    Resilience

    The recent fires in Los Angeles (not far from where I live) have me thinking a lot about resilience. As I hear more and more stories of families who are displaced, who have lost their homes, I’m overwhelmed by thoughts of the resilience that these individuals, families, and communities will need in order to recover. You’ll Learn: What resilience is and why it’s so important to start practicing at a young ageWhy parents try to prevent pain for the kids (and why we shouldn’t)3 strategies for helping your child build resilience When we experience adversity, it’s almost like we’re being forged in a fire to become stronger and more beautiful. So as parents, how can we develop resilience in our kids so that they can overcome adversity and hard things throughout their lives?  ----------------------------------------- Preventing PainWe want our children to face disappointment with bravery, courage, and strength. But at the same time, we often try to prevent them from ever experiencing hardship. When your kid is struggling, you might feel guilty because you see their discomfort as a kind of failure on your part. Try shifting your thinking to, “Hard things are gonna be inevitable, and my job is not necessarily to prevent those things. My job is to equip my child so that they are able to experience pain, discomfort, and hardship, and overcome it so that they become more and more resilient.” Another big reason why parents don’t like their kids to experience hardship is because they feel ill-equipped to deal with their child’s big feelings (and the crying and complaining that come with it). Parents even fear that going through hard things will “break” their kids.  The truth is, humans aren’t actually that breakable. And you can’t prevent your kids from ever getting hurt or going through tough things. Even if you did it “perfectly”, it is impossible to stop anything bad from ever happening to your child. And you’ll burn yourself out in the process. Kids are going to face challenges from potty training accidents to not getting into the college of their choice and many, many experiences in between. Life is filled with beauty and pain and loss. Hard things and really beautiful things.  In fact, you don’t really even want to protect your kids from all hardship. Preventing problems (or trying to) creates a different set of problems. It’s important for our kids to experience small disappointments so that they feel confident in their ability to overcome those hard things. Give them your support, care, and love through tough times.  Resilience is really all about this internal belief that’ “I'm okay. I can handle it. I'm good enough. I can figure things out.” It's a mindset that comes from the inside. If you let your kids go through little hardships as they age - struggling to put on their shoes, going back up to the bedroom and remaking their bed, losing their water bottle and having to pay $10 to buy a new one - it will give them that inner belief that they can handle it.   Building ResilienceIt’s natural for big feelings to come along with a difficult or uncomfortable situation. Processing feelings allows us to overcome them.  When you give your kids space to cry, to grieve, to be sad, mad, hurt, frustrated, or afraid, their nervous system will find its way back to equanimity, balance, and calm. You can give them the tools to process those negative emotions. Don’t rush to problem solving or finding the silver lining. Building resilience really comes from allowing the pain, hurt, sadness, anger, or frustration to be fully digested and processed by the nervous system. Trust that your child can handle those feelings.  If it seems that your...

    How To Decide About Sports & Extracurriculars

    There are so many options out there for sports and extracurriculars for kids…and so many questions that come with them. Should you have your kids play sports? When? Should you make them stick with something they hate? The list goes on and on. You’ll Learn: How to create more opportunities for free play (including windows of screen-free time)The difference between structured & free play and the benefits of bothHow to decide which sports and extracurricular activities to commit toWhat to do when your kid “doesn’t feel like it” Today, I’ll give you some guidance on all of these questions. And we’re not just talking about sports. Whether it’s football, gymnastics, music, religious education, learning a new language (or pretty much anything else you can come up with), this episode will help you decide what’s best for your child and your family. ----------------------------------------- Formal vs. Free PlayOne important distinction to make between kids’ activities is whether it is formal (i.e. structured and usually adult led) or free play (open, freely chosen and participant led).  Lego is a good example. Using instructions to build a kit is an example of formal play, whereas making their own creations from a bunch of random blocks is free play.  Free play is play without a purpose in mind. Think Hot Wheels, playing with dolls, pretending to cook, having a party with stuffed animals, etc. It’s all just for fun. They’re not trying to achieve anything except what they’re doing in the moment.  Plus, there are a lot of benefits that come with open play, including better emotional regulation, self-soothing, problem solving, resilience and knowing their own likes and dislikes. They learn to manage conflict with their playmates. For the most part, kids under age 5 do not need to be in any organized sports or activities. Their primary job at this stage is to learn how to move their body, listen, understand basic rules and directions, and play with others. They are likely getting plenty of formal training during preschool or kindergarten, and they don’t really need more than that.  I often see parents wanting to put kids in activities because they struggle to keep their children entertained all day. Their kids are restless, overwhelmed, dysregulated, and easily bored. As an adult, it feels good to bring in some structure and put something on the calendar. There’s nothing wrong with this, but I want you to recognize that it is for you, not for them.  When kids aren’t used to this open, unstructured time, they’re going to be uncomfortable figuring out what to do with themselves. They’re used to having a lot of direction from grown-ups. As the parent, you might see this and think that your child only does well when they’re in a programmed environment, but it’s really just a skill they haven’t developed yet. Ultimately, we want to see kids having more and more time in free play. This looks like kids moving their bodies with open-ended equipment (e.g. blocks, figures, scooters, balls, trampoline, etc.). Imaginative play is the beauty of being a kid, and we want to give them as many opportunities as we can to do that.  Rather than running soccer drills, give them a chance to kick, run and play. Go to the park and set them loose to run, pretend, and make up their own games. Let them jump off low walls, muck around in the mud, play tag, have foot races, pretend to sword fight, and use their body to develop their muscles and motor skills. And if they want to play sports later, this experimentation and movement is also how athleticism is built.    Pros & Cons of Structured ActivityWhen your kids are in organized sports and activities, it takes away time for the free, open play we know they...

    Reimagining Resolutions in 2025

    If you’re setting goals or resolutions for 2025, this episode is for you! This year, I was asked a question that stopped me in my tracks and shifted my entire approach to goal setting. The end result was goals that made me feel joyful instead of s****y. Now, I’m sharing that question with you. You’ll Learn: My theme for the yearWhy thinking you need to “fix yourself” will sabotage your goalsHow to use the 7 “life areas” to set meaningful goals The reflection question that stopped me in my tracks Listen to learn the process I used to create a vision, goals and some actions steps for 2025.  ------------------------------ This year, I was asked a question that stopped me in my tracks and shifted my entire approach to goal setting. What about your life doesn’t need to improve or change? When I read the question, I immediately felt myself push against it. I was like, “Oh, I don't want to think about what’s going well.” To be honest, it took me a couple of days to get back to this question.  Maybe you’re like me when it comes to goal setting: I usually approach them from a kind of a “manager type” - let's find out all the problems in this system, and let's address those problems.  I usually start with questions like: Where are the gaps? Where are the problems? What are the things that are going wrong? What needs a Re-Solution? The “fix it, change it, stop it, solve it” thing.  But this year, when I opened up Ameila Knott’s “Reimagining Resolutions” workbook and she asked me to look at “What about my life doesn't need to improve or change?" I saw very clearly how much I was using goal-setting as a “whip” to compare, measure, and criticize myself. (This workbook is SOOO good, and Amelia is sharing it with the Calm Mama community for free! Get your copy of Reimagining Resolutions by clicking here.)     Reimagining Resolutions in 2025Creating goals and dreams from a negative headspace of scarcity and “not good enough-ness” is like letting our inner critic give us a pep-talk. Not fun. (My inner critic can be pretty mean, although she’s much nicer than she used to be.)  When we let our most negative self define us, we’re left feeling “less than” and hopeless. No wonder most of us give up on our goals by mid-January… But this year, very cool things happened when I spent time reflecting on my life from a place of gratitude, hope, satisfaction and contentment. Mostly I didn’t feel like shit. Instead I felt so joyful! The best thing you can do for yourself right now is... Imagining that your life is GREAT exactly as it is today. Acknowledging what you’ve already achieved and created. Giving yourself credit for the things you’ve overcome.  This is the mindset you want to be in BEFORE you think about what you want to create or do in 2025. From that headspace, you can take a look at the 7 major life areas (Spirit, Mind & Emotions, Body, Relationships, Livelihood, Play, and Space & Things) and decide if you WANT to work on anything new or different. I talk all about these in the episode.  You don’t have to do any of this, btw. You can let everything be good exactly as it is. Contentment is a super power.   Free Resources:Get your copy of the Stop Yelling Cheat Sheet!

    My Parenting Regrets

    Many people believe that thinking about regrets is a waste of time or unimportant. But I think it can actually be informative and instructive. Today, I’m sharing some of my parenting regrets as I look back on the decisions I made when my kids were younger. I want to show you how you can use regret in a positive, supportive way. You’ll Learn: Why regret can actually be a good thingRegrets I have from my own parenting journeyHow to handle regret in a compassionate and useful wayHow to use regret as fuel for your future goals But regret doesn’t need to be destructive. You can process those feelings and then use that regret to fuel you. It can lead to forgiveness, a deeper compassion for yourself or action toward changes you want to make in your life. --------------------------------- As we wrap up 2024, it’s a good time to reflect on where you’re at and do some gentle reflection. Through this process, you may notice mistakes you made or areas of your life where you don’t think you’re doing that great. Often, when we think or talk about our mistakes, we end up feeling a lot of embarrassment and shame around them. We tend to beat ourselves up, and we don’t really know what to do with those regrets.  But regret doesn’t need to be destructive. You can process those feelings and then use that regret to fuel you. It can lead to forgiveness, a deeper compassion for yourself or action toward changes you want to make in your life. Instead of ignoring it and pushing forward, you can gain something from that mistake or regret.    Dealing with Regret as a MomIt’s normal to make mistakes as a mom.  It is normal for you to pick an educational path and then decide that it wasn't right for your kid.  It's normal to make them stay in a sport and then find out that they were getting a chronic injury that you didn’t know about.  You're going to act in ways you don’t love.  You’ll create disconnection with your kids.  You'll sometimes say things the wrong way or say things you wish you hadn't.  You’re going to push your kid too hard sometimes and not hard enough at others.  It’s impossible to do motherhood perfectly. Especially when so many of the decisions we make as moms are based on an unknown future. You make the best decision you can at the time with whatever kind of capacity you have. And that’s okay. You don’t want to do it perfectly anyway. Because when you make a mistake, you learn from it, grow and change. When you feel regret starting to creep in… Accept that you have limited capacity. Not everything can be the most important thing. If there is something you can’t fully commit to now, you might regret it later. This is where forgiveness comes in. Instead of getting stuck in the coulda, woulda, shoulda, you can say, “Well, I guess I didn’t have it in me at that time.” Balance compassion and responsibility. This is the same thing we try to do for our kids. You don’t need to bury yourself in guilt and shame. But you do want to be willing to accept feedback, take an honest look at the situation.  Love yourself through the process of using your mistakes to serve you instead of hurt you. This way, when your kid comes to you with feedback, you can receive it without it crushing you. You can be ready to make amends, apologize or make things right.  Here are five ways to handle regret when it comes up. Undo it. As soon as you realize you’re making a mistake, go back and fix it. “At least” it. If you can’t go back and fix it, reframe the situation for yourself. Look at it from another angle and try to find the positive. What is good...

    Winter Break Tips

    Winter break can be hard for us and our kids. What often happens is we sort of just start going into the holiday season and winter break without a plan or being prepared.  You’ll Learn: How to get through winter break without feeling exhausted and sick by the endWays to support your kids and decrease meltdownsWhat to do when your kid is disappointed by a change in plans or something not going the way they hopedHow to find more “sparkle” and delight this winter break In today’s encore episode, I’ll give you 4 winter break tips for you and 4 tips for your kids. You’ll learn strategies to take better care of yourself, feel less overwhelmed, be compassionate with your kids and reduce meltdowns.  ------------------------------------- Today, I hope you’ll feel empowered to put the brakes on if you need to so that you can actually enjoy this time with your kids and have fun doing the things you want to do this holiday season.   Get What You Want Out of Winter BreakIn order to have the experience you want this winter break, you have to know what that is. What do you want? Before any sort of winter break, holiday, summer experience, vacation, birthday party, or anything like that, I spend a few minutes making my own personal bucket list of what I want to do or experience and how I want to feel during that experience.  I’m a big fan of chasing the feelings we want. What feelings do you want to chase during this break? Maybe you want to feel connected, calm, or joyful. When you know how you want to feel (and what kinds of things make you feel that way), it’s easier to make a plan.  Decide in advance what you want to feel, and then make a plan to create opportunities for it. Look at your calendar and figure out what you want to do and when you will do it. For example, if you want to create intentional one-on-one time with each kid, decide when it’s going to happen, put it on the calendar and communicate the plan to your family.  And as you look at what’s already on the schedule, ask yourself why you are doing it and if it aligns with how you want to feel. Remember, you don’t have to do it all.   Winter Break TipsWhen you are overwhelmed and you have no time or energy to take care of yourself, it's gonna take away from enjoying the season with your kids. These four strategies will help you to be more calm and present this winter break.   Tip #1: Be realistic about your schedule and to-do list. Before you jump into a bunch of activities, take a moment to ask yourself, “What can I actually handle right now? What’s been going on for my kids, and how are they doing?” Think about how much time, energy and mental capacity you have.  If you’re really depleted (or if you just know it’s always a disaster when you go out to eat in a restaurant) I want you to opt out and say no. Change your plans rather than push yourself.    Tip #2: Stop people-pleasing. Similar to the first tip, this is about not doing things that are outside of what you want to do or what you can handle.  When you try to please others by going outside of what you have capacity for, you end up feeling like crap. You don’t enjoy the thing or you feel resentful or you get home and dump all your overwhelm and feelings on your kids.  It is okay for you to disappoint people, change your plans or decline invitations. Friends or family might feel a little sting when you say no, but that negative feeling will likely pass quickly.   Tip #3: Ask for help. This is a hard one for moms. We feel like it’s our job to do all the holiday stuff, but sometimes there are people in our lives who actually want to

    Giving Allowance to Teach Financial Literacy

    Recently, I’ve coached a few different moms about allowance and chores. These concepts often go together, but I think about them as two separate pieces. Today, I’ll teach you how to use giving allowance to teach financial literacy to your kids.  You’ll Learn: Why I don’t believe you should pay your kid to do choresFinancial lessons all kids should learnThe value of giving an allowanceHow to use allowance to teach financial literacy  Giving allowance gives your kid the ability to have some money in their pocket so they can learn how to spend, how to save, how to have regret, and how to feel proud. Listen to learn how. ---------------------------------- Why Financial Literacy MattersManaging money is a skill - and an important one. When you want to teach your kids how to read, you give them books. When you want to teach your kids about their feelings, you emotionally coach them about their feelings. When you want to teach them how to count or do math, you give them small items that they can count and manipulate. So if you want to teach your kids about money, you have to give them some money.  There are a lot of things I want my kids to learn and understand about money. In order to do that, they have to make decisions and have a lot of different experiences with money. I want them to experience the feeling of having some money and then spending it. I want them to spend money and be thrilled by the purchase. And I also want them to have the feeling of spending money on something that’s not good quality that breaks right away or that they regret. I want them to have the feeling of saving their money in order to get something. But I also want them to have the feeling of wanting something and not having enough because they didn't save. I even want them to have the experience of paying for fines. Sometimes, in life, we make a mistake and we have to pay money to fix it.  Ultimately, I want them to experience both success and failure when it comes to making decisions and spending money. This is how we learn.   The Allowance-Chores ConnectionMy take on allowance and chores might be a little different than you’re used to. While the two are connected, I don’t actually believe that you should pay your kids to do chores.  Allowance is meant to teach financial literacy. Chores teach kids how to be in community. As a part of your family community, they should participate and help out…just because they live there. Both help teach responsibility. So if you’re not paying your kid to do chores, how do they fit together? As a member of the family, your child will have jobs to do around the house. There will be expectations for them to meet.  If they don’t do their jobs, what happens? Often, you end up doing the job for them, and they’ll need to pay you back for the time and energy it took you to do that.  Not doing their chore is a mistake. When you make mistakes, you have to pay for them in some way. You have to make it right. One way is for them to pay you back in time. If you did one of their chores, they can do one of yours. Another way is to pay you back in money. For example, you might give your kid $5 a week for allowance. One night, you realize they didn’t take out the trash, so you do it before bed. The next day (or the next time you pay allowance), you say, “This chore that I did cost $1,” so they owe you that or you take it out of their allowance for the next week.  The shift is that the amount of their allowance is set, but you are docking their pay for things they didn’t do.    Giving Allowance to Teach Financial LiteracyThese are some tips and things to think about to use an allowance as a financial literacy...

    Giving Your Kid Their First Phone with Kristi Bush

    Parents often ask me about how to approach giving their kid a phone for the first time. Today on the podcast, I’m joined by Kristi Bush, founder of Protect Our Kids. We’re talking about strategies to use before you give them the phone, as well as tools for monitoring their use.  You’ll Learn: Examples of kids accessing internet content that they shouldn’t (and how it often happens)Why it’s important to have boundaries and guidelines from the startCommon pitfalls of gaming consolesHow to prepare for giving your kid their first phoneStrategies for monitoring device use If you’re concerned about technology use and want to establish good practices in your family, you’re going to love this conversation! ------------------------------- Kristi Bush is a coach and speaker who helps families navigate the overwhelming challenges of social media and devices. She’s worked with kids and families for many years, including as a licensed social worker. She combines science and storytelling to give a unique perspective of the benefits and threats associated with social media and technology.    Giving Your Kid Their First PhoneKids are curious (they’re supposed to be!). But this curiosity can lead them to seeing things online that are not developmentally appropriate. Using technology and social media is a skill. Your responsibility as a parent is to teach your kids those skills, slowly and in stages. You don’t want to jump in with an all-access pass right away.  Kristi agrees with the guideline of waiting until 8th grade before giving your child a smartphone. However, she also acknowledges that some families might need ways to communicate with kids who travel home from school on their own, have sports, etc.  So, how do you know when it’s the right time? First of all, don’t give your kid a device if they aren’t even asking for it. This is just a win for you as a parent. Kristi says that parents’ relationships with their kids change after they get that first phone, “Once you give your child a phone, you will always wonder, are they okay? What are they doing?” It changes the whole dynamic. You’ll know that they have access to some pretty serious things and that you’ll need to have some adult conversations. Of particular concern are pornography, predators and bullying. Your kid might see things that really stick with them.  The other concern is when your specific child is mentally, emotionally and psychologically ready for the responsibility of a phone. This answer is different for everyone, even within the same family. If your kid is already obsessed with gaming or their appearance (which can be intensified with constant access to a camera), these issues will be magnified if they have a phone that is with them all the time.  Ultimately, Kristi wants parents to feel good about their decision. She talks to a lot of parents who gave their child a phone because all the other kids their age had one, but they didn’t feel okay with that choice. The decision was driven by fear that their kid would be left behind socially, and they didn’t follow their gut.  Whenever your kid jumps into texting, social media, etc., they will catch up. They won’t be left behind. Just as with other developmental stages and skills like potty training and reading, it’s okay for every kid to be on their own timeline.    Set Up StrategiesHere are some steps and strategies to prepare your child and their new device: Decide (along with your co-parent if you have one) on the boundaries and guidelines ahead of time. Set up the phone with passcodes, settings, etc. before you give it to your child. This way, it will be ready for them to use as soon as they open...

    A Simple Family Gratitude Practice

    Today is Thanksgiving in the U.S., so I’m sharing a simple gratitude practice that you can do as a family, along with a guided gratitude meditation. What you focus on is what you create more of. When you focus on things that bring you joy and delight, you’re going to feel better and more positive about your life.  You’ll Learn: Why your kid isn’t wrong for wanting thingsHow to flip the wish list into a simple family gratitude practiceWhat I’m thankful forA guided meditation to bring more gratitude into your life Gratitude is a powerful tool for feeling more content in your life. Instead of chasing after something new, better, different, more, we can learn to appreciate the things we have. ------------------------------------- The Antidote to EntitlementIf you’re reading this around the time it comes out, we’re heading into the holiday season. If you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah or another gift-giving holiday, your kids probably have gifts on the brain.  First, I want to remind you that this is normal. Kids naturally have a lot of desire. It’s okay for them to want things and ask for things. It’s also okay for them to not get those things and feel disappointed. But, if you’ve worried that your kid is going to be spoiled, entitled or always wanting, wanting, wanting… The antidote is gratitude.   A Simple Family Gratitude PracticeThis gratitude practice is about being okay with desire, wants and the wish list.  In fact, this exercise is kinda like a wish list in reverse. Challenge your kids (and yourself) to ask themselves… What are some things that you used to want that you now have? Look back on these things and take a moment to be grateful for them.  It doesn’t have to be formal, or even written down. Just start a conversation. You can use some of the prompts below to get you started: Do you remember what was on your wish list last year? Did you get it? Isn't it amazing that you used to want something, and now you have it? Do you still love it? Are you glad you have it?  It doesn’t have to be stuff. You can also express gratitude for an experience, relationship or opportunity.  We’re cultivating the ability to reflect and be thankful, challenging the brain to think of things in a slightly different way.  This podcast was something I wanted for a long time. I am so thankful for you and for the opportunity to share the things I’ve learned. I’m grateful for my difficult experience as a mom because it allows me to connect with you and help make your life a little bit easier and more calm. If you want to listen to the guided meditation in the podcast recording, you can find it at [8:54].
