EP 20 - Parenting a Child who has lost a parent& Creating a Life you Love after Loss with special guest Kari Davis

Welcome Back Parents!  Have your or someone you know lost a family member to death or divorce?

Today, my special guest Kari Davis shares a little bit of her family’s story.

Kari’s husband and father of her 3 children died suddenly of a massive brain hemorrhage on March 28, 2015. He was a healthy 39-year-old man and an amazing dad.

Suddenly, all of the control and good choices Kari made as a mom didn’t matter as much.

She didn’t have the energy to cook. Family time was the most painful parts of the day.

Sports and dinners and school functions were the loneliest reminders knowing that she would always raise these kids without their dad. Kari didn’t know what long-term consequences would result from the trauma they had endured.

And then, Kari found hope and confidence in herself and she began to dream again.

Meet Kari Davis - She lives in Naples, FL with her blended family of 5 kids and husband, Bobby. After being suddenly widowed at 38 years old, Kari is passionate about self-care, natural living, and creating a life you love after loss. Kari is an essential oil educator and holistic life coach.

She loves to coach other women who have been derailed by life but still desire to chase their dreams, find love again and raise amazing kids. Her wellness collaborative online space, thewellnessteam.com is her passion project and she has just begun the "Find the Beauty Podcast". Tune in to be encouraged to dream again and create a life you love!

EP 16 - Parenting Kids with Anxiety and Big Emotions with special guest Kelly Winkler

Welcome Back Parents! Today's episode introduces us to the benefits of becoming a mindful parent and getting ourselves prepared to respond to our kid's big emotions.  My special guest Kelly Winkler shares how her inspiration to become a yoga instructor for children and parents came from watching her preteen daughter fall in love with yoga and use it as a tool to deal with anxiety.

Kelly received a B.S. in Human Development and Family Studies from Penn State University. She has an extensive background working with children. She started her career as a child life specialist in the hospital setting. She then obtained her elementary teacher certification and has taught children ranging in age preschool through fifth grade. She is also a mother of four children.

Kelly began her journey with yoga 16 years ago when she was pregnant with her first child. As a former educator and child life specialist Kelly became inspired to bring yoga to children. Over the years the environment in which she worked with children changed, however, one thing remained constant, her belief that the most important things she could bring a child were self-confidence, strength, and the power to create their own inner peace.

Kelly earned her children's yoga certification through Kidding Around Yoga and is a Kidding Around Yoga Trainer. She gives professional development for educators to incorporate mindfulness and yoga into their classroom.

Kelly believes the benefits of mindfulness are so powerful she has created a podcast for parents and teachers Mindful Moments for Families and Schools where she shares these tools. She strives to educate and engage children and their families in these practices. She is now offering a parent coaching to help families have a more calm and connected home.

EP - 15 Kids and Anxiety

Welcome Back Parents! Today's Episode 15 is a quick overview of what anxiety can look like in kids.  I crammed ALOT of information in this short episode and only touched the surface of this very common, yet individualized natural response to stress!

For more information about anxiety please go to The National Alliance on Mental Health or consult your pediatrician.

I'd love to hear from you!  What questions do you have about anxiety with your kids or as it relates to your parenting?  What have you tried that really helped?  Comment on this podcast or email admin@helloworldmn.com with your questions and/or suggestions.

Welcome back parents!! Did you know that 15-20% of children are born with a nervous system that is highly sensitive?  These kiddo’s are overwhelmed by high levels of stimulation and activity, they have a hard time transitioning and are super sensitive to the emotional distress of others. 

Highly Sensitive Children are often quick to react to everything, although, get this; these kids would prefer to reflect before acting.

So parents, if you’ve been struggling with a child who is emotionally intense and demanding or maybe you have a child who is fairly easy to raise except when they’re with a group of children or people they don’t know, I have a great resource for you!

Asia Irgangladen is the founder of Purposeful Parenting Now. She is dedicated to showing families how to cultivate healthy relationships by shifting their focus, implementing strategies and structure in the home, and developing clear communication to allow parent and child to hear each other.

Asia draws on her Special Education teaching background and a Positive Parent Educator Certification. On a personal note, growing up in a big, multigenerational family taught her firsthand about the strengths, challenges and complexities of family life, and the diverse, unique needs of each child.

Asia provides her clients with a comprehensive problem-solving tool kit with a step-by-step system, including mindfulness strategies, and clear guidance for families to transform chaos into calm.

In today’s episode Asia is going to explain the difference between a tantrum and a meltdown And how emotions are like poop! 

So listen in parents, having a highly sensitive child is not a problem when we seek first to understand why they behave the way they do!
