In Episode 143, Kyle and Sara, LPC’s, delve into the second part of our Core Four series. Now that we have discussed the brain, let’s start talking about behavior and emotions. Most of us were raised in homes where the discipline techniques used by the parents were behavior based. Over the past 40 years we have a better understanding of what lies behind the behaviors. The behavior is really just a symptom of an underlying problem. When we coach parents, we want them to know how to look past the behaviors and see the emotions that are motivating and informing them. In this podcast, Sara and I share specific techniques to help them shift from changing behavior to understanding emotion. This will help children not be controlled or “bossed” around by their big feelings. They will instead be able to understand them and choose what they want to do with them.

In Episode 142, Kyle and Sara, LPC’s, start 2025 with the first of four podcasts where we share what we are calling our Core Four (don’t know if we will stick with that or not). These are 4 parenting principles we found were crucial in helping us move away from using fear, punishment, and shame with our kids. In this first part of the series we dive into helping our listeners understand their child’s developing brain and the science of interpersonal neurobiology. I know that sounds really scientific but we do our best to make this very practical and usable because it is a part of every interaction we have with our kids. This is a must listen and a vital concept that will encourage and empower every parent who wants to create a healthier family.

In Episode 140, Kyle and Sara, LPC’s, discuss how to turn a failed parenting moment into an opportunity to learn and grow. Kyle shares a recent moment when he got mad at the kids and reverted back to using shame and fear to change their behavior. We discuss the steps we took as a family to turn this situation into something that actually brought us closer as a family. We know that parents run into so many opportunities just like this because of all the stress and expectations we face during Christmas and New Year. We want to remind everyone that parenting isn’t about doing it perfectly, it is about growing and learning from our mistakes and creating the family we want with our kids.
