Welcome Back, Parents! Today's topic is about communicating with your teenage daughter.
Have you ever asked your daughter a simple question and something about her tone made you pause and think, “Where did that come from’? Or maybe it’s the sudden streams of tears and the uncontrollable crying that make her not even know why she’s sad? Or perhaps she’s developed an unbelievable attitude that seems to have come out of nowhere, and you’re saying to yourself, “I don’t even know who she is anymore!”
My guest today is Jeannie Baldomero and she is going to share with us Why there's a disconnect with our daughters in those pre-teen and teenage years, how to communicate and hold a conversation and 3 of her favorite tips for parents who are struggling in their relationship with their daughters.

Hello Parents! Welcome Back to The No-Problem Parenting Podcast!
Today we're going to talk about how your Mindset Matters!
Your mindset is a set of beliefs that shape how you make sense of the world and yourself. It influences how you think, feel, and behave in any given situation.
People with a fixed mindset believe your abilities are fixed traits and that they can't be changed. You may also believe that your talent and intelligence alone leads to success, and effort is not required.
On the flipside, if you have a growth mindset, you believe that your talents and abilities can be developed over time through effort and persistence. People with this mindset believe they can get smarter or more talented if they work at it.
Now of course there are things in life that are out of our control, TODAY we're talking about the things that ARE in our control and what happens when we acknowledge and take ownership of our lives and SHOW UP for ourselves FIRST so that we can be the confident parent and leader our kids crave us to be!

WELCOME BACK PARENTS! When your child misbehaves, causes a problem for or hurts someone, is your go-to response; "Tell me you're sorry!" or "You better say sorry!"?
Yep! Often times it is our go-to response! I'm excited to share another option for your kids to learn the effects of their behavior on others and how allowing them to make up for their mistakes or wrong doing, builds character and self-esteem!
Introducing the Make it Right Technique.
Wouldn't it be better to teach your kids to make right what they did wrong?
Apologizing for the misbehavior or unkind behavior is "icing on the cake" and of course we DO want our kids to apologize AND we also want them to "mean it"!
Robbing our kids of a valuable lesson by only expecting them to apologize actually sets the stage for more misbehavior!
Have you ever been hurt or wronged and then lied to? That's often exactly what happens when we make a child say they're sorry when they really aren't! Think about that for a minute.
It goes like this; your child hits another child (maybe out of frustration or because the other did something mean) and you interject with a "you better say sorry". Guess what? Likely, your child is NOT really sorry.
While there is no excuse for hitting or hurting others, instead of forcing our children to apologize, let's teach them a way to, make right what they did wrong and increase the odds they won't repeat the same behavior!
And guess what? After making it up to the person they caused a problem for, most often your child will offer an "I'm Sorry" all on their own! It comes authentically from the inside out! So Great!
Disclaimer: Use this technique only after you and your child are calm, and the problem behavior is “over”. Be sure neither of you are in fight nor flight mode when using this technique. If you or the child become upset while having the conversation, stop and try again later. The goal is for the child to make right what they did wrong and make it up to you (or whomever they harmed or caused a problem for), not to punish them.
You are teaching that when we make a mistake or cause a problem for others, we can correct the mistake and make it up to the people that were involved or affected.
This can be used with any person your child’s behavior causes a problem for including siblings, teachers, classmates, coaches, you as the parent or others. And, YOU can model this behavior with your kids! After those epic parenting fail moments when you fly off the handle or do something that causes a problem for your kid! YOU can Make It Right with them!
If you are not sure whether it’s an appropriate technique for your situation be sure to check in with me! jaci@noproblemparents.com

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.
