14:05

You’ve done the thought work. You’ve challenged old beliefs. You know your child isn’t trying to make your life harder, but you still lose it, shut down, and spiral into guilt.

Summer Sibling Fights and How to Handle Them – 354 17:44

8d ago17:44

Summer often means more sibling fights, which can mean more stress for you.

Shifting Gears From School to Summer – 353 7:42

15d ago7:42

7:42

There’s a pattern I see every year around this time. Kids feel stressed about the upcoming shift from school to summer, but they don’t always say they’re stressed. Instead, they act it out. The clinginess, meltdowns, and defiance are signs that their nervous systems are trying to manage a big internal shift. And moms often take that stress on as th…

The Myth of “I Turned Out Fine” – 350 17:10
