It Takes a Village
Your Parent Village is here for you!
It goes without saying, parenting today is more challenging and more stressful than ever before. The parenting styles and techniques that many of us grew up with are simply not effective in raising children in today’s ever-changing, fast-paced, high-tech society. Plus many parents, maybe even you, WANT to parent differently. Parenting so your children can thrive emotionally, mentally and socially AND so you, too, can thrive, is a goal that CAN be achieved.
If you are passionate about creating strong connections and relationships with your children, if you want to raise children that are happy, responsible and cooperative, if you are overwhelmed at the volumes of parenting advice or you are just plain stuck and do not know which way to turn….
Then…

In a LIVE group, whether in person or virtual, some of the thought-provoking, life-changing Hot Parenting topics that will be discussed are:
Core Temperament Styles/Understanding our Children
Understanding your child is half the battle to stress-free parenting. Is your child sensitive? Is “why?” your daughter’s favorite question? Does your son have to be the center of attention? Does your child seem to just not care? Being able to identify our child’s core temperament style will free you and your child from frustration and bewilderment paving a path to communication that works.
Eliminating Power Struggles with Anyone
Power struggles are every parent’s nightmare (and every child’s magic tool) until you learn these simple and oh so amazing strategies to stop them in their tracks!
The Importance of Responding vs. Reacting
Keeping your cool in the heat of a moment is not always easy but it CAN and MUST be done. Learn tools and strategies to keep your blood pressure from hitting its boiling point and to maintaining connection with your child. Responding, when you really want to react, is critical for your child to thrive emotionally, mentally and socially.
Discipline
The term discipline is commonly referred to as punishment and consequences. But what does discipline really mean? Are you disciplining effectively? What strategies will truly make an impact yet maintain the parent/child relationship at the same time? Get ready to think out of the box and leave with excitement to put your new skills into place and watch your children learn and grow!
Emotions, Outbursts and Tantrums
Do your “buttons” get pushed when your child whines, throws a tantrum or perhaps lashes out in a rage? If so, you are certainly not alone. Why are your sweet little darlings explosive, whiny and so darn emotional? But what’s a parent to do in these moments? Learn what I like to call the magic tool to deal with your child’s strong emotions and watch the frequency decrease!
Parenting Styles and their Impact on Children
Discover what your parenting style is and the effects of this style on your child. Learn what the research says is the most effective style to raise happy, secure and emotionally healthy kids and what you can do to start incorporating those skills immediately.
Why Mistakes Are Your Child’s Greatest Tool for Success
It is never easy to see your child make a mistake or to fail at something. But what if I told you that mistakes and failure is your child’s golden ticket to their future success? Understanding the types of mistakes to celebrate and how to respond to these mistakes is key to your child learning, growing and becoming responsible and independent.
Respect
Whoa! Now we are talking! I bet if we each had a dime for every time we used the work respect with our children, we would be quite wealthy! So why do our kids seem to be so disrespectful and what can we do about it? This discussion will create many AHA’s for you and will provide you with the skills and tools to elicit much more respect from your children.
Allowance, Chores and Entitlement
How exciting would it be if your kids would actually help with chores (without a struggle!), learn the art of financial responsibility AND not become part of the entitled generation? This discussion will be chock full of tips for you to help your little ones grow and prosper while getting those pesky chores done!
Raising Confident Children
Watching your child take on the challenges of school, friendships, and extracurricular activities with ease is joyful to a parent. But seeing your child discouraged, fearful and giving up can be agonizing. Learn what you can do to help your child build the confidence she needs to take on each day with a “Can-do” attitude.
Sibling Rivalry
Every parent’s button pusher! Wouldn’t life be so much easier if our kids would just get along? We will discuss tips and tools to help your kids learn to get along and to help you keep your cool when they don’t!
