Bitch, You Doin' A Good Job Destini Ann

So many tools. I love gentle parenting tools!!

I use redirection, nonviolent communication, time-ins, etc. all the time.
But I'm not always sure of what the "right" tool is.

So in this episode, Michelle tells us how to consciously use the tools we're learning.

We talk about triggers, sibling rivalry, and even hitting.

All the things that'll make us pull our hair out if we are not conscious!

I'M SHOOK! We've been bedsharing and cosleeping for years. It only took 4 days to sleep train my 5 yo. I'm a gentle parent for sure so I wasn't about to be locking her in her room or ignoring her crying. And honestly, I wasn't forcing her to sleep. No ma'am. The goal was really just for her to get out of my bed and into hers. So we'll call this "bed training."

I honestly haven't slept this well in a long time, and I'm really excited to share with you exactly how I did it!

You know I love a good breakdown, so in this episode, I discuss the 4 C's that helped me get through this week peacefully.

Weekly parenting support from Bryana Kappadakunnel'sFollow her on instagram.Get one-on-one coaching
When I became a mother, I knew exactly what I wanted. I had a vision of what my relationship would look like and even how I wanted my daughter to feel on a day to day basis. 

I wanted her to be confident and know that she was loved. 

So naturally it was really devestating to see her struggle with some of the things I struggled with growing up. I thought I had the perfect formula, but my delusions were quickly humbled.

This has truly been a journey of mourning the loss of the parent child picture I had in my head.  But it's also been a story of triumph through acceptance. 

And that's exactly what today's episode is about.

Bryana does such a graceful job at painting this picture and walking us through the process of radical acceptance.

I was so captivated by this conversation, and I believe you will be too. 

Bryana Kappadakunnel is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (90464), an Infant-Family Early Childhood Mental Health Specialist, a Perinatal Mental Health

Yes, I’m a gentle parent and no, I don’t believe my kids are going to listen to me every time I ask them to do something. However, that doesn’t mean that it isn’t an expectation in my house. I do expect cooperation and collaboration from my kids. But the level of support matches the expectation. It’s always about teaching the behavior rather than forcing it. For me anyway!

So in this episode, I share 3 ways to MOTIVATE your child to listen. 
It’s important to remember that every child is different and that no one tool is the holy grail.
However, the more tools you have in your toolbelt, the better equipped you are to handle a multitude of parenting challenges.

I'm just checking in!
In other episodes, we talk about practical tools for growing in our motherhood journey.
But one of the best tools I can give you is heightened awareness and the ability to look inside yourself and examine where your parenting strategies are personally coming from.

So in this checkin, we're talking about fear and how it's impacting our reactions to our sweet babies!!

I'm just really freakin' confident in my parenting style. I am a conscious, gentle, intentional parent.

That's it. I'm not perfect. I'm not getting everything right. But I believe that the decisions I'm making are aligned with who I want to be as a parent.
And that makes me feel really confident in my choices

So in this episode, I dig into this topic more specifically and discuss how I'm becoming the most confident version of myself every single day!
