  Take Back Your Parental Authority - 419

  Aug 18, 20269 min

  My daughter thanked me at dinner the other night for "not letting" her drop out of college. She's an adult, so I couldn't have stopped her if I'd tried.‍♀️ What I did instead is why she thanked me. Like me, you may be working hard to parent differently from the way you were raised. You don't want your kids to feel afraid, dismissed, or powerless. You want a close relationship built on trust. Somewhere along the way, being the one in charge can start to feel like the opposite of being close. You worry that every limit you hold could damage the relationship you're working so hard to build. How do you lead your kids without controlling them? How does that change as they grow? HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER: The difference between parental authority and authoritarian parenting How your authority shifts as your kids grow, all the way into adulthood Where your influence comes from once you no longer have the final say FEATURED IN THIS EPISODE: Episode 390 - Letting Them Walk Their Own Path The Collapse of Parenting by Leonard Sax Download my free Nervous System Reset Guide for Moms HERE .

  Adjusting to a New School Year (replay) - 418

  Aug 11, 202617 min

  Your child finds out they aren't in class with any of their friends. They say their teacher is too strict. They come home crying and tell you they have no one to sit with at lunch. Your mind immediately jumps to: "This shouldn't be happening." "They're going to be miserable." "I need to do something." While some situations require you to step in, a difficult first day or week of school doesn't always mean something has gone wrong. A new school year is a transition, and kids need time to adjust to unfamiliar teachers, classmates, expectations, and routines. Today, I'm bringing back an earlier episode about how you can support your child through that adjustment without allowing your own worries to take over. HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER: Why it's natural to feel some level of anxiety at the start of the school year. How to understand the cause of your kids' behavior, so you can help support them through their school transition. How to stay calm and confident about the new school year.

  Helping Your Child Adjust to Being Home After Sleepaway Camp - 417

  Aug 4, 202613 min

  You've been looking forward to having your child home from sleepaway camp. Then they walk through the door exhausted, disappear into their room, complain that there's nothing to do, or get annoyed the first time you remind them to put something away. It's easy to wonder: Did they miss me? Are they happy to be home? Did camp change them in ways I don't like? The transition from camp to home is bigger than it may appear. Your child is returning from a completely different world, and they may need time to figure out how the person they became at camp fits back into family life. In this episode, I'm sharing three adjustments kids make after sleepaway camp and how you can give your child room to bring their growing confidence, competence, and independence home with them. HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER: Why a wonderful camp experience can still lead to irritability, withdrawal, or complaints when your child comes home How to handle the friction that can arise when newfound independence meets familiar family expectations The overlooked adjustment that can make returning to an old family role especially difficult What you can do if your child is already home and you're thinking, "I messed this up" FEATURED IN THIS EPISODE: Episode 256 - Raising Independent Kids Experience Camps Download my free Nervous System Reset Guide for Moms HERE .

  When Your Child Is Moody: What Helps and What Doesn't - 415

  Jul 21, 202612 min

  Your child is in a bad mood. You offer suggestions, make a joke, or point out what's going well. Nothing seems to help, and before long, you're in a bad mood, too. It's easy to feel responsible for turning their mood around. But what if supporting them doesn't require changing how they feel? In this episode, I talk about why some kids seem moodier than others, why their moods can affect you so quickly, and how to support them without needing to cheer them up or taking their behavior personally, so their bad mood doesn't have to become yours. HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER: How temperament can influence what sets kids off, how they express their feelings, and how quickly they recover Why your child's mood can stir up uncomfortable feelings in you Ways to offer support without requiring your child to feel better FEATURED IN THIS EPISODE: Episode 191: Understanding Temperament Episode 414: How to Release Anger Without Taking It Out on Your Kids Download my free Nervous System Reset Guide for Moms HERE .
