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to respond to two specific situations as a connected and confident Leader Parent

• What to do when children respond negatively to positive feedback

• Why kids with big emotions frequently complain of being bored but resist any suggestion you make

When we’re raising children with big emotions, it can be exhausting trying to handle their behavior, moods, and attitudes along with everything else on our to-do list. Sometimes we lose our cool and say things that we regret… Other times, we find ourselves being too permissive just to avoid a meltdown. However, one simple phrase can help you find a consistent balance and become a more powerful positive influence, even in the hard moments!

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to balance connection and confidence, so your kids want to follow your lead

• How to use this phrase in a variety of situations (with real-life examples)

• The long-term effects of this approach, including how it affects them and how it affects you!

When we’re raising kids with big emotions, we often learn how to navigate their behavior, moods, and attitudes to avoid meltdowns and dramatic moments. But sometimes, even when we’re doing everything “right,” our children’s behavior can throw us a curveball -- crying for seemingly no reason, refusing to do something they wanted to do, or getting disproportionately angry over a small inconvenience. These situations can leave us frustrated, confused, and powerless to help.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What we need to understand about our kids’ confusing behavior

• Why specific reactions often make them more upset

• How to spend less energy addressing frustrating and confusing behavior
