2 Mistakes Well-Intentioned Parents Make
This week we’re taking parenting tips from Hello Fresh!
In ways you may not have realized, being a parent is sort of like working in customer service. In our case, the customer isn’t always right, but the way we handle conflict may invite our child to ask for our manager! :)
Your goal as a parent is to build credibility and trust in your “brand” rather than bad reviews! As I reveal the two mistakes well-intentioned parents make, you'll be invited to reflect on your default reaction and formulate a balanced response instead.
In this episode, I share…

What to do when they won't let it go
Today's episode is a little bit of a different, more special setup. I had a fantastic coaching conversation with a parent of a 3 1/2 year-old about a situation that they were dealing with around an irrational hyperfixation they just could not get over or let go of no matter what they tried!
Listen as I dive into this universal experience and offer some more context around these situations and what I recommend.

The 3 Types of Parents of Strong-Willed Kids
Which one are you? Which one is your partner?
Not only does the second half of your parenting life begin when you understand you're parenting a strong-willed child, but your self awareness sky rockets when you realize you're a Worrying Warrior.
Your next step is to evaluate whether you're parenting with a "Just tell me what to do" parent or an "It is what it is" parent.
In this episode, I break down each of these three parenting approaches, the motives behind their actions, and wedge of divide that grows between parents that feel they need to overcompensate for the other.

Just the parenting podcast I need!
Danielle brings easy-to-apply parenting advice and simple strategies to raise our wonderfully resilient children. She makes me feel like I’m meeting up with a friend for coffee.
From a parenting coach to another
I just discovered your podcast & im so grateful. As a mom & parenting coach myself i appreciate the information you share.
First episode i listened to was the screen time!! Wow i love the depth of information you go into & the personal lens you share through.
Thank you for sharing this wealth of info. Excited to listen to more
Real content for real moms - judgement not included
This is the best podcast for moms giving their all and still feeling like they’re failing and not measuring up to some impossible Instagram or Pinterest. You hear different perspectives from other moms and feel encouraged to keep going through hard seasons (because you’re not actually failing).
