CONNECTED PARENTING EPISODE 79 – Summer 2022
I feel like summer is the best time to be a connected parent because it's the time where you are less busy. Usually, there's more vacations, or at least some of the major things that kids are doing during the year have slowed down or stopped and there’s time to...
CONNECTED PARENTING EPISODE 78 – Your Kid’s Going Away To College

CONNECTED PARENTING EPISODE 73 – A Podcast For Busy Parents

CONNECTED PARENTING EPISODE 72 – Kids Who Beg & Badger
I hear this so often from parents that I work with regarding their kids; often gladiator and ADHD kids who fixate on something that they just have to have. They will beg and badger until the adult is completely worn down, exhausted and gives in. Over time, the...
CONNECTED PARENTING EPISODE 71 – Love vs Fear – A Conversation with Natalie
Today I am joined again by Natalie and we are talking about the continuum between love and fear. Human beings really only have two emotions, love and fear. Although we don't always know in our bodies when it's fear because at some point, they blend together and it can...
