Chaos to Connected - Helping Parents Navigate Challenging Behavior with Connection; Christian moms, behavior management, positive parenting, discipline, tantrums, aggression, biblical parenting
Inside this podcast you will find episodes filled with tips, tools & strategies, perspective shifts, and biblical truth to help you throughout your motherhood journey, navigating your child's behavior and your own triggers. 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!
P.S. 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!

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.

HINT: If you are struggling with behaviors, managing them with a calming space or strategies is not the first step!
Today, we are talking about a few factors I think are important to consider when you're ready to start implementing calming strategies, plus some additional tips on different ways you can incorporate them without using a calming space.

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.
