Rewards Are Punishments in Disguise

For years, I thought I was doing everything right. I had left the yelling behind. I praised my girls constantly; I made star charts. I was a trained teacher and a school counselor, and I believed with my whole heart that catching kids being good was the kind, positive way to parent. I thought I was building my daughters up. What I could not see was that I was quietly teaching them that my warmth was something they had to earn. The thing that cracked it open for me was watching my sensitive oldest, Esme. She had decided her teacher loved her or hated her depending on how many stars she got that day, and she was holding it together at school and falling apart the second she got home to me. That was when I realized the reward system I was fighting at her school was the same one I had been running at home. In this episode, I share what I learned: why praise and punishment are not opposites, why the carrot stops working, and what to say to your child instead so they grow up knowing who they are rather than watching you to find out who to be.

Divorce Solutions Podcast-How to deal with a Narcissistic Ex

Send us Fan Mail The words Narcissist and Gaslighting are two of the most overused and common words in society today. The truth is we do live in a much more self-centred society these days, but not everyone we believe is a Narcissist is truly one by the clinical standards of the DSM. However, if it walks like, talks like and acts like a narcissist, there's a very good chance, regardless of formal diagnoses, that the person IS, in fact, a narcissist. About 20 percent of divorce cases involve at least one party who is narcissistic sometimes both parties are and sometimes one party and their new partner display these very harmful characteristics and make life literal hell for their children and the stable ex who just wants to move on... In this episode Jamie shares a bit about his own traumatizing 9 year journey in dealing with a narcissisitic ex. Together with lawyer Tracy Miller and Divorce Coach Dawn Shandley the truth about narcissistic exes in revealed. Here's a hint..they never stop but you can stop them if you know how.
