• 83: "Why Am I So Angry at My Kids?”: You're Not Broken, You're Repeating Cycles, with Shelly Robinson.

  Have you ever found yourself snapping at your kids and then sinking into a wave of guilt, thinking, “I swore I’d be different!!!” 😭In this powerful and heart-opening episode of the Emotionally Intelligent Parenting Podcast, I’m joined by Shelly Robinson, conscious parenting coach and founder of Raising Yourself. We’re diving deep into the life-changing work of reparenting—what it really means, why it’s so essential, and how it helps you respond to your kids with calm and compassion instead of reacting from old wounds.You’ll hear the raw story of a mum I coached who broke down mid-session, struggling with her anger and shame. And if that feels familiar—if your reactions feel bigger than the moment—you are not alone.Together, Shelly and I explore:🩷 How despite all the effort we give, we cannot rely on willpower alone to parent consciously 🩷 Why reparenting your inner child is the key to breaking generational patterns🩷 The truth about anger (and what it’s really trying to tell us)🩷 How to let go of guilt and lean into self-compassion🩷 A gentle guided inner child reparenting exercise you can do with us.And don’t miss Shelly’s one-liner that might just shift your whole perspective:🌟 "Your parents have an inner child too."If you’re ready to feel less reactive, more in control, and truly seen in your parenting journey, this one’s for YOU.Find Shelly here:IG: https://www.instagram.com/raising_yourself/FB: https://www.facebook.com/raisingyourselfW: https://www.shellyrobinson.com🌟🌟🌟 Hi, I'm Stephanie Pinto.

• 82: So You Lost Your Sh*t. Now Learn the Real Way to Repair (and Teach Your Kids How To) with Emotional Intelligence.

  Messing up as a parent: It’s not IF, it’s WHEN. 😅Trust me, even I mess up and I speak on Emotional Intelligence daily, I run conferences on it, I have courses and a book on it... so let me give you permission to lose your cool too!!However - we DO need to talk about the messy, completely normal experience of losing your cool, whether it’s yelling at the kids, snapping at your partner, or going quiet and shutting down. Especially what to do AFTER the blow-up, and how to handle it with your kids.Because emotional intelligence isn’t about being calm all the time. It’s about learning how to repair, reconnect, and actually teach our kids to do the same.I talk about:💥 Why it’s 100% human to lose your cool sometimes🧠 What’s going on in your brain and body when you snap or shut down❤️ How to do a proper repair (not just a quick “sorry”)🧒🏼 How to TEACH your kids to repair when they muck up too😶 And what to do if you’re someone who goes quiet after conflictIf you’ve ever ended the day thinking, “Ugh, why did I do that…”, this one’s for you. Let’s normalise the mess-ups and get really good at the bounce-back. 💛 Steph.🌟🌟🌟 Hi, I'm Stephanie Pinto.

  Hi all, today on the Emotionally Intelligent Parenting podcast I'm diving deep into a game-changing topic that will profoundly shift the way you view your child's behaviour: HIDDEN TRIGGERS.Have you ever had a moment when your child or teen suddenly melts down over what seems like nothing? One moment they're fine, but the next, it's chaos over the "wrong" snack, the innocent question you asked, or a change in plans. You're left wondering, "What the heck just happened?!" Yep. I've been there too.So today, I'm letting you in on the truth: your kids aren't being difficult; they're responding to unseen triggers that their brains and nervous systems register long before they can articulate their feelings. Imagine if you could spot these triggers before they escalate into emotional blow-ups?! That’s the power of emotional intelligence in parenting! Trust me.Today I've got 11 hidden triggers that can sneakily and instantly impact your child’s emotions and behaviour, along with a few practical solutions for each that you can implement right away to support them in a more emotionally intelligent way. I explore everything from sensory overload and hunger to the effects of parental stress and overwhelming expectations.You'll hear about:Overstimulation and sensory sensitivities"Hangry” meltdownsKeeping your kids hydrated (seriously!)Creating a supportive emotional climate that models self-regulationHow to create smoother transitions between activitiesPerceived injustices (definitely a hidden trigger for many kids!)Physical discomforts and pain that you can't seeAdjusting your expectations to fit their developmental level (NOT age)Conflict exposureAnd the last one I'll keep a secret cause it's my ultimate favourite - sorry not sorry! Here's where you can really deepen your emotional intelligence and see the results... less conflict, fewer arguments, reduced yelling - seriously! And more calm, connection, and understanding.Tune in and let me give you a few more tools to navigate your kids' big emotions with grace and emotional intelligence.🌟🌟🌟 Hi, I'm Stephanie Pinto.

• 80: Dr. Mona Delahooke On What's REALLY Driving Your Child's Big Behaviours.

  Ever hear people throw around terms like “fight, flight, freeze,” “nervous system,” or “relational safety” and think… what are they actually talking about? Yep, me too.As a parent (and someone who works with families), I didn’t really understand what those phrases meant... until I came across Mona Delahooke’s work. And let me tell you, once I did, everything about my kids’ behaviour suddenly made a LOT more sense!In this special re-release of our 2022 interview, Mona - who’s a clinical psychologist with over 30 years of experience - breaks down the science behind those frustrating, baffling behaviours our kids send our way.But this isn’t just theory—Mona shares practical, real-life strategies to help you stay calm and support your child when they’re overwhelmed.This conversation feels even more meaningful today because, in 2023, Mona survived a brain aneurysm—an experience that’s led her to slow down and prioritize her health. I feel so lucky we still have her voice and wisdom to learn from, and I’m beyond grateful to share this life-changing conversation with you.In this episode, we dive into:✅ Why your child’s “bad behaviour” is often a sign their nervous system is in distress✅ How understanding the brain makes parenting so much easier (and less stressful!)✅ Simple, effective ways to respond without yelling, punishing, or losing your coolIf you’re ready to stop feeling frustrated and start feeling empowered, this one’s for you.🌟🌟🌟 Hi, I'm Stephanie Pinto.
