  • 10 Ways to Connect With Your Teen [Re-Release]
    Dec 19 2024

    Having a teen is as hard as having a newborn! All the firsts and all the angst, let’s face it, the stakes are really high, and we parents worry tremendously about our children, and the teen years can really exacerbate our worry and stress. What I know works is connection, but many times, parents pull away from their teens because the teens are trying to find their own way too. When I lean into being with and understanding my teens, they respond with more kindness and the ability to self-regulate more readily. Listen in as I give you ten ways to do this.

  • Case Study: How Do I Get My Strong-Willed Toddler to Cooperate
    Dec 17 2024

    Is Your Toddler Testing Your Limits? Here’s How to Turn No into Cooperation.


    Have you ever resorted to reverse psychology just to get your strong-willed toddler to brush their teeth? What if there were a kinder, more effective way to gain their cooperation? In today’s episode, I share some practical strategies to foster a harmonious and cooperative relationship with your little one.


    Today, I connect with Lauren, a mom from Indiana who is facing the very relatable challenge of dealing with a strong-willed three-year-old. We explore why some classic parenting tactics like bribes, threats, and punishments might feel like short-term wins but can backfire in the long run.


    In this Episode:

    • Navigating a strong-willed toddler's defiance
    • The dangers of bribes, threats, and punishments
    • The importance of deep, connected relationships
    • Utilizing empathy, special time, and play
    • Practical play ideas for tough moments

  • 7 Ways to Win the Electronics Battle Without Punishment
    Dec 12 2024

    Is your approach to restricting electronics actually fostering sneaky behavior in your child? What if instead of wrestling over electronics, we focused on fostering genuine moments of togetherness? In today’s episode, we venture into the intricate relationship our kids have with their devices and discover practical, connective ways to navigate this modern challenge.


    I’ll dive into the ever-present issue of electronics in our children's lives, and contrary to popular advice, I argue against outright bans and restrictions. Instead, I emphasize connection as the core solution.

    How can we foster a healthier relationship with electronics without making them the forbidden fruit? How can we create meaningful interactions that make gadgets less appealing? Join me as I explore this nuanced approach and provide you with actionable strategies to integrate connection over control in your daily lives.


    In this Episode:

    • Importance of modeling good electronic habits
    • Offering opportunities for connection
    • Discussing over-usage pitfalls openly
    • Maintaining safety online
    • Avoiding electronics as punishment or reward

Really beneficial podcast in short snippets.

I've been following Michelle on Instagram for a while, but i find her podcasts are even better- they are short and easy to listen to and digest but have got loads of helpful tips and info squashed into them. I've been implementing her advice and style and really found it helpful with all the kids from age 4-18! She's such a down to earth and warm person that you don't feel you are being shamed or guilty for being a bad parent. I would recommend listening to her and following her for any parent who wants to make a real and lasting connection with their children or kids in their lives. Thank you so much for all your hard work Michelle!
