Parenting With Understanding™ Podcast

🙋🏻‍♀️ Hello, Cycle Breakers! We have the first part of a coaching session with Pamela today. She’s a mom of 3, one of which is Autistic, and she’s struggling to find enjoyment in this season of parenting, especially given the challenges that come with raising a highly sensitive child. 🕵🏻‍♀️ Marcela will help her realize that the perception she has of herself and her 4-year-old, Autistic son come from her wounded, inner-child. Then, she can use that information to better understand him and begin to heal herself. 🧘🏼‍♀️ If you’re interested in receiving personalized guidance for your own parenting journey, we encourage you to apply for our all-new Parenting With Understanding™ Coaching Program! 👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏽 We’ll hold your hand as you uncover the hidden parts of yourself that shaped you as the person — and parent — you are today. Plus, you’ll learn how to effectively discover & meet your children’s needs, so your bond strengthens. Get real solutions that cater to your family dynamic by applying, using the link below.

🍀 Happy March, Cycle Breakers! Today’s episode is about how we can parent gently when we’re sick or unwell. I, Marcela, have been feeling under the weather lately. As you know, parenting doesn’t stop just because we’re sick. And, that can make an already demanding role even more challenging, making it harder to parent peacefully. 🤒 Whenever anyone at home is sick, it always adds another layer of challenges and concerns. We try to look after them and help make them as comfortable as possible. However, when the default parent isn’t feeling well, we often don’t receive the same treatment and it’s abundantly clear that the show must go on. 🤗 Show yourself grace, accept that your body needs rest, things will be left undone, and do the best you can under the circumstances. It’s enough — we promise! 🧘🏼‍♀️ If you’re interested in learning ways to calm your, or your child’s, nervous system during times of distress, like feeling ill, we encourage you to check out Rachael’s calming kits. Unlike most other calming kits, hers emphasize how to meet our needs, so we’re able to find our inner calm.   Rachael’s Calming Kits HIC Cycle Breakers private Facebook group   😉 Friendly reminder: Come and join our private Facebook group, HIC Cycle Breakers!

Happy Tuesday, Cycle Breakers! This month, we’re discussing common objections people seem to have about gentle parenting. Today, we’re covering what critics think gently parented kids will grow up to be. For some reason, there are some wild speculations as to how our kids will show up in this world as adults. We’ve heard everything from “snowflakes”, who are easily offended and will crumble under pressure, to evolving into mass murderers! Our goal for this episode is to dispel those fabrications. For your convenience, we’ve included the link to “The Considerate Conversation Formula” E-Book below.
