Be The Cycle-Breaker: 3 Scripts to Break the Parenting Patterns You Grew Up With #569

You are a good parent so you simply remind your child to do something. Do you have a child who then reacts angrily, shuts down, or has a meltdown? Does your child struggle with ADHD, short-term memory or forgetting things? Do you have a child who beats himself up and says things like, “I am so stupid!”? It can be painful to hear the negative self-talk. I want to give you a script and action steps that will change how your child sees himself or herself…and how you see them. This is a podcast to share with other parents. This is the FINAL week of our Black Friday in March Sale.

Why can't your kids just come when you ask them? It's like they can't hear you when playing video games. They aren't grateful for extra time with friends--they lash out when you pick them up. And when you call them for dinner, all you hear is, "Just a couple more minutes" and they ignore you. It's frustrating! I want to show you a powerful strategy that melts resistance, gets kids moving, and creates bonding moments...instead of power struggles.

This was an intense discussion that I jokingly referred to afterwards as an “interrogation” by the amazing hosts of the Bare Naked Moms Podcast, Alanna Leavell and Milano Buckley. These are two bright, insightful Moms asking tough questions and wrestling with their own issues. I think you will find it so helpful I asked if we could share this directly with our audience.  You can find the Bare Naked Moms Podcast on every podcasting platform. https://www.instagram.com/barenakedmoms/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This is what children with PDA often feel: “I already know I am struggling. I don’t want to hear that another person is 100% focused on MY anxiety. I already think I am weak for being afraid when other people aren’t…and now my mom and dad are just reinforcing how weak and scared I am.” I want to share unique strategies to help your PDA kids without the shame, pressure, or accommodations. Learn more about the Confident Parents, Confident Kids PDA Parent Program at https://celebratecalm.com/pda/COZY EARTHHead to https://cozyearth.com  and use my code CALM for up to 20% off.CURE HYDRATIONCure is offering our listeners 20% off your first order!
