EP 258 Parenting Your Intense Child with Samantha Moe

Welcome Back No-Problem Parents!

Parenting an emotionally intense child can be overwhelming, leaving you feeling like you must constantly do more and be more just to get by. But what if there's a better way?

My guest today is Samantha Moe and we’re talking about the unique challenges of raising an intense child – from their heightened emotions to their strong-willed nature.

You'll learn why traditional parenting strategies often fall short and leave you feeling drained and frustrated.

Samantha Moe and Associates provides continuing education, advanced training, and parent coach certification for professionals who support intense kids and their families.

There’s nothing wrong with emotionally intense children; they just need a different approach to communication and parenting.

Samantha believes when family service professionals, parents, and educators learn what’s beneath challenging behaviors, they reduce defiance, tantrums, and anxiety… and increase peace, calm, and enjoyment for the whole household.

EP 257 Why Is My Child Lying to Me?

Welcome back to another Mindset Monday Episode!

Today's topic is one that hits close to home for many parents: lying.

Your little one looks you right in the eye and tells a big ol' fib. Whether it's their first time, it's become a habit or they are lying on the daily. Either way, it's a situation that can throw any parent for a loop.

Why do kids lie? Well, there are tons of reasons – from trying to avoid getting in trouble to impressing their buddies or even protecting someone else. Understanding where they're coming from can help us tackle the issue in the right way.

So, what's the best way to handle it when you catch your kiddo spinning a yarn for the first time? Well, first things first, don't freak out! Instead of coming down on them like a ton of bricks, take a deep breath and address the situation with curiosity and then with natural consequences.

And what if it's not just a one-time thing? What if your kiddo seems to have a knack for stretching the truth? Well, that's when things get a bit trickier. Chronic lying might be a sign of deeper issues like low self-esteem or anxiety. In those cases, it's all about approaching the situation with understanding and maybe even seeking some professional support.

Remember, as parents, we've got a big role to play in all of this and even when they slip up, the key is keeping those lines of communication wide open so that they will tell you the truth. You want your kids to trust that you can handle the truth and the goal is to guide them through the hard stuff, follow through with expectations, build them up and allow them to make right the mistakes they've made.

Parenting fatigue, that bone-deep exhaustion from juggling a million responsibilities, can leave us drained and overwhelmed. From sleepless nights to constant demands, it's easy to forget about or not prioritize our own needs as parents.

But self-care isn't just a buzzword; it's essential for our well-being. In this episode, I'll share some of the causes of parenting fatigue and discuss strategies for overcoming it, including prioritizing sleep, scheduling self-care, delegating tasks, practicing mindfulness, setting boundaries, seeking support, and embracing self-compassion.
