How to help your child overcome bad habits, specifically being jealous of others
In today's podcast I reflect on a previous session I had with a parent about their child who often becomes jealous of her brother when he gets attention. We explore the concept of generational habits and the "void" that can be created when kids don't understand the challenges they have inherited. We talk about how the parent is the best person to help their child face those habits head on. I provide 4 steps to better understand the challenge in front of you and how to create new habits that will help your child overcome life's challenge.

The In's and Out's of Forgiveness
In a follow up to last week's podcast on the In's and Out's of Saying I'm Sorry, today I explore the why behind forgiveness. It seems at time we have become a society that has lost sense of the why we do things. We do them because they are the "right thing" to do, we are told to, or we do it because we are programmed. But it is really in understanding the why that gives us a better understanding of how to do all of the steps to ensure healthy positive relationships. Today's podcast is on the why and 4 steps to giving forgiveness, so that you can build and teach your kids to build stronger and more meaningful relationships.

Learning the In's and Out's of saying I'm Sorry
Most parents make sure that their kids say sorry when something goes wrong, and we often make sure to say we are sorry ourselves, but I think there is more to saying sorry that we can overlook. In the end, sorry is about ensuring the stabilization of the relationships we have with others. We do this by trying not to make the same mistakes again and ensuring the other person actually believes that. This is the power of saying you're sorry, and if we do it well, it can have long term positive impacts on our relationships with our children and with our family. This podcast covers the 3 easy steps to follow and making sure we ask the right questions to learn the right lessons.
A podcast to help parents simplify the challenges they are facing at home and offer advice, ideas, and teach parents skills to develop healthy relationships with their children.
