Teach Through Love

Reader - Every time my daughter plops down on the couch and slides up next to me to willingly share her day or seek my advice or my "listening ear," I pinch myself. This is what I dreamed of when she was born. I'm SO incredibly grateful for one important accomplishment: I have a rock-solid relationship with my young adult child (something I didn't have with my parents). I share this not to boast about my family (because - it's about being conscious, not perfect), but hopefully, it will...

Reader, Last week, after celebrating my first major parenting milestone - my daughter’s 18th birthday - I asked you this question: If you could imagine YOUR youngest child - and your relationship with them when they reach adulthood - what would that look like? So many of you shared your deepest wishes… 🏡 “My children chase their dreams without fear and find success in whatever path they choose. They know our home will forever be their safe place." - Alison 🏡 “My wish is that my kids embrace...

Reader, Are you the parent (or teacher) of a sensitive or neurodivergent child who’s tried every behavioral support available and still finds it incredibly challenging to make any real, lasting changes or improvements in their behavior? Is it possible that you’ve been misled about the root cause of their struggles? (Not sure if this is your child - this video and checklist will help you find out.) If you’re secretly thinking - This meltdown feels like manipulation. I don’t want to coddle my...

Reader, It's valid for you to want - communicating with your kids - to feel easier and more peaceful (even if those states are ever-shifting). But does it feel impossible to achieve? If you're nodding yes, don't miss my new interview with trauma therapist and author, Ingrid Clayton, Ph.D. Okay, so...

Reader, I don't know what to say. Except... sometimes, I mess up the tech so badly (hello, glitchy coupons) that it's embarrassing. With that, please accept my sincere apologies if you tried to get all the free things I promised you on Monday but instead were met with - Invalid error codes when using the SPRINGFLING coupon.

Reader! Empathy is great, but what happens when you’re acknowledging feelings and it's not getting you much more than frustrated? 😩 How do you uncover your true child’s motivations and help them shift? Do you get stuck on the words and end up saying things like…? I understand you’re frustrated, but we’ve talked about this. You can be mad, but it’s not nice to hit people. When you feel upset, what did I tell you to do? Now, let’s try again so you can do better. When you read those words, do...

Reader, I've worked hard to learn how to stop triggering my child into defensive mode with my words. As a sensitive parent with a sensitive kid, I'm all too familiar with reactionary behavior (mine and hers). And it's easy to get frustrated and lose our patience with kids who: Complain and criticize. Bother their siblings. Disrupt the daily routine. Fight over everything. It's exhausting, and we're tired of telling them repeatedly or reciting rules we KNOW they know. So what if you could stop...
