# Conscious Parenting Revolution ## Posts - [Let’s talk it over...](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/lets-talk-it-over-2/): Here in the United States, we’re just days away from a presidential election. The last few weeks, months, and even years have been fraught, politicized, and polarized. With everyone yelling over each other, there’s not a lot of listening going on. As I teach in the Guidance Approach to Parenting, effective communication is crucial to maintaining healthy relationships and creating a physically and emotionally safe environment. We’re always going to come across people who we disagree with. Getting into a shouting match, battling it out over social media, or pretending people who think differently than you don’t exist aren’t productive ways […] - [This is Deeply Personal, but I’ll Say it Anyway…](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/this-is-deeply-personal-but-ill-say-it-anyway-3/): What I’m sharing today is my deeply personal journey in discovering my inner voice and learning to speak up for myself. My mother, who I deeply adored, brought me up with a traditionally southern approach: one that prioritized being socially acceptable, pleasing, polite, and obedient. None of these values are inherently wrong, but they can be dangerous. My upbringing inadvertently taught me to diminish myself. I lost sight of my feelings, stifled by my desire to please everyone else. For too long, my voice was silenced. At 13 years old, I was sexually assaulted by a stranger while I was alone in our […] - [How to Become an Awesome Parenting Partner](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/how-to-become-an-awesome-parenting-partner-2/): Whether you parent with a partner who sleeps next to you at night, co-parent with an ex, or even share the responsibility of raising your kid with Grandma or Grandpa, those relationships have their ups and downs. Parenting is fraught with daily stresses, and our conversations can very easily sound like this: Didn’t I tell you they need to start Zoom school at 9? It’s 9:30!How can you let them watch TV when I literally just said they can’t?!Why do I feel like I’m doing everything and you’re doing nothing? Sound familiar? You might find it increasingly challenging to manage working from home, […] - [7 Ways to Help Your Child Through the Pandemic](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/7-ways-to-help-your-child-through-the-pandemic-2/): We’re officially in the home stretch of 2020? How have you been coping? This year has been particularly challenging for many parents: tasked with working (increasingly long) hours from home, maintaining an (increasingly messy) house 24-7, and perhaps playing teacher to their children as well. You might have noticed your child “acting out” more often than usual. They’re likely feeling the effects of the pandemic, cooped up at home and cut off from their friends. The isolation may not cause permanent damage, but it’s certainly taking a short-term toll on kids and parents alike. As a parent, it’s your job to look out […] - [5 Principles of Conscious Parenting](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/5-principles-of-conscious-parenting-2/): At some point in our lives, we’ve all said this line when talking about our less-than-perfect childhoods: If I ever have kids, I’ll never…… ….make them feel like they’re less than enough ….yell at them in the middle of the grocery store …lash out or make unreasonable rules None of us want to repeat the mistakes our (often well-intentioned) parents made raising us. And yet, we unconsciously find ourselves repeating the cycle. Parenting is hard. But things tend to get a lot more complicated when we act without introspection, without reflection, without consciousness. Conscious parenting takes awareness, not only of your child, but […] - [Want More Parenting Support? Try These 4 Podcasts.](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/want-more-parenting-support-try-these-4-podcasts-2/): We all know the irreplaceable value of a strong, inclusive, loving support group. From childhood to parenthood, small networks of family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and classmates give us a sense of belonging, protection, and camaraderie. SUPPORT FEEDS THE SOUL. When you’re a parent, getting the right support is crucial. Whether your kid won’t stop yelling your name or isn’t interested in talking to you at all, there are times when you’re frustrated and stressed out. All you want is the sympathetic voice of a friend who knows what you’re going through (and maybe a glass of wine). You may have been […] - [The Real Reason Your Child Doesn’t Listen to You](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/the-real-reason-your-child-doesnt-listen-to-you-2/): Dear Katherine, Control. Do you feel yourself longing for it lately? When life feels uncertain, we often respond by grasping for control in any way possible. You hyperfocus on cleaning up the house. You micromanage a project at work. You criticize your spouse for the way they do…just about anything. And you try to get your kid to “behave.” The belief that we should control our children, that they need to act according to our wishes, usually comes from a deep-seated belief passed down from our own childhood. And when our kids don’t do what we think they should do, we take it […] - [Spare the Rod…](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/spare-the-rod-children/): Most of the time when we punish our children, they in fact already feel bad about how they acted or responded, by dishing out our own punishment on top of it, we make the situation worse and it can feel like shaming. When we talk about the merits or drawbacks of punishing children, we first need to stop and determine how we actually view the act that we may think needs punishing. People can see the same situation in many different ways and how we interpret a behavior will determine what we think is the appropriate response and our reasons why. […] - [What Is Permissive or Indulgent Parenting? How Does It Compare to Guidance Parenting?](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/what-is-permissive-or-indulgent-parenting-how-does-it-compare-to-guidance-parenting-2/): I recently heard a tale of a friend who had rented their home overseas to a Hollywood star, who was staying there with their children while shooting a movie nearby. When their house was returned to them, the walls were covered in scribblings by the star’s children. They were given no rules and encouraged to “nurture their creativity” (not in a coloring book intended for the purpose, however). Undoubtedly, the parent is warm and loving and responsive; it’s not an issue of neglect. They are well-loved and well-cared for children, for sure. As I listened to the story being recounted, it […] - [Mom Shaming - How To Deal With People Who Criticize Your Parenting](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/mom-shaming-how-to-deal-with-people-who-criticize-your-parenting-2/): When you’re trying to do the best job you can to parent, you’ll soon realize that everyone thinks they’re an expert on how you should look after your child. This can relate to a child of any age from a few months to a teenager or young adult. Don’t let the mom-shaming affect your confidence to know you are doing what’s best for your child. It’s not just a case of ‘mommy knows best’ everyone from the neighbor to your best friend will be there to offer advice, invited or not, which ultimately is defined at times as a form of […] - [How Do You Cope with A Hyperactive Child](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/how-do-you-cope-with-a-hyperactive/): As every parent of a hyperactive child knows, no two days are the same. While we love our lively offspring with all our hearts, some days make your heart sing, while others can have you on your knees. Knowing how to minimize meltdowns and misunderstandings comes with experience, but with the guidance parenting technique, you can incorporate tips into your family life that will not only sow the seeds for harmony but help you all flourish. Many children with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and/or a Hyperactive Personality can be impulsive, restless, and find it hard to focus. They can also have […] - [What Your Kids Are Really Saying When They Act Up](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/what-your-kids-are-really-saying-when-they-act-up-2/): Don’t you just WISH you knew what your kids were trying to tell you when they’re acting up? Instead of them screaming: “Mom/Dad, I HATE you!” wouldn’t it be great if they could explain: “I’ve got some overwhelming feelings right now. I feel scared and mad and upset. I feel safe when you are here, but it makes the way I feel even more intense. So, it must be your fault! Now I need to get you away from me!” Your kids are usually acting out because they can’t explain how they feel and what they need. It’s their way of […] - [5 Tips You Can Use To Implement Guidance Discipline](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/5-tips-you-can-use-to-implement-guidance-discipline-2/): 2020 has presented parents with previously unimagined difficulties. The effects of coronavirus and the lockdown are all presenting parenting with new challenges. Keep reading to see why I believe implementing a guidance discipline approach will help ease your stress. Normal temper tantrums at the grocery store now seem even worse than they did at the start of the year as parents try to help children through these uniquely troubling times. Disciplining is harder than ever, and as parents, we want reassurance that we are doing the right thing. There’s an essential distinction between discipline and guidance, and parents must know the […] - [How Do You Explain Death To Your Child?](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/how-do-you-explain-death-to-your-child-2/): There is no subject more difficult to discuss with children and teenagers than dying. Terribly, it is also a subject that so often has to be discussed as the adult also has to cope with their own grief. Discussing death with preschoolers, school-age children, and teenagers should, of course, be approached differently. Preschoolers Death becomes surprisingly familiar to younger children. There are so many fairy tales, nursery rhymes, and Disney movies that deal with the subject. And of course, pet animals die, there is death all over our television screens in fact and fiction. In contrast, evidence of death, animals by the […] - [Is Your Child Suffering From Anxiety? Here's How You Know](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/is-your-child-suffering-from-anxiety-heres-how-you-know-2/): These are worrying times with anxiety all around us. We’re all affected by coronavirus and the Black Lives Matter fight for justice. As parents, we need to recognize how these significant events are manifesting in our children. Anxiety in young ones was more common than most parents realized before the pandemic. Added to this was the BLM movement’s fight against racism and police brutality against the black community. These are new situations, and it is, without a doubt, a stressful time of transition, in which young people play a significant role. Every child will be dealing with these momentous changes in their […] - [The 5 Best Parenting Apps You Can Use With Newborns](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/the-5-best-parenting-apps-you-can-use-with-newborns-2/): Parenting newborns can be overwhelming at times as the first year of your child’s birth is crucial to their development. A child’s brain develops rapidly during that time, with more than 1 million neural connections forming every second. Meanwhile, your brain is foggy from lack of sleep. And the quantity of information coming in from all sides about how you should care for your precious newborn is overwhelming. How can you clear out the noise and find practical and useful parenting tips, without getting swamped in family politics and judgment? Your trusty phone, of course. There’s an abundance of apps out […] - [How Attachment Parenting Works With Teens](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/how-attachment-parenting-works-with-teens-2/): Moms and dads usually experience Attachment Parenting when their kids are babies. Then, the principles of Attachment Parenting seem easier. You were confident that you weren’t going to get pushed away if you held your child. And there was no such thing as too much love. Natural birth, breastfeeding, and co-sleeping are ways to nurture your baby. At the root of attachment parenting lies attachment theory. It stems from psychologist John Bowlby’s studies of maternal deprivation and animal behavior research in the early 1950s. Attachment parenting focuses on developing that nurturing connection between you and your children. Bowlby viewed this as the best […] - [How To Deal With Rebellion and Resistance In Your Teen](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/how-to-deal-with-rebellion-and-resistance-in-your-teen-2/): If you look up resistance and rebellion in the dictionary, you might find a picture of a teenager. Teenage years are very challenging. Our children transition from childhood to young adulthood and seek their independence. As Mark Twain advised: “When a boy turns 13, put him in a barrel and feed him through a knothole. When he turns 16, plug up the hole.” That is not the approach I’d recommend, no matter how much you may feel like it sometimes. The Conscious Parenting Revolution seeks to guide your teen parenting without any barrels! Your relationship with your teen is no doubt struggling right now due […] - [5 Ways You Can Ease Working Mom Guilt](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/5-ways-you-can-ease-working-mom-guilt-2/): A mom friend of mine sent me a picture this week. It showed her perched on the (closed!) pedestal on the toilet, resting her laptop on the toilet paper holder, while her daughter peeked over the side of the bath-tub doing her evening bathing routine. This is a working mom living in the age of Covid-19. Juggling two jobs at once, but feeling like you’re doing neither one to the best of your ability. But even when the pandemic has passed, the mom guilt stays. What can you do to help alleviate the guilt of having to balance your working responsibilities […] - [Why What Happened in Your Past Affects Your Ability to Parent Now](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/why-what-happened-in-your-past-affects-your-ability-to-parent-now-2/): We’ve all seen the meme, ‘I opened my mouth …and my mother came out.’ But how many times does your child open their mouth, and YOU come out? As a parent, when these meme’s become our reality, we want it to be for the right reasons. I’m sure you recognize those little phrases and expressions that your child does, which imitate yours. You are your child’s first teacher – just as your parents were yours. Your past and your childhood affect the choices and decisions you make now as a parent. You decide what practices to repeat and what not to […] - [7 Ways you can help stop boredom for your kids at home](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/7-ways-you-can-help-stop-boredom-for-your-kids-at-home-2/): “Mom, I’m bored.” The words that every parent will recognize. And likely dread. At this current time, with so many of our usual activities unavailable due to the coronavirus restrictions, you probably hear it more often than ever as boredom at home is at an all-time high. Your children are used to being with 20 or more of their peer group and continuously stimulated with activities, and suddenly they are stuck home and looking to you to keep them entertained. Typically, parents would be charging around, taking our kids to their various scheduled activities. Soccer, karate, music lessons. Our children are […] - [5 Mindfulness techniques you can use with your kids](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/5-mindfulness-techniques-you-can-use-with-your-kids-2/): What is mindfulness? If it’s something you have never tried before, it’s a way of focusing your awareness on the present moment. And at the same time, you calmly acknowledge and accept your feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations. It’s used as a therapeutic technique. So right now, it’s something that can really help you stay calm as we deal with all the uncertainty around us. Mindfulness has lots of amazing benefits. From decreasing your stress to improving your mood. It can also help with emotional regulation. And that’s not just for adults. Your child can experience these benefits, as well. However, you […] - [Working from Home - Keeping the Peace with Your Children Without the "3R's"](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/keeping-the-peace-with-your-children-without-the-3rs/): Working from home during this time has placed an added level of pressure on all families. Wouldn’t life be so much easier if we could all follow a failsafe guide when it comes to disciplining children? Parents all wish there were a set of ‘one size fits all’ instructions that didn’t result in the 3R’s. But the reality is there are 100’s of decisions you have to make as a mom or dad. And there is a different answer for every child. This leads many parents to fall into a cycle. Your child does something you think is wrong.

And if you have had a difficult childhood, then you will strive twice as hard to make sure that has no impact on your child. But attachment research states the one predictor of your ability to perform as parents is how you have interpreted what you went through yourself. But even if you went through a difficult time growing up, this doesn’t mean you are doomed to repeat the same mistakes all over again. But how do you do that? What is most important is no matter […] - [The 5 Best Parenting Apps You Can Use With Newborns](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/the-5-best-parenting-apps-you-can-use-with-newborns/): Parenting newborns can be overwhelming at times as the first year of your child’s birth is crucial to their development - [How Attachment Parenting Works With Teens](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/how-attachment-parenting-works-with-teens/): Moms and dads usually experience Attachment Parenting when their kids are babies. - [How To Deal With Rebellion and Resistance In Your Teen](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/how-to-deal-with-rebellion-and-resistance-in-your-teen/): Our children transition from childhood to young adulthood and seek their independence. - [5 Ways You Can Ease Working Mom Guilt](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/5-ways-you-can-ease-working-mom-guilt/): Working mom guilt can paralyze us with stress and trigger our instincts of fight or flight - [Why What Happened in Your Past Affects Your Ability to Parent Now](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/why-what-happened-in-your-past-affects-your-ability-to-parent-now/): You are your child’s first teacher – just as your parents were yours - [Help Your Child Cope with Back-to-School Anxiety](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/help-your-child-copewith-back-to-school-anxiety/): Anxiety is normal during big transitions, but we can’t let our fears keep us from moving forward.

Unsure what to expect when it […] - [5 Tips You Can Use To Implement Guidance Discipline](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/5-tips-you-can-use-to-implement-guidance-discipline-2-2/): There’s an essential distinction between discipline and guidance – parents must know the difference. For starters, when people use the word “discipline,” everyone understands that to mean authoritarian discipline. It doesn’t occur to anyone that there is another way. Discipline is ultimately giving in to authority and guidance is helping the child to find their own controls and means of behavior as they slowly enter the adult world. A holistic, guiding approach provides a growing child with a sense of self-control and a skill set to apply to different scenarios. Guidance is discipline too! Children are also – generally – co-operative. They […] - [How Attachment Parenting Works With Teens](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/how-attachment-parenting-works-with-teens-2-2/): Moms and dads usually experience Attachment Parenting when their kids are babies.

Our children are continually learning, socialising, and most have a busier calendar of birthday parties and playdates than we do. But, during the summer or less busy times, children often quickly find themselves looking for things to do. From teens to tweens to little ones boredom is no stranger! We even get bored! Children aged between five and six years old are used to a structured routine. However, occasionally your routine may change or be less busy on some days or during holidays.This leaves your kids not knowing what to do with […] - [7 Ways you can help stop boredom for your kids at home](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/7-ways-you-can-help-stop-boredom-for-your-kids-at-home/): Feeling irritated, unsatisfied, or uninterested by any activity can lead to boredom - [5 Mindfulness techniques you can use with your kids](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/5-mindfulness-techniques-you-can-use-with-your-kids/): While your kids don’t have the same stresses as adults, they often don’t connect with their feelings. - [Working from Home – Keeping the Peace with Your Children Without the ¨3R‘s¨](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/working-from-home-2/): Working from home during this time has placed an added level of pressure on all families - [How to Avoid Letting Your Own Childhood Impact Your Parenting Skills](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/avoid-letting-your-own-childhood-impact-your-parenting-skills/): When you become a parent, you want more than anything to do the best job possible. - [Are You Listening to Your Child’s Side of the Story?](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/are-you-listening-to-your-childs-side-of-the-story-2/): Stop me if this scenario sounds familiar:  You’re minding your own business when suddenly the phone rings.  The person on the other end of the line—perhaps a teacher or a camp counselor—has called to inform you that your child is acting out.  Your face flushes with shame and humiliation and embarrassment. You assume their account must be accurate.  When our children display inappropriate behavior in public (getting into a fight at soccer practice or throwing a toy at a daycare teacher), our first impulse is often to apologize on their behalf, then shamefully slink away to reprimand or punish them at […] - [How can I encourage reading in my home?](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/how-can-i-encourage-reading-in-my-home/): Hello, Conscious Parent!

As an avid reader myself, I want to instill a love […] - [Is Your Teen Rebelling, Resisting, and Retaliating?](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/is-your-teen-rebelling-resisting-and-retaliating-2/): Is your teenager’s defiant behavior ruling your family life? The teenage years are challenging, leaving many parents and caregivers at a loss. But in fact, there’s a perfectly legitimate explanation for their behavior. During adolescence, humans begin developing their prefrontal cortex—the part of the brain responsible for making judgments, weighing pros and cons, and managing emotional responses. This critical part of the brain continues developing until the mid-20s, making it difficult for teenagers to think critically and manage their moods. Research even shows that teens often misread cues and facial expressions…and are more likely to interpret them as being shocked or angry. Yikes! […] - [Practical Advice for Any Parenting Challenge](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/practical-advice-for-any-parenting-challenge-2/): Parenting is a constant learning curve.

Do you feel trapped in an exhausting juggling act with no end in sight? It’s time to take a step back and practice some self-care.  Parents, we live in extremely stressful times.

When we fall into this trap, our own health and wellness suffers, preventing us from becoming the parents we want to be.  I know you’re committed to being 100% present for your children—and that means first allowing yourself the bandwidth to fulfill your own needs.

But when you’re dealing with kids of different ages, interests, and personalities; it can be difficult to make decisions without having one (or all) of them storm off yelling, “But it’s not fair!” Let’s take the example of “The Chocolate Bar.”  Suppose two kids are given a chocolate bar. As a parent/caregiver wanting to teach fairness, the smart thing is to split the chocolate in half. Right? But wait—what if only one child likes chocolate? Is it still fair? Or would it be better to give the whole bar to the child who enjoys […] - [Dear Katherine: My son and his stepfather are no longer speaking](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/dear-katherine-my-son-and-his-stepfather-are-no-longer-speaking-2/): Hello, Conscious Parent!

May is Mental Health Awareness Month.  This month, psychologists, wellness teachers, and other mental health experts come together to remind people that they are not alone.  Despite physical isolation, global unrest, unimaginable loss—we are not alone. I myself lost my own brother to suicide many years ago.

Even in our small family units, change is constant: we get new jobs, move to different houses, shift from face-to-face learning to school-from-home, switch babysitters, have another child. Although change is a necessary part of life, it can be a stressful experience for children (and adults too!).  A daily routine helps create a safe and secure environment for your kids. Children thrive on structure, because it helps them anticipate and prepare for what’s going to happen next. A routine can give your kids something to count on in an increasingly unpredictable world—even if it’s just […] - [Busting the “bad kid” myth once and for all](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/busting-the-bad-kid-myth-once-and-for-all-2/): What’s wrong with these statements? Spare the rod and spoil the elderly. Millenials should be seen and not heard. New Zealanders have got to learn. If you’re cringing right now, it’s because you know that these statements are unfairly biased and even prejudiced. So why are we okay with using these same phrases to describe our children? In my TEDx talk, “The Rebellion is Here—We Created it, We Can Solve It,” I deconstruct the generational misconception that children, because of their youth and impressionability, should not be trusted. Subscribing to the belief that kids’ opinions should not be taken seriously leads […] - [5 Ways You Can Ease Working Mom Guilt](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/5-ways-you-can-ease-working-mom-guilt-2-2/): A mom friend of mine sent me a picture this week.

But even as the pandemic has passes, the mom’s guilt stays.  What can you do to help alleviate the guilt of having to balance your working responsibilities with those of being a […] - [3 steps to defuse any fight with your kid](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/3-steps-to-defuse-any-fight-with-your-kid-2/): Has your home turned into a warzone? For many parents, after a long year of being stuck indoors—sharing the same space for work, school, home, and recreation—the pressure may have built to a boiling point. Add in the normal worry and stress many families feel on a day-to-day basis, and you’ve got a recipe for disaster. When a disagreement hits the boiling point, things get ugly. There’s screaming, crying, swearing . . . and that’s just the parents. And after it’s all over, we often feel ashamed and regretful. It’s only then that we remember we’re supposed to be the adults […] - [10 Home Playground Ideas Your Kids Will Love](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/10-home-playground-ideas-your-kids-will-love/): We reached out to experts from Los Angeles, CA, to Mount Pleasant, SC,  for their best home playground ideas to get your kids to swap the screens for some fresh air. - [Are you raising a spoiled child?](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/are-you-raising-a-spoiled-child-2/): When your child is giving you a particularly rough time, you might be tempted to compare them to the infamous Veruca Salt.  In the beloved children’s book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Veruca Salt embodies the cautionary tale of a spoiled child. One pony is not enough—she wants another one. As the Oompa Loompas sing: Who do you blame when your kid is a brat? Pampered and spoiled like a Siamese cat? Blaming the kids is a lion of shame You know exactly who’s to blame: The mother and the father Yikes!  Many parents I work with are very concerned about […] - [How to keep your kid’s screen time (and your sanity!) from spiraling out of control](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/how-to-keep-your-kids-screen-time-and-your-sanity-from-spiraling-out-of-control/): The scenario is all-too familiar.  You’re in an important Zoom meeting and need one gloriously uninterrupted hour to focus on work. Despite the fact that it’s 8 in the morning, you hand over the iPad to keep your kid entertained. Or how about this one: Your tween has stopped complaining that they’re bored and started spending all their free time scrolling on social media. It’s a struggle to get them to put down their phone at mealtimes. Or even this: You’re concerned about your child’s gaming habits. A hobby has become an obsession, and your kid seems to be gaming when […] - [Should parents always present a united front?](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/should-parents-always-present-a-united-front-2/): Did you ever catch that children’s program, Bananas in Pajamas? The main characters are two bananas, B1 and B2, who are identical in every way. They walk the same, talk the same, and very often think the same! B1 and B2 are always aligned, and they live in the kind of harmonious home that could ONLY exist on a kid’s TV show.  The Banana family is unknowingly helping to perpetuate the myth of the united front. I’ve worked with thousands of parents in the last 20 years, and most of them believe that parents should be in total agreement when it […] - [How to Become an Awesome Parenting Partner](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/how-to-become-an-awesome-parenting-partner-2-2/): Whether you parent with a partner who sleeps next to you at night, co-parent with an ex, or even share the responsibility of raising your kid with Grandma or Grandpa, those relationships have their ups and downs. Parenting is fraught with daily stresses, and our conversations can very easily sound like this: Didn’t I tell you they need to start Zoom school at 9? It’s 9:30!How can you let them watch TV when I literally just said they can’t?!Why do I feel like I’m doing everything and you’re doing nothing? Sound familiar? You might find it increasingly challenging to manage working […] - [If I Ever Have Kids, I’ll Never…](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/if-i-ever-have-kids-ill-never/): At some point in our lives, we’ve all said this line when talking about our less-than-perfect childhoods: If I ever have kids, I’ll never…… ….make them feel like they’re less than enough….yell at them in the middle of the grocery store…lash out or make unreasonable rules None of us want to repeat the mistakes our (often well-intentioned) parents made raising us. And yet, we unconsciously find ourselves repeating the cycle. Lost on how to start? Here’s 5 principles of conscious parenting that you can start working on now: See your kids for who they are: human beings. Parents often forget that their kids have […] - [The real reason your child doesn’t listen to you.](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/the-real-reason-your-child-doesnt-listen-to-you-2-2/): Dear Katherine, Control. Do you feel yourself longing for it lately? When life feels uncertain, we often respond by grasping for control in any way possible. You hyperfocus on cleaning up the house. You micromanage a project at work. You criticize your spouse for the way they do…just about anything. And you try to get your kid to “behave.” The belief that we should control our children, that they need to act according to our wishes, usually comes from a deep-seated belief passed down from our own childhood. And when our kids don’t do what we think they should do, we […] - [Ask Katherine: My kids won’t stand up for themselves ](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/ask-katherine-my-kids-wont-stand-up-for-themselves/): Dear Katherine, My children are the targets of bullying on social media. These bullies make up rumors and spread lies about my kids, and I can see the effects of this cruelty weighing on them. I have ideas for confronting the bullies, but my kids don’t want to talk about the situation at all. I want to get through to them and offer guidance, but I’ve hit a real roadblock. What can I do?  Sincerely,On Their Side Hey there, On Their Side. My heart goes out to you–dealing with bullying is hard for kids and parents alike. I’m reading two primary concerns in your message: […] - [Ask Katherine: What If I’m Not Perfect?](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/ask-katherine-what-if-im-not-perfect/): Dear Katherine, My husband and I are working on our parenting and have realized that many of the changes that need to occur in our family start with us.  We have much to learn about our own needs and behaviors, but as we put in the work, how realistic is it for us to expect our children to manage their own emotions and needs? Is it possible to raise children to stop the behaviors we don’t like, even if we sometimes exhibit them ourselves?  Sincerely, Do As I Say, Not As I Do Hi there, Do As I Say, Not As […] - [Ask Katherine: Are the 3 Rs Inevitable?](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/ask-katherine-are-the-3-rs-inevitable/): Dear Katherine, You talk about eliminating the 3 Rs (resistance, rebellion, retaliation) through conscious parenting. But don’t you think the 3 Rs are inevitable?  Why is overcoming them so crucial, and is it even possible to put an end to them completely?  Sincerely, It Feels Impossible Hey there, It Feels Impossible! I love this question. I believe that when we deem kids’ behavior inevitable, we’re not giving them enough credit. The reality is, we’re all in control of—and responsible for—our emotions, reactions, and behaviors. It’s a concept known as the internal locus of control.  When children exhibit the 3 Rs, they […] - [Ask Katherine: My Daughter Is Spoiled](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/ask-katherine-my-daughter-is-spoiled/): How Not To Raise A Spoiled Brat?

I ask him about his day, and he gives me one-word answers or responds, “I don’t know,” to my questions.  He’s definitely prone to anxiety, but I’m worried about how down he seems when he gets home.  How can I get him to open up?  Sincerely, Feeling Bummed Feeling Bummed, I’m sorry to hear that your son seems so down when he gets home from school. I think I can help.  Generally speaking, there are three options for confronting undesirable behavior in children: Option #1: […] - [Dear Katherine: My Kids Love Video Games—Should I Be Concerned?](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/my-kids-love-video-game/): Dear Katherine, My kids love playing video games. They seem to take genuine pleasure in this activity, and while they’re occupied, I have a chance to do household chores and enjoy a little time to myself. I know there are better hobbies out there—but if they like gaming and it gives me a bit of space, is that so wrong? Am I making a parenting mistake by letting them play?s Sincerely, Guilty As Charged Hey there, Guilty As Charged, First of all, you have nothing to feel guilty about here! Check your shame at the door. We’re all human. Kid’s Gaming Addiction and how […] - [Dear Katherine: Did I Go Too Far Trying to Meet My Son’s Needs?](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/dear-katherine-did-i-go-too-far-trying-to-meet-my-sons-needs/): Dear Katherine, My 5-year-old LOVES sleeping with Mom and Dad at night. When we aren’t together, he says things like, “I’m so alone in this house,” which breaks my heart. When he began coming into our room at night, we tried to send him back to bed. But eventually, I recognized that he has an unmet need for affection at nighttime, so I decided to go back to his room with him and sleep in his bed.  This decision has unleashed bedtime chaos. My son isn’t sleeping better, my husband and I are barely sleeping at all, and now our daughter […] - [Dear Katherine: I’m Nervous About the Teen Years!](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/dear-katherine-im-nervous-about-the-teen-years/): Dear Katherine, I’ve often heard you talk about why controlling forms of discipline and punishments are ineffective. But what about when kids are in danger? Thankfully, I have yet to be in this specific position. Still, my kids are getting older. I’m worried about protecting them throughout their teen years without resorting to authoritarian discipline or punishment. As you know, teenagers can be notoriously difficult to communicate with! How can I keep them safe in this phase of life while staying true to the ideals of conscious parenting? Sincerely, Concerned Hi Concerned, You bring up some great points that I’m happy […] - [Dear Katherine: Should I Let My Daughter Stay Out as Late as Her Brother?](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/dear-katherine-should-i-let-my-daughter-stay-out-as-late-as-her-brother/): Dear Katherine, My three children are 16, 13, and 9. They are all very social, but each child has a different curfew and different rules for social time.  The 13-year-old is very upset that we won’t let her go to a party that ends at 11 p.m. She says that we would let our 16-year-old go to a party like that, which might be true depending on several factors, but our 16-year-old is old enough to have a later curfew.   How can we help our 13-year-old see that she and her older brother are different people and that these are different […] - [Dear Katherine: We Give Her an Inch, She Takes a Mile](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/dear-katherine-we-give-her-an-inch-she-takes-a-mile/): Dear Katherine, My 5-year-old daughter has always disliked being told what to do. Now that we’re changing our approach to the parent-child relationship, she’s convinced that she was right all along about being able to do whatever she wants.  When we give her even a little bit of freedom, she tries to take as much power as she can get. It isn’t sustainable!  How can we achieve a healthy balance?  Sincerely, Not So Sure About This Hey there, Not So Sure About This! I love this question.  First of all, congratulations on having a confident and strong-willed child. Behaviors like what […] - [Dear Katherine: My Kids Complain About Being Bored!](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/dear-katherine-my-kids-complain-about-being-bored/): Dear Katherine, When my two children are home from school, they don’t want to do anything. I try to get them involved in activities or camps (or at the very least encourage them to leave the house with me!) but they outright refuse. Then they complain that they’re bored! My older daughter, who is 13, calls me a bad mom when I tell her that there’s nothing more I can do.   What CAN I do? Sincerely, Out of Ideas Out of Ideas, the problem you’re facing is far more common than people care to admit! The pressure to keep children occupied […] - ['Twas the Night Before...](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/twas-the-night-before/): ‘Twas the night before Christmas, And all through your home, Your little ones are stirring, They won’t leave each other alone!  You went the extra mile  To bring holiday joy But it’s not what you pictured …it’s all about toys!  If that isn’t how the poem goes…it really should be!  A quiet, peaceful Christmas Eve isn’t the reality for many families. Your children have probably consumed copious amounts of sugar and are low on sleep. It’s not a recipe for success!  Whether you have little ones who are on a sleep strike or refusing to eat anything that isn’t covered in […] - [Dear Katherine: My Son Gets Anxious When We’re Apart](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/dear-katherine-my-son-gets-anxious-when-were-apart/): Dear Katherine, My son is very nervous whenever we’re apart. When he’s at school, he wants me to be working from home so he knows that I’m there. Even if I’m just around the block, he stresses out about it.  He’s afraid that I won’t come back or that I won’t come to pick him up.  He’s 10 years old, and I want him to enjoy school and other activities that I’m not present for.  What can I do?  Sincerely,  Trying My Best Trying My Best, My heart goes out to your son. He’s dealing with some big feelings! Your situation […] - [Dear Katherine: My Son Is Having Trouble Adjusting to Big Life Changes](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/dear-katherine-my-son-is-having-trouble-adjusting-to-big-life-changes/): Dear Katherine,  Our second baby was born only a few weeks before the pandemic began.  I know my older son loves his baby brother, but I’m fearful that in addition to dealing with the huge adjustment of having a baby in the house, he associates his brother’s arrival with the negativity of the pandemic.  My son is a strong-willed, opinionated child, and these events have understandably been stressful for him. How can I be there for him and help him separate these two big life changes? Sincerely, Bad Timing Bad Timing, My heart goes out to you. It sounds like your […] - [Dear Katherine: I’m Nervous About Being Judged This Holiday Season](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/dear-katherine-im-nervous-about-being-judged-this-holiday-season/): Dear Katherine, It’s our first holiday season since joining the Conscious Parenting Revolution, and I’m nervous about how my extended family will react to our new parenting style.  We’ll be spending Christmas with a large group, and I’m concerned that other family members’ tendency toward authoritarian discipline will confuse my children or undo some of the work we’ve done with them.  The holidays are already stressful enough, and I’m just not sure how to navigate this additional challenge. Sincerely, Feeling Shy  Feeling Shy, You certainly aren’t the first parent to express these concerns to me.  It’s easy to feel self-conscious around […] - [A Thanksgiving Message About Community](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/a-thanksgiving-message-about-community/): Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate!  Parenthood gives us so much to be grateful for every day—even in its most challenging moments. Feeling gratitude is important, especially at this time of year. But at Thanksgiving, I find myself thinking about another core value that ties into this holiday…  Community.  Thanksgiving is a celebration of our communities, familial or otherwise. We gather to share food and enjoy each other’s company. It’s one of the few holidays that isn’t centered around gifts or greeting cards. Instead, it’s all about togetherness—and, yes, eating yourself into a post-dinner food coma. 😉 As a parent, the […] - [Parenting Rage is Real — Here’s How to Manage It](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/parenting-rage-is-real-heres-how-to-manage-it/): Can you relate to this scenario?   You wake up and spend 30 minutes coaxing your kid to get dressed for school while you rush to get ready for work.  They fight with you over what they want to wear, insisting on the same blue shirt they’ve worn every day this week.  You finally make it to the kitchen table for breakfast, only to have them refuse to take a single bite of food.  You try hard to keep your voice from rising, asking them nicely over and over again to please eat their breakfast. “Eww, Mom, the yolk’s too runny.” Snap.  […] - [How Do You Parent a Strong-Willed Child?](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/how-do-you-parent-a-strong-willed-child/): Some kids are just easier than others.  They appear to come out of the womb knowing how to say “please” and “thank you.” They rarely cause any trouble. They never make a scene in public. They do whatever their parents ask of them.  As much as you may dream of having a child who fits this description, the truth is that these people-pleasing behaviors are often predictors of long-term behavioral struggles like codependency. In fact, strong-willed children who are the opposite of “easy” can grow up to be extremely well-adjusted adults—provided they have the right support from their parents along the way. […] - [Thank You for the Parenting Work You Do](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/thank-you-for-the-parenting-work-you-do/): Happy Labor Day! We commemorate the American labor movement every year on the first Monday of September. On this day, we acknowledge and celebrate workers across all industries.  Whether you work outside the house or you stay at home to care for your children, you deserve recognition for doing the hardest job in the world: parenting!  Raising confident, happy, healthy children isn’t easy. You, dear parent, put in the work for this unpaid labor of love every single day of the week, with no breaks and no time off. I, along with my team at Conscious Parenting Revolution, would like to […] - [Dear Katherine: Why is My Granddaughter So Moody?](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/dear-katherine-why-is-my-granddaughter-so-moody/): Hello, Conscious Parent! Welcome to “Dear Katherine,” a monthly Q&A with real-life parents/caregivers. If you’d like to submit a question of your own, email me at katherine@consciousparentingrevolution.com. Dear Katherine, I have an 11-year-old granddaughter whose emotions are all over the place. Recently, she came home from school in an especially angry mood. I could tell something had happened, but when I asked her about it, she yelled that it was none of my business and slammed the door in my face. What should I do? Should I give her space? I never know how to respond to her in situations like […] - [Eradicating the Stigma of “Shy”: Why “Introverted” Doesn’t Necessarily Mean “Insecure”](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/eradicating-the-stigma-of-shy-why-introverted-doesnt-necessarily-mean-insecure/): Are you concerned that your child is too shy?  Maybe they’re the kind of kid who hangs back in class. Maybe it takes a while for them to warm up to new places or people.  Maybe they prefer to read or draw by themselves instead of playing with a group of peers.  As parents and caregivers, it’s natural to worry about our kids’ self-confidence. After all, self-confidence is an integral part of growing into a well-adjusted and independent adult.  But just because your kid exhibits shyness doesn’t mean they’re insecure or that they lack confidence. They may just be more introverted […] - [Help Your Child Cope with Back-to-School Anxiety](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/help-your-child-cope-with-back-to-school-anxiety/): Following a year of remote learning, many schools across the world are preparing to return to in-person instruction for the upcoming semester.  But uncertainty around rising COVID-19 cases and mask regulations is lingering. There are some families who don’t believe in vaccinations and some who are against wearing masks. The personal preferences and the public health issues are stressful. It’s no wonder that your child may be feeling anxious about going back to school in person. While anxiety is normal during big transitions, we can’t let our fears keep us from moving forward. As the world continues to reopen, here are […] - [Compassionate Communication: A Primer on Conscious Parenting Language](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/compassionate-communication-a-primer-on-conscious-parenting-language/): With President’s Weekend in my home country, the United States, upon us, I wanted to touch on communication. Whether you’re leading a household or a country, great leadership stems from great communication. There’s a verse in the Bible that states, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” This proverb encapsulates what we already know to be true: words hold a lot of weight. What we say—and how we say it—can have an enormous effect on those around us. At the Conscious Parenting Revolution, one of our core teachings is effective and compassionate communication. We repair family relationships by teaching parents and […] - [Why It’s Okay to Raise Kids Who Are Self-Centered](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/why-its-okay-to-raise-kids-who-are-self-centered/): A client once approached me with a rather funny conundrum: her toddler could not get enough of looking at himself in the mirror! Every time they walked by a polished surface, the child would ask her to stop so he could observe his reflection. My client tried to laugh this behavior off as one of the silly quirks of toddlerhood. But deep inside she felt uneasy. She started wondering if her child’s behavior was normal. Was her kid perhaps overly self-centered? If you’re a parent or caregiver, you might relate to this mother’s unease. After all, how many times do our […] - [The Story of Where My Conscious Parenting Journey Began](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/the-story-of-where-my-conscious-parenting-journey-began/): Many people ask me how and why the Conscious Parenting Revolution started. I guess it would be apt to say that my parenting journey began when my first child, Sam, was born.  One day, when Sam was about 2 years old, my husband and I looked at each other from across the room in bewilderment—and realized that we didn’t know what to do next. We knew we wanted to raise an autonomous, confident, loving child—but we didn’t know how. That was when the real work began.  Both my husband and I were raised in deeply traditional families that prioritized obedience and […] - [Are You A Bad Parent For Treating Your Kids Differently?](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/are-you-a-bad-parent-for-treating-your-kids-differently/): Are You A Bad Parent For Treating Your Kids Differently?

Welcome to “Dear Katherine,” a monthly Q&A with real-life parents/caregivers. If you’d like to submit a question of your own, email me at katherine@consciousparentingrevolution.com. Dear Katherine, My 10-year-old daughter and I had a bit of an altercation. She and her sister were having an argument over a dress the younger one wanted to borrow. They took the fight into my work-from-home space. To be honest, I was buried with deadlines and was about to hop on a call, so I immediately told my older daughter to let the younger one borrow the dress. She burst into tears and […] - [Independence Is for Everyone—Including Kids!](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/independence-is-for-everyone-including-kids/): Here in the United States, we celebrate our national Independence Day on the 4th of July.  This festive holiday is associated with summer, family and friends coming together, barbecues, and fireworks—all to commemorate the day our country was born.  As we celebrate our country’s freedom, let’s not forget that as individuals, we have the same right to our autonomy. And as parents, it’s our duty to encourage and develop that autonomy in our children as well. In the spirit of independence. . .  . . . hug your kid a little tighter today and tell them you’re thankful for exactly who […] - [Good Parenting Means Resisting the Urge to “Take Over” for Your Kids](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/good-parenting-means-resisting-the-urge-to-take-over-for-your-kids/): One of the hardest things about parenthood is letting kids learn on their own without stepping in to “rescue” them. If you’ve. . . peeled yourself away from your child’s clinging embrace on the first day of school  let them cut their own bangs when you knew it would be disastrous helped your doctor hold your baby firmly during vaccination . . . then you know exactly what I’m talking about. There’s nothing worse than seeing our children struggle. There’s even a scientific reason as to why adults find it next to impossible to ignore a child’s cry.  A study from […] - [3 Parenting Shifts to Support Your Teen’s Individuation](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/3-parenting-shifts-to-support-your-teens-individuation/): Does your teen suddenly want nothing to do with you?  Are you wondering why your sweet child who once made you rub their back every night until they fell asleep now barely even wants to be seen with you? There’s a scientific reason behind this sudden shift: a complex process known as individuation. It’s Not You, It’s Individuation According to physician and psychiatrist Margaret Mahler, a child’s life begins in a symbiotic relationship with their primary caregiver before they eventually realize their separateness and form an autonomous identity. This process is called “individuation,” and the sudden transition that occurs can result […] - [Why Kids Say “No”—and How to (Occasionally) Get a “Yes”](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/why-kids-say-no-and-how-to-occasionally-get-a-yes/): Are you tired of hearing the word “no” from your kid? You know how it goes: suddenly your sweet toddler discovers this dreaded two-letter word and begins using it as much as possible—and then keeps using it for the next 16 years! NO, she refuses to eat broccoli for dinner. NO, he won’t put pants on. NO, he doesn’t want to eat, sleep, or take a bath. NO, she won’t say “I love you” to Grandma.   It’s perfectly natural for kids of all ages to not just do as they are told or follow orders—but that doesn’t mean it’s easy for […] - [Dear Katherine: My toddler won’t stop bugging his older brother!](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/dear-katherine-my-toddler-wont-stop-bugging-his-older-brother/): How to Create Boundaries Between Siblings Hello, Conscious Parent!

Dear Katherine, I’m a mother of two sweet boys, a 6-year-old and a 3-year-old.  Recently, my husband and I have noticed more fighting in our household. We were quick to attribute it to our older son, but after talking to him, we discovered it was actually the other way around. My toddler keeps pressing his older brother’s buttons and won’t leave him alone! What should I do? How […] - [5 Ways to Overcome the Fear of Your Kids Growing Up](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/5-ways-to-overcome-the-fear-of-your-kids-growing-up/): Is this the little girl I carried? Is this the little boy at play? I don’t remember growing older, When did they? Have you ever seen Fiddler on the Roof?  It’s the tale of a Jewish milkman named Tevye who has five daughters. Those lyrics are from the lullaby he and his wife sing just before their eldest daughter gets married.  When did she grow to be a beauty? When did he grow to be so tall? Wasn’t it yesterday when they were small? When you think about your children growing up, what emotions do you experience?  Do you feel hope […] - [Is Rewarding Your Child Actually Bad for Them?](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/is-rewarding-your-child-actually-bad-for-them/): Imagine having a remote control to manage and direct your kid’s behavior. Clean your room. Done. Do your homework. Done. Go to bed. Done. Wouldn’t life be a breeze? No more nagging. No more heated arguments. No more talking back. It’s a joke of course—or is it?  Life would certainly be easier if our kids always did what we asked.  But then they’d be more like robots and less like the complex, wonderful humans we know and love. In my TEDxChandlersCreek presentation, “The Power of You: Surviving & Transcending Unconscious Parenting,” I talk about how the reward and punishment method can […] - [You are not alone - Celebrating mental health awareness month](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/you-are-not-alone-celebrating-mental-health-awareness-month/): Each year, an average of 150,000 American lives are lost to drug, alcohol, and suicide-related causes.  At the height of the pandemic last year, substance-abuse deaths increased a devastating 18%, christening 2020 the “deadliest year in drug history.” If there’s one thing these numbers tell us, it’s that many of us feel alone. May is Mental Health Awareness Month.  This month, psychologists, wellness teachers, and other mental health experts come together to remind people that they are not alone.  Despite physical isolation, global unrest, unimaginable loss—we are not alone. I myself lost my own brother to suicide many years ago.

You assume their account must be accurate.  When our children display inappropriate behavior in public (getting into a fight at soccer practice or throwing a toy at a daycare teacher), our first impulse is often to apologize on their behalf, then shamefully slink away to reprimand or punish them at home. How […] - [Show your children that reading books can be fun!](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/show-your-children-that-reading-books-can-be-fun/): Show your children that reading books can be fun Hello, Conscious Parent!

Dear Katherine, I have two rambunctious boys, aged 7 and 9, who love the outdoors and staying active. They spend hours each day biking or playing basketball. The pandemic hasn’t been easy on them, so I’ve been giving them plenty of time to roam outdoors. Lately, though, it’s been harder and harder to get them to do their schoolwork. They’re way behind on their reading. As […] - [Is Your Teen Rebelling, Resisting, and Retaliating?](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/is-your-teen-rebelling-resisting-and-retaliating/): Is your teenager’s defiant behavior ruling your family life?  The teenage years are challenging, leaving many parents and caregivers at a loss. But in fact, there’s a perfectly legitimate explanation for their behavior. During adolescence, humans begin developing their prefrontal cortex—the part of the brain responsible for making judgments, weighing pros and cons, and managing emotional responses.  This critical part of the brain continues developing until the mid-20s, making it difficult for teenagers to think critically and manage their moods. Research even shows that teens often misread cues and facial expressions…and are more likely to interpret them as being shocked or […] - [Practical Advice for Any Parenting Challenge](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/practical-advice-for-any-parenting-challenge/): Parenting is a constant learning curve.

I value her firm sense of self and the vitality of her character, but I […] - [It Takes a Village...](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/it-takes-a-village/): As Mahatma Gandhi once said, “You must be the change you want to see in the world.” He also encouraged his followers to come together and create that change.

Are you overextending yourself to meet your family’s needs? Do you feel trapped in an exhausting juggling act with no end in sight? It’s time to take a step back and practice some self-care. Parents, we live in extremely stressful times. But prioritizing everyone else’s needs at the expense of our own isn’t the answer. When we fall into this trap, our own health and wellness suffers, preventing us from becoming the parents we want to be. I know you’re committed to being 100% present for your children—and that means first allowing […] - [Are You Stressed? Your Kids are Probably Feeling It, Too](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/are-you-stressed-your-kids-are-probably-feeling-it-too/): Lauren Fulkerson is a US-trained pediatrician and mother of four. As an expat living in Hong Kong, Lauren met Katherine at a school event and immediately knew that the Guidance Approach to Parenting was how she wanted to parent her children.

I know sibling rivalry is normal, but I just want them to stop squabbling. Can you help me? — Looking for Peace of Mind Dear Looking for Peace of Mind, You’re definitely not alone. Siblings […] - [What’s Your Parenting Story?](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/whats-your-parenting-story/): Eliminating childhood baggage to create a clean slate for your kids. What’s Your Story?  “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” We tend to use this phrase when we talk about how similar a child is to their parents, when we notice repeated behaviors, patterns, and choices that pass across generations. The logic is simple: children mirror their parents’ actions and are wired to follow the examples they set. Think about it. Our kids learn everything about life from us: how to crawl, walk, eat, sleep, talk—and eventually how to interact with other human beings and make their way through […] - [Love and the Lunar New Year](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/love-and-the-lunar-new-year/): February marks two of my favorite celebrations: Valentine’s Day and the Lunar New Year. These two holidays hold such significance in my heart, each for different reasons. Having spent 30 years as an expat living in Hong Kong, I always get a bit wistful when Chinese New Year rolls around. I miss the festive lights, colorful decorations, delicious food (did someone say moon cake?!), and the warmth and community that I associate with the annual celebration: Most of my clients from the US or Europe might not know this, but the final day of Lunar New Year (which falls on the […] - [What’s fair about a chocolate bar?](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/whats-fair-about-a-chocolate-bar/): All people must be treated equally—including children. But when you’re dealing with kids of different ages, interests, and personalities; it can be difficult to make decisions without having one (or all) of them storm off yelling, “But it’s not fair!” Let’s take the example of “The Chocolate Bar.”  Suppose two kids are given a chocolate bar. As a parent/caregiver wanting to teach fairness, the smart thing is to split the chocolate in half. Right? But wait—what if only one child likes chocolate? Is it still fair? Or would it be better to give the whole bar to the child who enjoys it? Fairness […] - [Dear Katherine: My son and his stepfather are no longer speaking](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/dear-katherine-my-son-and-his-stepfather-are-no-longer-speaking/): Hello, Conscious Parent!

How can I help repair the damage and find a way to move forward?

Even in our small family units, change is constant: we get new jobs, move to different houses, shift from face-to-face learning to school-from-home, switch babysitters, have another child. Although change is a necessary part of life, it can be a stressful experience for children (and adults too!). A daily routine helps create a safe and secure environment for your kids. Children thrive on structure, because it helps them anticipate and prepare for what’s going to happen next. A routine can give your kids something to count on in an increasingly unpredictable world—even if it’s just knowing […] - [Busting the “Bad Kid” Myth Once and For All](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/busting-the-bad-kid-myth-once-and-for-all/): What’s wrong with these statements? Spare the rod and spoil the elderly. Millenials should be seen and not heard. New Zealanders have got to learn. If you’re cringing right now, it’s because you know that these statements are unfairly biased and even prejudiced. So why are we okay with using these same phrases to describe our children? In my TEDx talk, “The Rebellion is Here—We Created it, We Can Solve It,” I deconstruct the generational misconception that children, because of their youth and impressionability, should not be trusted. Subscribing to the belief that kids’ opinions should not be taken seriously leads to […] - [5 Tips to Handle School-From-Home this Spring](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/5-tips-to-handle-school-from-home-this-spring/): If you’re a parent or caregiver to a school-aged kid, chances are you’ve found yourself learning grammar or long division again—only this time, the teacher is on Zoom. And you’re fighting with the technology of uploading your child’s digital work. And trying to run a household. And maybe attempting to work yourself. For many families around the world, school from home will be around for at least a few more months. While it’s not easy to juggle all those priorities (and all that tech!), it’s possible to make the experience a little better for both you and your kids. The expectations […] - [Heartfelt Gratitude for You - My Wish for Parents Everywhere in 2021](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/heartfelt-gratitude-for-you-my-wish-for-parents-everywhere-in-2021/): I’m writing today to say how deeply grateful I am for you.

For many parents, after a long year of being stuck indoors—sharing the same space for work, school, home, and recreation—the pressure may have built to a boiling point. Add in the normal worry and stress many families feel on a day-to-day basis, and you’ve got a recipe for disaster. When a disagreement hits the boiling point, things get ugly. There’s screaming, crying, swearing . . . and that’s just the parents. And after it’s all over, we often feel ashamed and regretful. It’s only then that we remember we’re supposed to be the adults […] - [How to Help Your Child Navigate a Not-So-Normal Holiday Season](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/how-to-help-your-child-navigate-a-not-so-normal-holiday-season/): This year’s holiday season reminds me of the opening line in Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women: “‘Christmas doesn’t feel like Christmas without any presents,’ grumbled Jo, lying on the rug.” The story is set in the middle of the American civil war, and the four March sisters are grieving over not being able to spend Christmas with their army chaplain father—as well as not having enough money for gifts. Our current situation has been described countless times in the last 9 months as a “war on the coronavirus.” Many families are feeling the economic impact of the pandemic—and that strain can be […] - [Feeling anxious? This Can Help.](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/feeling-anxious-this-can-help/): Remember your child as a baby? When they accidentally hit their head on the side of the crib or get startled awake by a loud noise? Seconds tick by slowly as you wait for the sound of that gulp for air—usually followed by a piercing cry. Breathing: it’s probably the most hard-wired, involuntary function we do as human beings. Every creature, great or small, breathes. Breathing gives us life, and we don’t even have to think about doing it—you inhale and exhale as reflexively as your heart beats in your chest. But despite the fact that breath keeps us alive, we […] - [Are You Raising a Spoiled Child?](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/are-you-raising-a-spoiled-child/): When your child is giving you a particularly rough time, you might be tempted to compare them to the infamous Veruca Salt.  In the beloved children’s book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Veruca Salt embodies the cautionary tale of a spoiled child. One pony is not enough—she wants another one. As the Oompa Loompas sing: Who do you blame when your kid is a brat? Pampered and spoiled like a Siamese cat? Blaming the kids is a lion of shame You know exactly who’s to blame: The mother and the father Yikes!  Many parents I work with are very concerned about somehow turning […] - [Be Thankful for Who Your Kids Are—Not Who You Want Them to Be](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/be-thankful-for-who-your-kids-are-not-who-you-want-them-to-be/): Here in the United States, we’re a week away from one of our oldest holiday traditions: Thanksgiving. Whether or not you celebrate Thanksgiving where you’re located, it’s a good opportunity to show some gratitude for all that we have: our homes, our families, our health. As a parent, I know you’re incredibly thankful for the gift that is your child. But sometimes we can be grateful for our kids and yet, in the same breath, wish they were different. If only my kid were as well-behaved as my neighbor’s. I wish my son got into an Ivy League school. Why can’t […] - [How to Keep Your Kid’s Screen Time (and your sanity!) from Spiralling Out of Control](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/how-to-keep-your-kids-screen-time/): The scenario is all-too familiar.  You’re in an important Zoom meeting and need one gloriously uninterrupted hour to focus on work. Despite the fact that it’s 8 in the morning, you hand over the iPad to keep your kid entertained. Or how about this one: Your tween has stopped complaining that they’re bored and started spending all their free time scrolling on social media. It’s a struggle to get them to put down their phone at mealtimes. Or even this: You’re concerned about your child’s gaming habits. A hobby has become an obsession, and your kid seems to be gaming when […] - [Should Parents Always Present a United Front?](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/should-parents-always-present-a-united-front/): Did you ever catch that children’s program, Bananas in Pajamas? The main characters are two bananas, B1 and B2, who are identical in every way. They walk the same, talk the same, and very often think the same! B1 and B2 are always aligned, and they live in the kind of harmonious home that could ONLY exist on a kid’s TV show.  The Banana family is unknowingly helping to perpetuate the myth of the united front. I’ve worked with thousands of parents in the last 20 years, and most of them believe that parents should be in total agreement when it comes […] - [Worried About Your Child’s Video Game Habits?](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/worried-about-your-childs-video-game-habits/): Is your child spending too much time playing video games? In the past few years, I’ve heard from many parents who are concerned about their kids’ video game hobby, obsession, or addiction. In a world where we are bombarded with screens–smartphones, iPads, laptops–not to mention Xbox, Game Cube, PS5, Nintendo Switch: How much is too much? I know that sometimes it’s easier to let your kid play Plants vs. Zombies or Minecraft for another hour, especially if it buys you time to focus on work or avoids a blowout fight. But too much screen time can stifle creativity, promote a sedentary lifestyle, and […] - [What Every Expectant and New Mom Needs.](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/what-every-expectant-and-new-mom-needs/): Why is it that women hardly talk about their birth experience? Giving birth is the single most miraculous and most common event that happens in nature. Over 300,000 new babies are born every single day, and yet a lot of mamas go into the process wide-eyed and not knowing what to expect. Lack of knowledge and support during pregnancy and birth perpetuates the cycle of birthing insecurity in women. We’re hesitant to share our experiences, only to repeat the cycle of fear, ignorance, and maybe even trauma in the next generation of mothers. I’m excited to introduce Stephanie Radler, who passionately […] - [“Boo!” said a ghost from 6 feet away...](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/boo-said-a-ghost-from-6-feet-away-2/): Who doesn’t love trick-or-treating? I have fond memories of Halloween: costumes, face paint, going door-to-door around the neighborhood, and candy—so much candy! Image: Sam, Pia This year will be different. Some of you won’t feel comfortable with your kids gathering together to trick-or treat. Costume parties will be postponed until next year. Maybe you won’t even be opening doors to hand out candy. But that doesn’t mean all the fun has to be canceled.

Not only will […] - [Compassionate Conversations: Explaining Death to Children of All Ages](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/compassionate-conversations-explaining-death-to-children-of-all-ages/): There is no subject more difficult to discuss with children and teenagers than dying. Tragically, it is also a subject that often must be discussed while adults cope with their own grief. How do you explain death to your child? Discussing death with preschoolers, school-age children, and teenagers should, of course, be approached differently. Preschoolers Death becomes surprisingly familiar to younger children. Many fairy tales, nursery rhymes, and Disney movies deal with the subject. Additionally, pet animals die, and there is death depicted all over television screens in both fact and fiction. Evidence of death, such as animals by the side […] - [Memorial Day 2024: Remembering Sacrifice and Service](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/memorial-day-2024-remembering-sacrifice-and-service/): It is Memorial Day in the USA.  Happy Memorial Day!

In the journey of parenthood, the desire to exert control over our children can be overpowering at times. But amidst this quest for obedience lies a crucial question: Does compliance mean obedience?

Ivan is a Spanish cross-country runner renowned for his sportsmanship and integrity on the global stage. While his athletic prowess is impressive, it’s his display of empathy and integrity that truly sets him apart. In 2013, during an international race, Ivan found himself in a remarkable situation. He was trailing behind Kenyan runner Abel Mutai when Abel, nearing the finish line, became confused by the signage and halted, thinking he had won.

When Abel didn’t understand, Ivan didn’t hesitate; […] - [The Art of Positive Discipline: Practical Tips for Parents](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/the-art-of-positive-discipline/): There exists an essential distinction between discipline and guidance, a distinction that parents must grasp. Why is discipline and guidance important? Typically, when individuals mention “discipline,” they refer to authoritarian discipline. The concept of another approach seldom crosses their minds. Discipline entails yielding to authority, while guidance involves assisting the child in discovering their own controls and behavioral means as they gradually integrate into the adult world. A comprehensive guiding approach equips a growing child with self-control and a versatile skill set for various scenarios. It’s crucial to understand that guidance is discipline too!

While my older son seems to care for his baby brother, I worry that alongside the major adjustment of having a new baby, he might link his brother’s arrival with the negative aspects of the pandemic.

Those seconds felt like an eternity as you anxiously awaited that unmistakable gulp for air, typically followed by a piercing cry.

Navigating the challenging teenage years often leaves parents and caregivers at a loss. However, there’s a perfectly legitimate explanation for their behavior. Adolescence marks the development of the prefrontal cortex—the brain region responsible for judgment, weighing pros and cons, and managing emotional responses. This crucial brain development continues until the mid-20s, making it challenging for teenagers to think critically and regulate their moods. Research even indicates that teens often misinterpret cues and facial expressions, frequently perceiving them as shock or anger. Combined with the surge of new hormones, it’s […] - [Set Up 2024 to be the Best Parenting Year Ever](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/set-up-2024-to-be-the-best-parenting-year-ever/): I have a question for you… If you were standing in a room full of your favorite things, knowing that the most exciting thing to happen to you all year is imminent, would you find it hard to focus?  I’m going to go ahead and assume you answered yes, because that’s how your children feel during the holiday season!

You know how it goes: suddenly your sweet toddler discovers this dreaded two-letter word and begins using it as much as possible—and then keeps using it for the next 16 years!

As parents and caregivers, it’s natural to wonder about our children’s self-confidence.  Developing self-assuredness is a crucial aspect of their journey to becoming well-adjusted and self-reliant adults.

The concept is simple: children observe and replicate their parents’ actions, influenced by the examples set before them.  Contemplate this for a moment. Our children absorb essential life skills from us: how to crawl, walk, eat, sleep, communicate—and ultimately, how to engage with others and navigate life’s challenges.  The weight of setting a positive example or being a role model is substantial for any parent.

Whether it was buying something we wanted at the store, or going to a friend’s house for a sleepover, the routine was almost always the same. If one parent said no, we could always try to ask the other, and hope their answer was different!  It is in situations like these that I often get asked, “can parents disagree?”.

Terribly, it is also a subject that so often has to be discussed as the adult also has to cope with their own grief.

Both?](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/what-are-your-children-actually-listening-to/): Control.

You hyperfocus on cleaning up the house.You micromanage a project at work.You criticize your spouse for the way they do…just about anything.

But in fact, there’s a perfectly legitimate explanation for their behavior. During adolescence, humans begin developing their prefrontal cortex—the part of the brain responsible for making judgments, weighing pros and cons, and managing emotional responses.  This critical part of the brain continues developing until the mid-20s, making it difficult for teenagers to think critically and manage their moods. Research even shows that teens often misread cues and facial expressions…and are more likely to interpret them as being shocked or […] - [Joining the board of directors at the International Association for Human Values](https://consciousparentingrevolution.com/joining-the-board-of-directors-at-the-international-association-for-human-values/): First and foremost, thank you for continuously being an amazing support of the Conscious Parenting Revolution and our journey.

When they accidentally hit their head on the side of the crib or get startled awake by a loud noise? Seconds tick by slowly as you wait for the sound of that gulp for air—usually followed by a piercing cry. Breathing: it’s probably the most hard-wired, involuntary function we do as human beings. Every creature, great or small, breathes. Breathing gives us life, and we don’t even have to think about doing it—you inhale and exhale as reflexively as your heart beats in your chest.
