What can we do when all the usual emotional regulation techniques and strategies fall short for our child? If you've wondered this, you're in the right place. Alice is an ‘energy plumber’. She unblocks the blocks that people have when nothing else seems to 'work'. In this episode, she speaks about what happens when problems in the body, such as primitive (baby) reflexes don’t integrate into purposeful, functional behaviours. Behavioural challenges, disorganisation, learning difficulties and even anxiety (like with my own child!) can come up. And so when all the usual “tools” don’t work – it can be life-changing to be open to taking another route. Alice was captured by kinesiology when her son was unhappy, angry, impulsive, yet very bright, within 5 sessions of kinesiology she had a “different child”. Alice shared a powerful story about a client, a boy she worked with who after receiving kinesiology with her, no longer needed a whole load of supports and plans at school to get through a day, his after-school meltdowns reduced significantly, and he was no longer stuck in a pattern of strict organisation in his bedroom (a coping mechanism of anxiety). I hope you enjoy this episode and if you’re wondering whether kinesiology might help you and your child, please get in touch with Alice, here are her links: www.kinesialice.com.au All social media: @kinesialice *** If this resonates with you, I'd love to hear from you.

If you're going through a separation or divorce, and experiencing co-parenting battles, this episode is right up your alley. The challenges are quite possibly one of the hardest thing you'll ever navigate, BUT there are solutions. We discuss cutting emotional cables, dealing with poor communication, competitive parenting, emotional transition days, triggers and more. Aurisha Smolarki, LMFT and certified co-parent coach is here to explain what's underneath the triggers, the anger, the battles and the heart-wrenching pull of being a loving parent to a child whose other parent you are no longer romantically connected to. Aurisha's book is Cooperative Coparenting: The Attachment Theory Guide to Raising Kids in Two Homes. Aurisha Smolarski is a licensed marriage and family therapist, certified co-parenting coach, certified mediator, and mother, with a clinical practice in Los Angeles, CA. She specializes in working with co-parents, couples, and individuals. As a co-parent herself, she is very familiar with the challenges faced by parents raising kids in two households. For fifteen years, she has drawn on attachment theory and other modalities to help clients move from conflict to cooperation, make child-centered agreements, and create a secure co-parenting two-home family system.

Kelly Wiseman is the founder of Autisic Gem, an Aussie-based business that support neurodivergent families to go from surviving to thriving. We spoke about parenting as an ND mum, supporting multiple ND kids (in her own home and her clients), tips and tricks to help their executive function challenges and parenting each child in front of you as the individual they are. So much going on in this conversation, I absolutely loved it. Kelly is full of heart and a wealth of information and insight into ND families.

Becoming 'triggered' simply means your emotions have gotten the better of you. Ok, yes that's a tad simplistic. But my logic is that the tools that emotional intelligence give you the capacity to overcome those reactive, knee-jerk moments, and instead come from a place of calm, confidence and conviction. I mentioned my upcoming Taming Your Triggers Masterclass in this episode, live on Zoom during March 2024.

Stop doing everything for your kids! (I'm guilty too). Sometimes as parents we become overwhelmed and drained, as we do so much for our kids. Parenting is a full time job, right? Leslie Josel gets this - and she came on the podcast today to share what she knows works for parents and kids (esp those with ADHD as that's her jam). Leslie Josel is the founder of Order Out Of Chaos, an award-winning business that supports parents and kids with executive function (planning, organising, time management) challenges. We spoke about why asking questions is the key to developing problem-solving skills, and the importance of NOT answering a "question" when one was really not asked! Also how to eliminate the annoying reminders we have to give our kids every day, and what to do instead.

Meet Jen and Carrie, the OT Parent Coaches! Do you know the deep connection between emotional intelligence and sensory preferences? Most parents have no clue about this, or about the fact that there are EIGHT senses (and likely more), not just the 5 we were taught at school?! This is truly an eye-opening conversation and you'll leave feeling much more knowledgable about WHY your child sometimes erupts or digs their heels in, becomes resistant or just plain uncooperative.

Do you have a boy with big emotions, who lashes out, screams, hits, melts down, or uses aggressive behaviours?

Tosha is a visionary for changing how we see and parent our boys, particularly those who are described as disruptive, difficult or challenging.

Dr Vanessa is full of heart, kindness and compassion for parents, yet gives us a kick up the butt when we need. In this episode, we talked about what kids REALLY need from us, how to transition out of the old parenting paradigm, and even touched on the differences between discipline and punishment.

Are you baffled or triggered by your child's behaviour sometimes? Many of us parents are reaaally challenged by our children's decisions and actions; things like disrespectful language, lashing out physically, ignoring or not doing what they've been asked... it can be so stressful! In this episode I utilise emotional intelligence (of course) plus what we now know about the developing brain to show you exactly what's going on underneath the surface of your child's behaviour. Ahh it all makes sense. It's time for a complete paradigm shift on how we view our child and these challenging behaviours. When you have a deeper understanding of brain development and behaviour you begin to strengthen your relationships through connection - and get much more cooperation as a nice byproduct. *** If this resonates with you, I'd love to hear from you.

A while ago I took our youngest on a day out canoeing... and it was a NEAR disaster. I only say that because 'old me' would have lost it when she became emotional. Getting mad, yelling and maybe even threatening her. Not this time. Learning emotional intelligence has allowed me to evolve so much since those days. Follow me in my story today of what happened when things started going south, how I responded - exactly what I said and did - and the absolute MAGIC that came from it! What I didn't share in the episode (as I forgot!) was my daughter, hours later in the car going home, apologising to me unprompted for what happened. I was blown away. But really, should I be? This is the power of emotionally intelligent parenting. Kids recognising and understanding their emotions, and acknowledging when they reacted in less than ideal ways. Again, magic.

Join me as we delve into the topic, touching briefly on the realms of neuroscience and child development research, and gaining insights into the true nature of those heated moments. I'll share practical tips for navigating challenging interactions with confidence, warmth, empathy, strength, and emotional intelligence.

Get ready for a heart-to-heart on parenting in this episode. You know I love tackling the everyday challenges of raising little humans with a dose of humour and self-reflection. Well, today I'm shining the light on our parental habits that are somewhat... hypocritical (eek!). Ever caught yourself telling your child or teen to be patient while rushing them out the door? Telling them to communicate properly although you shut down or bottle feelings up? And sometimes we punish our kids' meltdowns whilst letting our own anger unleash (without repercussion I might add). It's a lot, right?! Join the conversation as I share thought-provoking reflections, three powerful self-coaching questions and a relatable story from a coaching client. Remember, it's not about being perfect—it's about growing together. Steph. *** If this resonates with you, I'd love to hear from you.

Ever felt like your child is being utterly unreasonable? Their emotions take over and they start being completely ridiculous? Join me in this episode as I delve into the emotional rollercoaster of parenting. Drawing from personal experiences, I share two stories from my own home that shed light on handling those challenging moments. Discover why reacting with anger, yelling, or shame is counterproductive, and instead, learn the power of staying calm and dialling up your emotional intelligence. I emphasize the importance of recognizing that it's not the time for logic, and allowing your child to express their emotions without judgment.

In this episode I dive a bit deeper into the world of Emotional Intelligence, and why it encompasses so much more than you think. It's not only empathy, it's not simply understanding feelings, but in fact, 26 individual competencies make EI what it truly is. Clear communication, self-awareness, resilience, integrity, teamwork, and more. It's fascinating! So in this mini masterclass, I'll walk you through the deeper layers of EI, what it looks like to have strong EI and lack EI, the difference between "EI" and "EQ" and of course what those specific 26 skill areas are.

A Punishment-Free Home With Emotional Intelligence - Ooh, is it possible?? I posted a 10-second reel on my Instagram recently about this, and it's just hit 733k views. So this was a big one that resonated with a LOT of people (for good and bad reasons). I'll post the link to the reel below so you can check it out, but I describe it in this episode and break down some of the messages behind emotionally intelligent parenting, punishment-free home, discipline, and more. I also speak about the brilliant work and research into parenting and emotional intelligence, that's come from the Gottman Institute. Their work is exceptional and so validating to this style of parenting.

So your husband's doing it all wrong? (Sorry, couldn't help it!!) Having different approaches at home can be hard. But I'm about to shift your perspective in a big way. In this episode, I share about the challenges and frustrations of parenting with emotional intelligence when your co-parent isn't on board. Perhaps they parent differently or are actively going against your method. Who's right? How do we get them to see our way? Is that even fair? The powerful quote I mentioned in the episode is from Dr Dona Matthews. She's a wonderful author, developmental psychologist and speaker, find her work at www.donamatthews.com I'd love to hear your thoughts. Are you and your co-parent struggling or finding a balance?

How do you feel about your kids watching YouTube? If you're unsure and really don't know whether it's safe or good quality viewing for them, then you need to listen to this episode! If you're also really concerned about YouTube and the content your kids are watching, but don't feel confident removing it from your home, and how to speak to your kids about it, then this really is a must-listen. I am certainly not advocating for every family to ban YouTube from their family - you may feel comfortable with it and that's OKAY too! I do however share some interesting (well, somewhat concerning) insights into what's underneath the content our kids are viewing and why we decided to remove it from our home. I also go into detail about how our kids reacted, and how we dealt with their emotions. It's been 2 weeks and we've not had a single complaint/beg/meltdown over it.

Okay, proud mum (and parent coach) moment! Let me share a story with you about how we VERY nearly had a Christmas meltdown when packing away the tree with our youngest. Emotional Intelligence and communication skills are an UNSTOPPABLE combo, trust me. These two skills have genuinely saved my bacon countless times, and my kids and I are better for it. (And actually so is my marriage!) We aren't perfect but we have speed bumps as opposed to car crashes throughout our days. And some days we even have no bumps. I don't say this to say "Look how easy parenting is" because, no. We work hard at it. We've learnt a LOT. We continue to learn and grow. But I can hand-on-heart say our home is so much calmer and such a nicer place to be now that we parent with emotional intelligence. Home is our haven. And I want that for you. Enjoy this episode, and please take away something from it that helps you - and if you can let me know I'd love that too!
