Chaos to Connected - Helping Parents Navigate Challenging Behavior with Connection; Christian moms, behavior management, positive parenting, discipline, tantrums, aggression, biblical parenting
Do you feel like your child’s whining and tantrums are out of control? Are you wondering if what you’re seeing is actually normal? Do you feel like you are at your wits end, walking on eggshells, and/or just don’t know what to do anymore? Or maybe you feel exhausted and frustrated trying to manage your own triggers because you keep repeating the same yelling and lecturing cycle over and over again. Are you desperately trying to get your child to use a calming strategy but he/she refuses or it’s just not working? If you nodded along with any of that, you’re in the right place! Hi, I’m Kaili, pediatric occupational therapist, connection focused parent coach, and momma to 3 sweet littles. Back in 2020, I started an in-home daycare so I could stay home with my kids while making an income and let’s just say it didn’t go as planned. My oldest became very aggressive, something he had never been before. I tried all of the calming strategies and creating different spaces for him and NONE of it worked. I was really struggling because that is all I had been teaching other families to do for the last decade and to find out it wasn’t helping left me feeling even more hopeless. When I finally found the solution that transformed our family’s lives, I knew I needed to share it with other families in hopes they wouldn’t feel alone, emotionally exhausted, and spend their days wishing for naptime/bedtime like I had been. I created this podcast to give you tangible strategies to decrease your child’s behavior and also help you to learn to manage and resolve your own triggers. This podcast will help you gain more awareness and insights into child development and the root cause of your child’s behavior as well as help you break generational patterning that isn’t serving you. Inside this podcast you will find episodes filled with tips, tools, perspective shifts, and biblical truth to help you throughout your motherhood journey. Most of what I share is going to go against your natural responses and what mainstream will tell you to do, but that is because it includes what most of society is missing when they look at children and their behavior…CONNECTION. It is a vital necessity for all of us to operate out of our thinking brains and use logic, problem solving, reasoning, judgment, and impulse control, specifically when it comes to our responses and behaviors. While these strategies can be implemented for all ages, I focus primarily on 1-10 year olds since that is what I have most personal and professional experience with. If you want to stop feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and on the verge of your breaking point and truly make shifts in your parenting, your actions, thoughts, and responses, to gain more clarity, peace, and joy in your home, then let’s get to it! I know it can feel hard to step into the unknown, especially because you feel like you’ve tried it all, and honestly sometimes it feels easier to stay in a harder place because it’s familiar. But it’s not what God has for you or your child(ren). So take a minute, breathe deeply, and then join me as we jump into managing behaviors with connection!

Join me as I talk with Caitlyn Martinez, Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and thyroid extraordinaire all about the building blocks of our health.
One of the biggest things I hear from moms is that it is really difficult to manage their own triggers. Your brain works all day to manage and hold in feelings, some hurts we don't even realize we are carrying. When your brain is working on overdrive because you haven't eaten in 6 hours or you skipped lunch altogether or your blood sugar is out of whack, it has a ripple effect on your parenting. Your brain has too much going on that it no longer has enough energy to maintain your control and you are more easily triggered.
Today we chat about:
-tips to help busy moms improve their nutrition
-tips for meal planning/prep
-hormone health
-key symptoms to look for when determining if you might need some additional help with your hormone health/nutrition

Do you ever find yourself comparing your motherhood journey to another mom's? Maybe it's a friend, a family member, or even someone you follow on IG.
When you are struggling with behaviors, it can be difficult to get out of the mindset that they somehow manage to have it all figured out and they aren't dealing with the same behavioral issues as you are.
The truth is...behavior is NORMAL and should be expected. We only see a small snapshot of people's lives. Plus, if they aren't utilizing connection strategies in their parenting then it will definitely look a lot different.
We also talk about 4 reasons why, if you've come to connection focused parenting, you should stick it out for the long run.

In order to manage our child's behavior, we first have to manage our own ....and this can definitely be a challenge. Our child's behavior can re-stimulate our own triggers which is what stirs up those feelings that bubble over and lead us to yell or shame or punish and further that mom guilt we feel.
Today, I cover 3 things to remind yourself of when you encounter another tantrum or meltdown that will help you manage your own emotions so you can support your child through his/hers.

Have you ever noticed that your child has more behaviors after screen time?
What if I told you there is a reason for these behaviors beyond being overstimulated?
Screen time is naturally disconnecting if you don't know what to do to make it a time of connection. Disconnection leads to our child's signaling, otherwise known as behavior, and often more frustration for us.
Today, I share 4 ways to bring connection back into screen time and reduce the increase of behaviors.

As a pediatric occupational therapist, I am keenly aware of how often we are utilizing calming spaces to solve our child's behavioral issues. In fact, it was a big part of my role as an outpatient provider.
While I don't think there is anything wrong with calming spaces and strategies, after all they are needed sometimes, I do think there is one major thing that we are missing.
Listen in as I discuss what that is and how you can utilize it the next time you are finding yourself amidst the behaviors and feeling resistance from your child in utilizing their calming space or strategies!
Don't forget to subscribe! Next week, I dive into the second part of this series and chat all things calming spaces and strategies!

There are a lot of things we could debate about when it comes to what we should or shouldn't say in front of your children.
Today, I want to share with you 3 words/phrases that I think are important to be aware of and remove as much as possible from your vocabulary to help improve overall development and mental health as your child ages.
Plus, I give you examples of how to shift those words/phrases into something that can provide emotional benefit to them in a variety of situations and environments.
