Over the past many years I’ve been coaching pare

Over the past many years I’ve been coaching parents, I discovered something.

My clients came to me because they were STRUGGLING with their kids even though there was so much parenting advice out there.

My clients need me to lay out very specific steps, mindset shifts and concrete tools so that they can stop struggling and make parenting easier. They need a clear path. That’s where I come in I *know* what they need to do and when, how and why.

Say you are struggling with teeth brushing.

I mean, I could give you 10 different strategies to get your kid to brush their teeth. But all the strategies in the world that you find on the internet won’t help if you see red or have a mom or dad tantrum when your child is *refusing* to even open their mouth, shaking their head back and forth.

(You do this every day! Why is it such an issue, right?)

We have to back up.

It’s not just about the teeth brushing. (And if you’re stuck thinking that it is, no wonder you’re having a hard time! HUGS!!!!)

It’s about the PATH-- to stay calm and get your child to cooperate in WHATEVER situation you’re in.

I’m taking the process I use in my private coaching and turning it into a comprehensive online course.

⭐Transform Your Family Life: 90 Days to LOVING Parenting and Enjoying Your Kids⭐

The course will be $497 USD when I offer it again. This week until Monday PM *only* -- you save 30% off. That makes the course only $347.

Did I mention there’s a 30-day money back guarantee? 👈🤔

I am doing something I’ve never done before. 😆😀

It’s a bit nerve-wracking, like the time I was on The Martha Stewart show having to *manage* Martha Stewart through a 20-minute segment, live in front of a studio audience.

Only with this sweat-inducing moment?

You get an opportunity that could be *honestly* game-changing for you and your family.

Because while I once thought Black Friday was a cheesy sales gimmick that got people to buy crap they don’t need instead of spending the day off with their families...

The truth is people actually *do* like to get great deals on Black Friday. And, I realized this could be a perfect opportunity for you to invest in yourself and your family.

So for the first time ever - I’m doing a Black Friday promotion that’s as shocking as your kids getting themselves ready for bed and tucked in without you reminding, nagging or begging.

The deal is coming soon. 👈

So excited already,
Sarah

Boundaries feel like…
It is not my job to fix others.
It is okay if others get angry.
It is okay to say no.
It is not my job to take responsibility for others.
I don't have to anticipate the needs of others.
It is my job to make me happy.
Nobody has to agree with me.
I have a right to my own feelings!
I am enough!

It’s easy to struggle with boundaries. This is intended to remind anyone who is struggling that you are not responsible for the happiness of others. Just your own. Enjoy this upcoming week!

A child who is experiencing difficult feelings (or

A child who is experiencing difficult feelings (or an adult!) will be whiny, demanding, rigid, bossy, easily upset and looking to fight. All those difficult feelings are swirling around inside and looking for a way out and to be healed.

If your child is misbehaving, they are literally acting out all the difficult feelings they have stored inside. They are trying to offload all the uncomfortable feelings. (Maybe you can relate: Have you ever had a bad day and come home and picked a fight with your partner?)

If we, as adults, come home after a hard day at work, we have lots of options for processing our day. (If we can avoid picking that fight!) We can talk to a friend or partner about our day, write in our journals, or just reflect on the day and its challenges. Our rational minds are well developed enough to do this. Younger children can’t process feelings intellectually yet and they often need our help to get the feelings out.

If we know this, we can recognize that they are having a hard time, not giving us a hard time and we can respond with compassion.

This is an issue that all parents have battled wit

This is an issue that all parents have battled with… This is why screen time is our monthly theme for my Peaceful Parenting Membership. I hope this helps you develop a strategy and understand the risks.

Remember: Kids’ brains get more integrated as they get older. Self-regulation with screens is almost impossible. It’s not a character flaw!

👉Screen Time Risks:
Screens can cause nervous system and brain dysregulation. Screens can negatively affect our body clock/circadian rhythm.
Too much screen can take us away from other interests and activities.
Increased incidence of social media addiction and bullying with more screen time.

👉Recommendations:
View screen time as a stimulant.
Consider a screen detox if your child has behaviour challenges.
Choose passive screen time over interactive (including educational apps or sites) Choose big screen over handheld screens.
Wait as long as possible before giving your child a cell phone or allowing social media accounts.
No screens after dark.
Schoolwork on screens should be done in a community area. Maintain screen-free zones and times.
Create family screen time guidelines (eg shows or hours per day)
Use antidotes to offset the effects of screen time: Nature, reading, music, connection, physical touch, eye contact.

👉When setting limits:
Be joyful when you say yes.
When you say no, empathize. It’s okay if they feel bad about it. You can say, “It would be so much easier for me to say yes about this but I love you enough to say no. It’s not in your best interest.”

Say yes when you can.

“I can carry it, mama!!”

Josie and her 5 year old son were walking from the post office to the car. He wanted to carry a heavy box they had just picked up.

She knew it would be easier to do it herself and she wanted to say “No, it’s too heavy.” But then she remembered that in a recent class I taught on strong-willed kids, I had advised, “Say yes whenever you can.”

So she let him carry the box.

He struggled all the way to the car but he did it! She thanked him for helping and he said, “Anytime you need help, mama-- Just ask me!”

But Josie’s little boy gained so much when his mom let him carry the box.

He learned that his mom believes in him and trusts him to do hard things.

He gained mastery. He can do hard things!

He was able to see himself as a helpful person.

But most of all, because his mom didn’t dismiss him or his request, he learned that he is a person who matters.

All of these things will contribute to his sense of positive self-worth.

In peaceful parenting, we know that we can’t always accommodate our children’s requests, but we can always consider them.

Saying yes makes the necessary “No”s a little easier for our child to bear.

Saying yes shows our child that they count. It shows our child that they are important. Saying yes helps our child develop positive self-worth.

Try saying yes today and see what happens!!
