How can you set limits around screen time without feeling guilty? What to do when your kid has an explosive reaction when screen time is over? How much is too much and what kind of content is ok? Is Tik Tok inherently bad? Will violent video games cause aggression in kids? These and other important questions in this episode with an education correspondent for NPR and the author of The Art of Screen Time: Digital Parenting without Fear Anya Kamenetz. With social distancing limiting our ability to connect and physically interact, daily screen time has increased in our lives. And even before the COVID-19 global pandemic, there were concerns about what screen time is doing to our health. But screens are not inherently bad. And I'm definitely not against them. My advice to you is: Use common sense and your own best judgment, know your child, your family, your needs. Prioritize human connections and emotions. Spend time together without screens daily. Protect sleep. Be sure kids have other activities besides screens during the day. It's all about balance. Be a good role model yourself. BECOME A SUPPORTER OF THE SHOW 1.

What is self-love? Where do the roots of low or lack of self- love originate? Are there degrees of self- love? Is the opposite of self-love self-hatred? Can you love someone if you don't love yourself fully? How can you cultivate and practice more self-love? This is the topic of today's exploration. I'm joined by Nathalie Ellis. I'd love to hear from you. 3 things I'm particularly interested in: What's your understanding of self-love? Can you love someone if you don't love yourself? You have to love yourself before someone else can love you. Do you agree or disagree? BECOME A SUPPORTER OF THE SHOW 1.

What does it mean to have real influence over our kids? What's the difference between control and influence? The real reason why our kids don't listen to us and how on earth can we get our children to willingly cooperate without yelling, threats, rewards and punishments? We share 2 real life scenarios from our life and explain how we got our kids to cooperate willingly. Also, how can we cultivate more self-love by looking at our own unworthiness, shame stories? How do these stories show up in our parenting? BECOME A SUPPORTER OF THE SHOW 1. With your support we can continue the production of the podcast uninterruptedly.

In today's episode I'm helping Adriana, a mom of 2 kids, ages 2 and 4 years old with limit setting. I demystify the limit setting process and ask Adriana to get clear on her why behind saying "no". Setting limits doesn't have to be unpleasant. You don't have to be harsh or angry. It's all about knowing your why, staying calm and present, communicating the limit with compassion and holding that limit knowing that kids will have emotional reactions. You don't have to feel guilty or even give in. In fact I suggest using playfulness and humor as strategy.

Depending who initiated the process, it can come as a shock to the other party. It's always emotional. And both men and women feel a sense of loss. While no two divorces are alike, there are still some common reasons for it. Can you see it as an opportunity to grow rather than an ending of something? BECOME A SUPPORTER OF THE SHOW 1.

Barry Weinhold, Ph.D talks about the Drama Triangle. The drama triangle is a dynamic model of social interaction. It was developed by Dr. Karpman when he was a student of Eric Berne, M.D. father of transactional analysis. Karpman and other clinicians point out that "victim, rescuer, and persecutor" refer to roles people unconsciously play, or try to manipulate other people to play, The triangle maps a type of destructive interaction that can occur between people in conflict.

Today's episode is an on air coaching call. I'm helping Jacquie, a working mom of a 3 year old boy. Some of the themes we explore are: Jacquie's anxiety. She has struggled with anxiety and depression most of her life but it got worst during pregnancy and after birth became more uncontrollable. Work-motherhood balance. Is it even attainable? Guilt, how to cope with it? Worthiness. Are you measuring your worth by your performance? Parenting is a relationship and for many career, task, achievement, performance oriented people it can be very frustrating and challenging as there are no performance reviews in parenting. There are no measurement of our performance. Many parents get stuck in what I call The Performance Trap. I've created a special playlist on Spotify with all the On-Air-Coaching Episodes of 2019 for easy consumption. Access it here and enjoy!

What you are about to hear is an unexpected conversation that started out as an on air coaching call. Katie, the mother of 4 children from Australia had signed up to be coached on air a while ago. She has been one of my faithful listeners. I reached out and as she began speaking I soon realized that this not a coaching episode, that I need to hold space for her to share her story. Because it reminded me of the other stories I hear. Women are struggling. They feel overwhelmed, alone, isolated, drained, needing of emotional support, even those in "happy" marriages. The emotional load of motherhood is taking a toll on their mental health, well-being, relationships and parenting. The invisible workload of being a mother is killing women. I do not have a solution but I know that we need to stop this silent epidemic. That's why we are having conversations. That's why we are sharing stories. Real stories. Stories that are hard to hear. Stories such as mine, in episode 194, The Dark Side of Motherhood, or Kelly's in episode 202, Setting Healthy Boundaries without Feeling Guilty or Mommy Burnout, episode 144, How To Reclaim Your Life and Raise Healthier Children in The Process. Today, Katie is joining me from the mental hospital where she checked herself in. This is one of the heaviest episodes of the podcast and the subject matter and the story it might be triggering, so listener discretion is advised. Let this brave sharing give voice to the many untold stories of women who are silently suffering under the heavy load of modern motherhood. Yes, it does take a village to raise children. But where is the village? It's a ghost town. BECOME A SUPPORTER OF THE SHOW 1. With your support we can continue the production of the podcast uninterruptedly.

Do you have a hard time saying to "NO" to people? Do you often sacrifice your own needs to accommodate other people? Do you have a difficulty setting firm boundaries? Are you unhappy in your relationship but unable to leave? Does your marriage or relationship take up your thoughts and energy? Are you the one that is constantly making sacrifices in your relationship? Then you may be in a codependent relationship. The term "codependency" was coined a few decades ago in the context of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) to acknowledge and support partners of alcoholics and chemical-dependents who were intertwined in the destructive lives of those they loved. Darlene Lancer is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and expert author on relationships and codependency. In this episode she talks about: What is codependency? What are the symptoms of codependency? What's the origin of codependency? How does shame play a part in codependency? How does codependency and shame affect relationship? And of course we are talking about recovery-what are some of the steps required for recovery? FULL SHOW NOTES www.authenticparenting.com/podcast ***Want to get most out of your listening experience?
