EP 302 Why Is My Child Good for Everyone Else But Me

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 12:03:00 -0600

Jaci Finneman explains why many children behave better outside the home and gives practical, compassionate strategies for parents. Learn to identify behavior patterns, prepare for predictable struggles, and respond with calm, matter-of-fact leadership instead of emotional reaction.

She outlines three steps—seek to understand, prepare for the worst, and change the conversation—and offers quick tools like using fewer words, clear follow-through, and knowing when to seek support.

EP 301 When Kids Aren't Being Defiant: Understanding Low Capacity Home

Sun, 05 Apr 2026 06:24:34 -0600

Jaci Finneman explains how not all resistance is defiance—sometimes kids simply don’t have the capacity to follow directions in the moment. Learn how to recognize patterns that signal low capacity and when behavior is truly intentional.

You’ll hear practical ways to lead through these moments without getting pulled into power struggles:

• Pause before reacting
• Use fewer words and a matter-of-fact tone
• Offer help, a hug, or a chance to be heard—without removing responsibility
• Hold expectations while adjusting your approach

Key takeaway:
Before reacting, ask: Is this defiance or low capacity?
Then steady your leadership, lower your words, and support your child through the task. That’s how you avoid unnecessary battles and build trust over time.

EP 296 Pass the Test: Stay Steady When Kids Push Back

Thu, 15 Jan 2026 14:44:17 -0600

Your child may not respond the way you want right away. And that does not mean you failed. It also does not automatically mean that your child is being defiant or manipulative or trying to push your buttons. It means your child is responding the best way they know how in that moment.

They might be testing. They might be stuck. They might not have the words for what they need. And they might be digging in their heels because they don't see another option. As the parent, that's not something to take personally. That's information. And leadership starts with how you respond to that information.

Welcome to the No Problem Parenting podcast, where we help parents lead with confidence, clarity, and steadiness—especially when kids push back. This podcast is for parents doing real life with real kids: no perfection, no pretending, just practical leadership that works in real homes.

Instead of chasing immediate compliance, aim for steady leadership: clear tone, clear words, and consistent follow-through. Keep the status quo—life keeps moving—set predictable expectations, and resist rescuing responsibility. Over time, consistent leadership helps kids manage discomfort, trust reliability, and change behavior.

No fixing, no fluff—just steady leadership for real kids and real homes.

EP 4 What is Reactive Attachment Disorder - Part 1

Thu, 15 Jan 2026 13:29:01 -0600

Hello Parents! In today's episode, Part 1 - What is Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD), I share how learning about the diagnosis in 1993 shifted my career path from serving children with special abilities to supporting kids with mental health diagnosis and their parents.

This episode just barely touches on the diagnosis and is definitely a brief introduction of what can happen when infants and toddlers experience early life trauma or separation from their primary caregivers.

And, there are many children that have a rough start in life that do not develop these symptoms so this episode does not intend to diagnosis your child's behavior.

I'm sharing my experiences with the diagnosis in hopes that any parent (or child) that feels misunderstood, has tried everything, has been pushed to an emotional limit or has been blamed (or is shaming themselves) due to their child's behavior and/or how they are responding to their child's behavior; that they will find hope and support.

In Part 2 I'll share more symptoms that children with Reactive Attachment Disorder or trauma disorders can display and I'll share a few tips and resources on how to respond to and help children who are truly afraid to trust their caregivers.

When we seek first to understand why our children are behaving the way they are and when we prepare ourselves for "the worst", we can respond as the confident leaders our kids crave us to be.

To learn more about Reactive Attachment Disorder and to find clinical support for your child go to https://attach.org/

To learn more about how to become a No-Problem Parent™ go to No Problem Parents

And please share this episode with the people in your community. Too often children with this diagnosis appear to be just fine to their extended family and community while their parents are judged and looked down upon for how they discipline their kids. Don't assume it is the parents fault, especially if you knew the parents to be kind and loving people before they had children. Children with Reactive Attachment Disorder often reserve their toughest behaviors for their parents and can "hold it together" in front of others. Parents raising these children need our support and understanding so please learn more about why the parent is frustrated or hurting and then support the child - by supporting the parent.

Hugs and High Fives,

Jaci

Today, my guest shares the importance of self-care and how prioritizing your well-being can enhance your quality of life at home and why it begins with time management.

Self-care essentials encompass a range of practices that nurture your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. From carving out time for relaxation to engaging in activities that bring you joy, self-care is about intentionally investing in yourself to replenish your energy and resilience.

When you're rested, rejuvenated, and emotionally balanced, you can approach parenting with patience, presence, and compassion.

EP 257 Why Is My Child Lying to Me?

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 19:18:26 -0600

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.

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. Remember, taking care of yourself isn't selfish—it's necessary for being the best parent you can be.

EP 242 The Healing Power of Hugs: whether you like them or not with Jaci Finneman

Mon, 29 Jan 2024 11:56:15 -0600

Welcome Back No-Problem Parents!

Welcome to another Self-Care Sunday on the No Problem Parenting podcast. Today, we’re talking all things hugs – done right they do wonders for our well-being and our connection with our kids. How many hugs to you get and give on a daily basis?

Three benefits of a hug:

Immune Booster

Hugs boost our immune system. The pressure of a hug stimulates the thymus gland, regulating white blood cell production and keeping you healthy. Hugs also balance your nervous system, increasing circulation and promoting a sense of balance between the fight/flight/freeze and rest and digest responses. Hugs help increase circulation and help balance our sympathetic (fight/flight/freeze) and parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous systems.

Emotional Nourishment

Hugs go beyond the physical – they provide emotional nourishment too. Boosting oxytocin levels, hugs alleviate feelings of loneliness and anger. Sharing a hug is a shared experience, creating a sense of belonging. Hugs increase your feelings of safety. Hugs emotionally “feed” us, help us remember that we’re not alone, and help us feel more trust with others. Have you noticed how relaxed and calm you feel after a hug? It's a reminder that we're not alone, and together, we can face any challenge. Hugs increase your feelings of belonging. They boost oxytocin levels, which heal feelings of loneliness, isolation, and anger. Hugging is a shared experience: you’re both giving and receiving affection.

Self-Esteem Hug

Extended hugs, those lasting 20 seconds or more, are like a serotonin boost for your mood. They increase feelings of self-esteem, importance, and self-love. Remember the warmth you felt as a child when your parents looked at you with affection? Hugs recreate that sense of being seen and loved.

Remember the goal is oxytocin and serotonin release, hugs are not just physical gestures; they're powerful tools for our overall health and connection.

So, if you haven’t already, intentionally create times in your day to your kids, partner and yourself, and let the healing power of hugs bring joy and calm into your day.

Notice the change in your mood and well-being and the changes in your kids and teens.

EP 239 Thoughts vs Feelings: Getting Real with Dr. JJ Kelly of Unorthodocs, Inc [EXPLICIT] Part 1/3

Thu, 25 Jan 2024 12:11:21 -0600

Welcome Back No-Problem Parents!

***NOTE: This episode contains explicit language allowing my guest to present her approach authentically.

Dr. JJ Kelly shares the mission of UnorthoDocs, Inc., and the revolutionary approach of the Get Real Program based on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

We discuss the power of emotional intelligence and Dr. JJ shares the inspiration behind UnorthoDocs, Inc., the frustrations within the mental health system, and the global impact of emotional intelligence.

Do you have a tween or teen that is struggling with;

• Ongoing conflicts in relationships

• Intense and rapid mood changes

• Inability to relax

• Trouble recognizing choice

• Holding in anger, then “blowing up” at others

• Impulsive or reactive decisions they often regret

• Self-medicating with substances, e.g., food, sugar, alcohol,

"busy-ness", spending, etc.

• Feeling overwhelmed

• Avoiding responsibilities, people, or events

• “Numbing out” in response to fear, anger, etc?

Are you worried, nervous around them, unsure what to do or how to talk to your teen?

Dr. J.J. Kelly is a licensed clinical psychologist, emotional intelligence skills training expert, and

bestselling author of The Holy Shit! Series. J.J. is also the CEO and founder of UnorthoDocs, Inc.,

a punk alternative to traditional psychotherapy that centers around group process, peer-coaching, mentorship, and community outreach. Dr. Kelly and the Unortho "Docs" (former "patients") live their lives with the belief that global healing is achieved by teaching people the skills to like themselves.

EP 222 Mindset & Motivation Monday: Shifting from ’I Can’t’ to ’I Can’ Conversations with Jaci Finneman

Mon, 08 Jan 2024 10:28:53 -0600

Welcome to another episode of No Problem Parenting's Mindset & Motivation Mondays!

Today, we're acknowledging the influence of our self-talk, specifically those disempowering 'I can't' statements that often show up in our parenting responses and conversations, especially when our energy is drained. I will share the profound change that occurs when we intentionally shift our language including my own “I can’t story”.

In our daily conversations, especially in parenting, 'I can't' tends to be a default response. But what if it's not about our capabilities? What if it's more about our fears, worries, or preferences.

Consider the last time you said 'I can't' in response to a parenting situation or anytime really. Was it genuinely about capability, or was it really covering up a different emotion or preference? Recognizing this distinction is the first step. It's about understanding that 'I can't' might actually mean 'I'm scared,' 'I prefer not to,' ‘I don’t know how’ or 'I need support.

EP 220 Social Saturdays: The Benefits of Parent/Child Play & Tips for All Ages

Sat, 06 Jan 2024 11:57:15 -0600

"What are the benefits of parent/child play, and how can you make it awesome for kids of all ages and for you the parent?"

A study in the Journal of Marriage and Family revealed that shared leisure activities, including play, are linked to greater satisfaction in family relationships. So, there's more to play than just about keeping kids busy or entertained.

Play Builds curiosity, Trust, and Connection – If you are finding yourself yelling all the time, play is a great way to stop feeding the problems in your home with anger and frustration and setting the tone in your home to be more fun and joyful. Kids don’t want you to yell, but if seeing you yell is the only excitement or animation they get from you, you might notice they are pushing your buttons to gain your attention even if it is negative attention.

You are the leader of your home and can shift the tone in your home and today I’m going to give you some ideas for how to do that with infants to teens.

When you actively engage in play with your children, whether it's peek-a-boo, building LEGO towers, constructing forts, or even pretending to be superheroes, you create a foundation of curiosity, trust, and connection that lasts a lifetime.

EP 216 Tech & Teaching Tuesdays Digital Safety for all ages: Tips, and Tools for Confident Parenting

Tue, 02 Jan 2024 12:50:06 -0600

Welcome to Tech and Teaching Tuesdays!

In this episode, we tackle the crucial question: How can you ensure your child’s online safety? Join me as I share technology tips tailored for toddlers to teens.

We kick things off by acknowledging the expansive digital landscape our kids are growing up in, moving beyond mere screen time management to establish early childhood boundaries. In middle childhood, the focus shifts to fostering critical thinking and online etiquette, utilizing the "Three W's" - Who, What, and Why - as a powerful tool for guiding your child's online behavior. Consider taping these questions as a friendly reminder inside the cover of their tablet or in their playroom.

Venturing into adolescence, a time of heightened emotions and rapid changes, we emphasize the significance of open communication and privacy awareness. Creating a digital contract with your teen, as discussed in Episode 12 and reiterated today, becomes a valuable tool outlining expectations, consequences, and fostering collaboration.

EP 213 Part 3/3 Holiday Harmony Series: Sweets, Treats, and Taming Sugar Overload with Jaci Finneman

Thu, 21 Dec 2023 13:11:17 -0600

Welcome Back No-Problem Parents!

Parents, if you've ever wondered how to strike a balance between embracing the joy of holiday sweets and maintaining a healthy approach to treats in your family, this episode is tailored just for you! In the grand finale of our Holiday Harmony Series, Jaci shares 8 Tips to help our kids learn about what's good for their bodies from the inside out and how to stay out of food battles.

1. **Create a Snack Station:** Keep a bowl of fresh fruit, like bananas or apples, on the kitchen table. Let your kids know they can help themselves to these healthy snacks without needing to ask.

2. **Allow Self-Serving at Meals:** During dinner, let your kids dish up their own meals, starting with one spoonful of each serving (main course, veggies, fruit). Emphasize that they can have more if they finish and are still hungry. This approach prevents food waste and allows children to regulate their own portions.

3. **Avoid Food Confrontations:** Instead of trying to convince or demand that your kids try a particular food, encourage them in a positive way. Model your enjoyment of the food without making it a battle. Remind them that taste preferences can change over time as they grow.

4. **Explain Taste Changes:** Communicate with your children in a matter-of-fact manner about how taste buds develop and change as they grow. Let them know that it's normal to like different foods at different stages of life. Avoid placing emotions into the conversation to keep it neutral.

5. **Foster Independence:** Encourage your children to explore and make decisions about their food preferences. Give them the autonomy to choose what they enjoy while guiding them toward a balanced and nutritious diet. This approach promotes a positive relationship with food.

6. **Avoid Tricking Tactics:** Steer clear of using tricks or deception to get your kids to eat certain foods. Children can quickly catch on to these tactics, leading to a breakdown of trust. Be honest about what they are eating and focus on creating a positive mealtime environment.

7. **Understand Individual Preferences:** Recognize that each child has unique taste preferences, and not all foods will be equally accepted. Be patient and understanding, allowing your children to develop their own palate over time.

8. **Seek Professional Guidance:** If you find yourself frequently in food battles or facing challenges with your child's eating habits, consider seeking advice from a professional. Listen to EP 45 and Episode 131 for more helpful tips and insights into food-related challenges with your kiddos.

EP 211 Honoring Legacies, Navigating Loss, and Finding Strength in ’My Teacher, My Son’” with Author Nick Shaw

Tue, 19 Dec 2023 16:13:01 -0600

Welcome Back No-Problem Parents!

Today my guest Author Nick Shaw and I discuss:

- The importance of being intentional about how we show up in front of our kids and being a positive role model for them.

- The importance of role modeling authenticity and vulnerability for our kids.

- Acknowledging the profound emotional challenges that parents face after losing a child, can you share some insights into the coping mechanisms or daily rituals that helped you navigate the difficult journey of getting up each morning and finding the strength to move forward?

Nick Shaw is an accomplished executive coach, author, and speaker known for his profound insights into personal transformation, self-discovery, and authentic leadership. Through much reflection and soul-searching, Nick has realized a need to help others find ways of living more intentional and meaningful lives.

With the 2023 release of his debut book, My Teacher, My Son: Lessons on Life, Loss, and Love, Nick invites readers to embark on an introspective journey of their own. Through a compelling narrative about his experience of losing his son, William, at just nine years old, Nick’s book stretches the boundaries of the memoir form to teach and inspire its readers and to help them through their own complex emotions and experiences. In the pages of My Teacher, My Son, Nick offers a thought-provoking and supportive guide that urges individuals to examine their lives with honesty and self-compassion. Through poignant anecdotes, Nick encourages readers to reevaluate their choices and embrace a more fulfilling and purposeful existence.

EP 209 Part 2/3: No Problem Parenting Holiday Harmony Series - Family Gatherings and your Introverted Child

Thu, 14 Dec 2023 15:34:15 -0600

Hey there No-Problem Parents!

Welcome back to the Holiday Harmony Series Part 2/3.

In this episode, we addressed the challenge of resistance to holiday gatherings, focusing on introverted children.

Do you have a kiddo that is super shy or overwhelmed in large crowds?

We've got tips and tools to help you navigate the holiday season, even when your kiddo isn’t fully on board.

Today we're using the 3 step No Problem Parenting Approach:

1. Seek First to Understand at Family Gatherings:

Reflect on previous events and understand the child's perspective. What triggers discomfort or resistance? How can parents better comprehend their introverted child's experience? A quiet, matter-of-fact conversation with the child helps to gain insights.

2. Prepare for the Worst at Family Events:

Preparing introverted children for family gatherings. This includes setting clear expectations, creating safe spaces, and having a plan for potential meltdowns. It's crucial to be prepared, boosting parent confidence and making the experience smoother.

3. Changing the Conversation at Family Functions:

Lead with empathy, not sympathetic, towards introverted children. Avoid feeling sorry for your kids and instead be understanding, confident, and encouraging.

Remember, every child is unique, and finding the right balance that respects their introverted nature while allowing yourself to enjoy holiday gatherings is key.

Next week we’ll wrap up our 3 part Holiday series with some tips about how to respond to kiddos who overindulge in holiday treats.

Be sure to tune in tomorrow for part 3 of our Mission Control Series. It’s the last episode in that series and we’re talking about prosocial behaviors for ages 3 – 13 and you’ll find more suggestions that will come in handy for the holiday season.

EP 205 Part 1/3: ”No Problem Parenting Holiday Harmony Series” - Taming Tantrums in Stores and at Events with Jaci Finneman

Thu, 07 Dec 2023 13:45:07 -0600

Welcome to the first part of our special Holiday Harmony Series on No Problem Parenting! In this episode, we're tackling the challenges of temper tantrums during holiday shopping and events with a 'No Problem' approach. Let's dive into the key tips:

1. Seek First to Understand:

- Take a moment before heading out to understand your child's perspective. Are they tired, hungry, or overstimulated? Recognize potential triggers for tantrums, considering their history with events, shopping, or late nights followed by early mornings.

2. Prepare for the Worst:

- Before entering the store or event, prep your child for what to expect. Communicate that if they struggle, they can let you know, and you'll do your best to help. Set expectations about not buying treats until after the outing and establish a plan for handling meltdowns. Pack a bag with snacks, a favorite toy, and a comfort item. Consider calling in reinforcements or having a friend on standby in the parking lot for support.

3. Change the Conversation:

- Instead of reacting negatively to tantrums, redirect their attention positively. Use distraction, the 'Columbo' technique, or give permission for the child to express frustration. Engage in a game or discuss something positive about the holiday experience. Offer conditional praise for handling frustration well during the shopping trip.

Remember, it's okay to handle tantrums in a way that works for both you and your child, maintaining the holiday spirit without unnecessary stress. Stay tuned for the next part of our Holiday Harmony Series on No Problem Parenting!

EP 204 Mastering Your Emotional House: Understanding the ’House of WOE’ with the Parent Doctor, Dr. Marissa Caudill

Wed, 06 Dec 2023 13:30:03 -0600

Welcome Back No-Problem Parents!

Gain insights into emotional resilience and discover practical tips for parents and children alike.

Dr. Marissa Caudill introduces the concept of the "House of WOE," a metaphorical space representing our internal expectations and the source of negative emotions. She likens life's challenges to earthquakes in this mental house and emphasizes the importance of understanding and remodeling it for emotional well-being.

The House of WOE evolves with age, and parents can use this idea to navigate their children's emotional responses. Dr. Caudill introduces the "Circle of Concern" and the "Circle of Influence," highlighting the power of focusing on controllable elements like actions and thoughts.

The key to emotional mastery, she explains, is practice—being aware of "earthquakes," letting go, and learning from experiences. The episode addresses questions about Dr. Caudill's unique model, the baffling nature of children's reactivity, and the practicality of remodeling the House of WOE on the fly.

So how can we use this idea of the House of WOE to our advantage?

Well, picture a big circle - this is our circle of concern - these are all the things that potentially can cause earthquakes within our house of WOE. Now, within this, picture a smaller circle, our circle of influence - this consists of just what we can control. And what can we control in our life, really? The only things we can really control are actions and thoughts/attitudes. Everything that we worry about in our circle of concern can cause an earthquake in our house of WOE, which leads to pain. But we only continue to suffer if we continue to focus on our circle of concern. If instead, we notice the earthquake, know where it's coming from, and decide to remodel our house of WOE by focusing on our circle of influence and changing our actions and thoughts - by "letting go" of the perceived conflict and accepting what is - at that point, the suffering stops and we are empowered to move on and learn from the experience, and take steps towards a better future.

EP 200 Am I a Good Enough Parent? with special guest Bill Senyard

Tue, 28 Nov 2023 09:22:19 -0600

Welcome Back No-Problem Parents!

Topic:

Attachment theory suggests that our children have two subconscious questions that drive their behaviors. Q1: Is there someone out there who really has my back, who I can count on no matter what? Q2: Is there someone out there who actually loves me as I am? Ideally, parents are the answers to both of those questions.

One way or another parents can lean into becoming that person. There are baby-steps to get there.

By the time your child is 2 years old, they have already formed deeply rooted inner-working models that cause them to see relationships and the world in a certain way. These inner working models can be modified by an intentional effort by parents and caregivers--particularly during adolescence.

Questions:

What is the attachment theory? What difference does it make to parenting?

What is the importance of attunement?

I have tweens or teens now. Is there something that I can do that would change how they respond to me?

How is all of this related to the gospel?

What does the name Good Enough Parent mean?

What is the Good Enough Parent program all about? Who benefits?

Bio:

Dr. Bill Senyard is an author, speaker, and pastor of 30 years. He is a husband, parent of three, and grandparent of two—so far.

EP 197 Part 5/6: 60 Ways to Respond to Your Kids without Losing Your Cool

Thu, 16 Nov 2023 15:45:59 -0600

Welcome Back No-Problem Parents!

To access the full list of 60 responses, visit noproblemparents.com, enter your name and email, and we'll send the PDF to your inbox.

Today I’m covering responses #41-50 ~

When kids are defiant, melting down, yelling at you, or crying because they are upset, want to do something they cannot do, or aren’t doing something you’ve asked them to do, it can be inconvenient, embarrassing, and exhausting. But does it have to be? Instead....

We can observe the behavior as simply that! A behavior. And behaviors pass unless we feed them by giving them too much attention which often causes the child to repeat the behavior. How we respond to our child’s behaviors can make or break our relationship with them and determine how often the child will repeat the same unwanted behavior.

No-Problem Parents™

give behavior problems only as much attention as they deserve and then life goes on. We understand that behaviors are just that—behaviors. They pass, and we don't need to give them more attention than they deserve. By responding in a matter-of-fact yet empathetic way, without sarcasm, criticism, anger, or convincing tones, we can maintain a positive relationship with our children.

Parenting is a journey with its ups and downs. These responses are your tools to handle challenging moments while maintaining a positive relationship with your child. Remember, you've got this!

EP 196 Trauma Informed Parenting: NLP & Mind Mapping with special guest Dr Maiysha Clairborne

Tue, 14 Nov 2023 11:54:15 -0600

Welcome Back No-Problem Parents!

Trauma-informed parenting (instead of parenting from trauma, parenting from a healed Self)

Did you know words are only 7% of our communication? The rest is our body language, voice, facial expressions, and other non-verbal means. NLP or Neuro Linguistic Programming Training will not only help you understand language, but it will give you mastery so that you can manage any conversation and conflict with ease and grace. It’s not called the language of influence for nothing.

Meet Dr. Maiysha Clairborne, an Integrative Physician, Master Coach and trainer of Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), Hypnosis & Time Line Therapy®, & founder of the Mind Re-Mapping Co. Through her training, Dr. Clairborne helps individuals and organizations achieve mindset & communication mastery by teaching them how to eliminate negative thinking, faulty beliefs, and ineffective behaviors so that they can be trauma responsive in their communications & interactions with others.

Dr. Maiysha’s specialty in trauma-informed communication is teaching people the power of words, and how our unconscious thoughts and beliefs have an impact on the reality we create. Her training combines the mastery of emotional and communication intelligence, teaching leaders that by mastering their language (both internal and external) they can not only be conscious but also responsible for the impact of their words, actions, and behaviors. This ultimately helps them to communicate in a way that builds bridges, creating new connections and outcomes that positively impact the people, community & organizations they serve.

Dr. Maiysha enjoys working in Corporations, Medical Systems, and educational Institutions, bringing conversations and skills of trauma responsiveness, emotional intelligence, and a growth mindset culture to these spaces. She obtained her BA in Psychology at Emory University and her doctorate of medicine at Morehouse School of Medicine. In addition to gracing the TEDx Asheville Stage in 2022, she has delivered training in arenas such as the International Conference on Physician Health, and Women in Medicine Conference, and has served as a faculty coach for the ACGME’s Equity Matters Pilot DEI Certification Program. She is the Author of the book The Wellness Blueprint, co-author of the book Conscious Anti-Racism, and host of the podcast The Black Mind Garden

EP 195 Part 4/6: 60 Ways to Respond to Your Kids without Losing Your Cool

Thu, 09 Nov 2023 13:50:43 -0600

Welcome back to the No Problem Parenting podcast, where we turn behavior problems into no problems! I'm your host, Jaci Finneman. Today, we're delving into responses #31-40 of the 60 ways to respond to your kids without losing your cool.

Parenting is no cakewalk, and we all face challenging moments. The key is maintaining a positive relationship while addressing these situations. Remember, you're not alone in this journey. It's natural to feel upset at times, but how you respond makes all the difference.

Dealing with Unwanted Behaviors: Kids can be defiant, meltdown, yell, or cry for various reasons. But what if we approached these situations with preparation rather than dread? Our responses can either escalate or de-escalate the situation, influencing the frequency of repeated behaviors.

No-Problem Parents™ Approach: No-Problem Parents™ give behavior problems only as much attention as they deserve. It's about responding as a leader who understands the child's emotions without getting entangled in the battle. The goal is to be empathetic, firm, and confident without letting every behavior affect the parent-child relationship.

Empathy and Understanding: These 60 responses are designed to be shared in a matter-of-fact, empathetic way. The aim is to respond as a parent who understands the child's struggles, venting, or sadness. There's no need for sarcasm, criticism, or convincing tones.

Handling Your Own Emotions: Parenting can be emotionally challenging, and it's okay to feel upset sometimes. The key is modeling appropriate behavior even when upset. The responses provide tools for expressing your emotions without hurting others or losing control.

In today's episode, we're covering responses #31-40. To access the full list of 60 responses, visit noproblemparents.com, enter your name and email, and we'll send the PDF to your inbox.

This episode is brought to you by Dr. J.J. Kelly and The Get Real Program your guide to navigating the challenges of parenting teens and young adults.

Parenting is a journey with its ups and downs. These responses are your tools to handle challenging moments while maintaining a positive relationship with your child. Remember, you've got this!

EP 193 Part 3/6: 60 Ways to Respond to Your Kids without Losing Your Cool with Jaci Finneman

Thu, 02 Nov 2023 12:10:07 -0600

Welcome Back No-Problem Parents!

Get the 60 Ways to Respond to your kids without losing your cool FREE PDF and follow along with this 6-part series: http://smpl.ro/60WaystoRespond

Part 3/6 - Today Jaci shares #21-30 of the 60 Ways to Respond to your kids without losing your cool.

Dealing with children's unwanted behavior can be challenging, and it's important to maintain a calm and empathetic approach. These responses can be used for children of all ages, even infants. We'll explore how to respond when your infant or toddler is upset, refusing diaper changes, or resisting being buckled into the car seat to Kids and teens who are talking back or disrespecting you.

Does it really have to be? What if instead of dreading the defiance we are prepared to respond to it? Just because our kids get upset or reactive doesn’t mean we need to join them. We can observe the behavior as simply that! A behavior. And behaviors pass unless we feed them by giving them too much attention which often causes the child to repeat the behavior.

How we respond to our child’s behaviors can make or break our relationship with them and determine how often the child will repeat the same unwanted behavior.

No-Problem Parents™ give behavior problems only as much attention as they deserve and then life goes on. There is no need to take every behavior personally and in fact, when parents do take every behavior personally, we are unintentionally teaching kids that their behavior controls the health of our relationship with them. In other words, if they are behaving well, we feel better about ourselves, and our worth as a parent feels good. When our children are not behaving well, we feel responsible and often embarrassed which can cause anger and resentment or feelings of hopelessness and defeat.

These 60 responses are intended to be shared in a matter-of-fact yet empathetic way without sarcasm, criticism, anger, or convincing tones.

Let's learn how to be empathetic leaders in our children's lives without losing control.

Thu, 12 Oct 2023 10:33:20 -0600

Welcome Back No-Problem Parents!

Are you a parent who is driven by your career but feels stuck on the "corporate" path? Are you working a job that demands more than full-time hours, leaving little time for yourself and your family? Do you want to change direction but are afraid to make a move?

If you've been considering leaving a successful career to pursue your passions and to become a more present parent, my guest today has a resource that can help you carefully consider your options.

Meet Nick Goblirsch. In a remarkable journey of self-discovery and reinvention, Nick, a seasoned HR executive, embarked on a transformative transition at the age of 43, leaving behind a successful corporate career to embrace a new canvas as a professional house painter.

As a professional house painter, Nick found fulfillment in every meticulously painted wall and every transformed living space. The transition not only illuminated Nick's courage to embark on a new path but also revealed the undeniable connection between creativity and personal satisfaction. He became a better husband and father as his new line of work fulfilled and energized him.

Today, Nick stands as a testament to the transformative power of embracing change. The transition from HR executive to professional house painter showcases Nick’s resilience, adaptability, and unyielding commitment to creating a life that resonates with authenticity and purpose.

EP 184 Teens and Adults: How to stop suffering from negative thoughts, feelings, emotions and beliefs with Special Guest Julian Robus

Tue, 03 Oct 2023 10:26:45 -0600

Welcome Back No-Problem Parents!

Are you or your teen at your wit’s end?

Is stress, anxiety, depression, anger, regret, self-doubt, or mind-chatter, ruining your life?

Is it holding you back, destroying your happiness, or impacting your health, sleep, relationships, or work?

Are you longing to feel good, sleep well, smile more, and just be able to enjoy life? “I’ve found fast, easy, and reliable techniques. My guest today can help you.

Meet Julian Robus: Your Guide to Finding Happiness and Healing

Julian Robus knows the depths of despair and the journey to recovery intimately. At the age of 45, in December 2008, he found himself on the brink of hopelessness. In a world rife with quick fixes and distractions, Julian took a different path. He never believed in the crutches of alcohol, or drugs, and didn't find success in therapy. So he embarked on a quest to discover a natural way out of his anguish.

Julian knew there had to be an alternative, a lifeline that didn't require pharmaceuticals or traditional counseling. He cast a wide net, exploring various avenues for healing – from NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) to EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), from Life Coaching to Reiki, and even venturing into the world of hypnosis. But it wasn't until 2010 that he stumbled upon what he would call "proper, real meditation."

Meditation became the cornerstone of his transformation, the key that unlocked the door to a brighter future. The positive impact was so profound that Julian was inspired to share his newfound knowledge with others. However, he was steadfast in his commitment to only teach when he had achieved a place of genuine well-being himself.

Seven years later, while on a walk with his loyal canine companion, Julian's empathetic nature shone through. A neighbor confided that his wife was grappling with mental health issues, and without hesitation, Julian extended a helping hand. Through just nine happiness recovery sessions, this woman experienced a remarkable turnaround, reclaiming her joy and resilience.

Now, Julian Robus is on a mission to empower struggling adults and teens with the life-changing techniques that brought him back from the brink. As a stress reduction, mindfulness, and meditation instructor, he guides individuals toward instant relief, the clarity to banish negativity, and the restoration of happiness. Julian's promise is clear: "You’ll START FEELING BETTER in 5 minutes – or it’s FREE."

Julian Robus embodies the belief that within each of us lies the power to overcome, heal, and find joy once more. His journey from despair to enlightenment serves as an inspiring testament to the transformative potential of holistic approaches to well-being. Julian is here to show you that there is indeed another way – a way that leads to a life filled with happiness, hope, and renewed purpose.

Julian founded Happy Onion Living which helps you to:

Quickly quiete your racing or negative mind.
Understand what negative thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and behaviours really are. Where they come from. Why they come up (To help us, believe it or not)
And how to progressively neutralize and dissolve them for good. The BYPRODUCT, side effect, of releasing them the H.O.L. way is natural calmness, happiness, improved mental health, and productivity.

EP 178 Autism: Investing and Financial Planning for Independent Living with Special Guest Maria Zondervan

Sat, 23 Sep 2023 10:02:34 -0600

Welcome Back No-Problem Parents!

Today's guest is on a mission.

Maria Zondervan has a son with autism who may never be able to support himself fully financially and has made it her life’s mission to help others like him, by first helping their parents.

Maria specializes in helping parents of special needs children build a financially secure future for themselves and their children that will last generations.

Get the tools & knowledge needed to secure the future for your special needs child: Gov't Benefits, Guardianship, Special Needs Trust, etc.

NAVIGATING KEY OPTIONS for FAMILIES with SPECIAL NEEDS

There are so many frustrated parents out there without a plan, fearful of the future for their children. Maria guides them into becoming superheroes in their children’s lives. She helps parents become well informed, confident, generous, successful real estate investors, who are financially secure and have a nest egg for themselves and their children.

1. The government isn’t going to take care of your child. Social Security Disability Insurance, HUD, and Medicare in the United States are vastly insufficient to live on.

2. Taking care of a special needs child is many times more expensive than taking care of a regular child – which is already expensive. If you want a quality life, you can’t work 80 hours a week to support your family. You must find a better way to build wealth.

Maria left her biology career after a 26-year tenure to focus on securing a financially stable future for her autistic son through commercial real estate investing. She specializes in recession-resistant assets, such as affordable housing, long-term holds, and value-add apartments that help investors grow their net worth. Through her company, Blue Vikings Capital LLC, Maria helps investors achieve consistent annual returns of 12% or more.

Maria is also the Founder of Valhalla Villas, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing housing and independent living services for autistic adults. She offers investment opportunities in these communities for anyone seeking "forever hold" assets that they can pass on to their heirs, particularly beneficial to special needs parents who wish to ensure the financial security of their children.

Maria's accomplishments demonstrate that financial gain is not the only measure of success; making a positive impact on the world around us is equally important.

EP 177 Parenting Aging Parents; The Sandwich Generation with Special Guests Kim and Mike Barnes

Fri, 22 Sep 2023 10:18:59 -0600

Welcome Back No-Problem Parents!

In today's discussion, we explore the unique challenges faced by the sandwich generation: those who find themselves parenting their aging parents while also raising their own children. Being caught between these responsibilities can be emotionally and mentally demanding. Join us as we delve into practical strategies for navigating the complexities of caring for aging parents while still prioritizing your own family's needs.

Meet my guests today Kim & Mike Barnes, who were award-winning newscasters in Austin, Texas. But after leaving TV they found themselves helping their aging parents more and more. Dealing with Alzheimer's, pacemakers, cancer surgery, and more as they navigate long-distance caregiving. They launched a Facebook group in April 2021 called Parenting Aging Parents in an effort to help others trying to help their parents. The group includes expert interviews, resources, and a community of support. Kim and Mike have a 26-year-old son who's a graduate of Texas A&M and a 23-year-old daughter who's a graduate of the University of Texas.

Welcome Back No-Problem Parents!

Meet D.K. Drake the author of the Dragon Stalker Bloodlines Saga and host of the Published Before College podcast.

When she’s not lost in the world of her imagination or coaching authors, she looks for ways to live fun adventures in the real world. She loves the little things like hiking, swimming, and playing at the park with the kiddos. She also enjoys grander adventures like running in races that test her sanity, biking down mountains, and exploring other countries via backpacking.

She is a Christian, an Aunt Mom to four adopted kids, and lives with two of her sisters in the great state of North Carolina. And D.K. Drake is a pen name. Her real name is Bonnie Jean Schaefer.

EP 170 Say Goodbye to Screentime Guilt with Carrots&Cake with special guest Meredith DePaolo

Thu, 31 Aug 2023 05:40:39 -0600

Welcome Back No-Problem Parents!

In this enlightening episode of "Carrots&Cake," bid farewell to the overwhelming guilt associated with screen time. Join us as we delve into expert advice and practical tips that will help you navigate the world of technology and find balance, allowing you to enjoy the benefits without sacrificing your well-being. Get ready to say goodbye to screentime guilt and embrace a healthier relationship and balanced digital lifestyle.

Meet Meredith DePaolo

Co-founder of the #1 Parental Control Learning App Carrots&Cake helps kids build healthy screen time habits and parents say goodbye to screen time tantrums. Mother of two little girls

A TV journalist, Yale grad, and mother of two little girls. I felt like I was losing my mind during the lockdown and distance learning over my kids' screen time habits.

My husband and I set screen time limits, but our kids threw tantrums and rebelled when their time was up. Life turned into a negotiation. As parents, we found that fighting against Roblox, YouTube, Minecraft, and TikTok was a battle we could not win.

We tried parental control apps, but the existing technology didn't work. They were hard to set up, our kids broke out, and we got bombarded with notification requests for extra screen time. Fundamentally, we found the approach of simply limiting screen time flawed.

Families deserved something better.

So we teamed up with teachers, scientists, and child psychologists to create Carrots&Cake, an app focused on improving the quality of kids’ screen time. Now our kids have balance, we are happier, and our family has more time to connect.

Carrots&Cake prioritizes educational apps and gets kids to Learn First and Play Later. It puts parents in charge of technology while still giving kids agency. Our balanced limits help combat some of the biggest negative side effects associated with screen time: tantrums, anxiety, depression, obesity, sleeplessness, and lowered self-confidence. Tech companies and app developers understand a child’s dopamine reward pathway and leverage it to make it impossible for kids to put down their screens. Parents need to understand they aren’t fighting their kids over screen time, they’re battling Silicon Valley.

Since launching Carrots&Cake, parents report their kids’ daily screen time use is cut in half while time spent on educational apps has tripled.

Carrots&Cake has won The Mom’s Choice Award, Best New Mobile App Award 2022, and the Family Choice Award 2023

EP 157 Conscious Parenting: Parent without feelings of failure, guilt and shame with Special Guest Tania Lopez

Fri, 16 Jun 2023 12:21:59 -0600

Welcome Back No-Problem Parents!

Unconscious, conscious, and self-conscious parenting.

Unconscious parenting is when we are unaware that past programming, triggers, and baggage are being played out in our relationships with our children.

Self-conscious parenting is when we are super aware of other people's perceived views and opinions about us. We may feel constantly judged and feel that our parenting skills and decisions are being evaluated.

Conscious parenting is when we strive to become aware of our past programming and how it impacts our relationship with our children. It's not about being perfect but it's about being aware of what's not working and taking responsibility for making changes.

Feelings of failure, guilt, and shame in parenting really shape how parents view themselves and how they then show up with their children. My guest today is going to share where these feelings come from and what we can do about them.

In the about section of Julie's website she wrote: " I hate saying this, you guys. I hate all of it. But it happened. And it shook my whole life. And my family. I was fragile. I cried daily. I shook until I didn’t know if I could even breathe. I miss my sister like you cannot even imagine."

Writing the blog, prayer, faith, support group, counseling and giving back to others helped Julie find Hope again.

EP 133 Trust Your Momma Gut; 11 year old GiGi shares her experience living with a medical condition, which would have went undetected if her Mom hadn’t spoken up!

Tue, 14 Mar 2023 09:59:04 -0600

Welcome Back No-Problem Parents!

GiGi is a smart, witty, fun, beautiful and independent 11 1/2 year old girl who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in Nov 2022. This came as a big surprise as there is no histroy of Type 1 Diabetes in her family.

GiGi's mom Jessica wrote; On Nov 7, 2022 our lives changed forever. At a normal well-child check, a few days after our daughter had the flu, I told our pediatrician that I wanted my daughter to have her blood tested due to the fact that she was always thirsty, never full and losing weight. Little did I know that request would save her life. A few hours later, I received a late evening call from our pediatrician stating that our daughter had Type 1 diabetes. I told her she needed to run the tests again and that it had to be wrong because no one on either side of the family had Type 1 diabetes. After explaining that her A1C level was >15 (the chart doesn't go any higher), her glucose level was 535 and a plethora of other scary results, we rushed our daughter to Children’s hospital. Scared. Uncertain. And full of questions.The next few days were a whirlwind. We were surrounded by the most amazing care team we could ask for at Children’s, but our heads were spinning with information overload. All my brain processed was high levels will kill her, low levels will kill her. Control is a science and an art.......with no guarantees. Like many, I had no idea what the difference was between Type 1 diabetes and Type 2. Type 2 can often be controlled with diet and lifestyle. But when you have T1 diabetes (T1D), your body stops producing insulin—a hormone essential to turning food into energy. Managing the disease is a constant struggle that involves continuously monitoring your blood-sugar level via finger pricks and/or CGM devices, administering insulin before eating any meal, snack, treat, carefully balancing doses with eating and activity and for us it also involves a different insulin type to be administered before bedtime. Even with a strict regimen, people with T1D may still experience dangerously high or low blood-glucose levels that can, in extreme cases, be life threatening. With T1D there are no days off and there is no cure. But there is hope. We know God won’t put more on us (and our daughter) than we/she can handle. As challenging as this disease is, we try to focus on the positive and try to figure out a way to make light in the battle. We believe everything happens for a reason and I’m quite certain our daughter is going to make a positive impact in a big way toward raising awareness and finding a cure in her lifetime. That’s why we started GiGi’s Team and why we are participating in the 2023 JRDF One Walk Twin Cities event this year. We want to raise awareness, raise support and raise funds to find a cure.We hope you will join our team or donate to our fundraising goal! Your support is greatly appreciated!

NEED TO TALK?

TEXT “BRIGHTER” TO 741741

Every year, millions of teenagers struggle with thoughts of depression, deep sadness, isolation, stress, and the feeling of helplessness. Because of their mental health issues, thousands commit suicide, making it one of the leading causes of death among teens in the US.

Sadly, and too often, the parents of these teens are the last to learn about their child's mental problems, and sometimes it's too late to take action.

A Brighter Day aims to stop teen suicide by educating teens and their parents about mental disorders, and providing resources they can use to reach out and communicate when depression and stress are affecting either their own or the lives of those around them.

Book Launch No-Problem Parenting;

Raising Your Kiddos with More Confidence & Less Fear

It's BOOK LAUNCH DAY!!!! Get Your Copy Free on Amazon: Amazon Book Link Canadian Residents click this link: Candian Book Link

Parenting has become harder than ever. Combine the pandemic, extreme anxiety, cell phones, and social media, and many parents are at a complete loss for what to do next and fearful to make mistakes.

We created the book, No-Problem Parentig™; Raising Your Kiddos with More Confidence and Less Fear to help parents off the fear bus and gain confidence in your parenting!

The book features 21 authors who share how they are helping parents and kids become confident and kick fear to the curb.

“How do you parent with confidence when problems trigger uncertainty and fear? Insecure parents hover over, give in and feel sorry for their children,” says Finneman. “I designed my book to show parents how it is possible to be the expert of their child while accessing outside support from niched experts who understand the vital role of parents in their child’s lives. This book will inspire parents and provide education and a new perspective that will have parents feeling confident in areas of parenting where they otherwise felt insecure.”

Many parents ask Finneman, “Why isn’t my parenting working”? She suggests that the answer is often one of three things:

1) You’re being too nice.

2) You’re being too mean.

3) You’re trying to solve a problem that you’re not skilled at and attempting to go it alone.

Finneman hopes that her book also helps those who unexpectantly become a parent or accept the responsibility of caring for a child that needs a parent, to address worry and doubt.

EP. 78 Tantrums, Meltdowns & Misbehavior; Build trust with your toddlers and preschoolers with the Sit in the Chair Technique

Thu, 04 Aug 2022 11:16:39 -0600

Welcome Back No-Problem Parents!

Do your kids believe you will follow through when you redirect them? Do they believe you mean what you say? Or, maybe you set a limit, redirect or give a consequence to your child and they misbehave anyway? Maybe they laugh at you, run the other way when you call them or wet noodle to the floor, throw a tantrum and pull out all the stops to get you to give in?

The Sit in the Chair technique is for kids under 5 years old and its designed to stop an unwelcome behavior and helps your child reset without lecturing, yelling, or explaining. They learn that you mean what you say when you are able to follow through without frustration no matter how defiant they become and then.....they begin to trust you. The technique also helps your kiddo think before they act in future situations where they would otherwise be impulsive.

Be sure to plan to have a support person with you the first time you try this technique, and that you have enough time to follow through in case your kiddo challenges your direction.

This matter of fact, cause and effect technique helps your child problem solve without verbal explanations and teaches them to make good decisions on their own, from the inside out.

He shares the importance of delaying gratification, listening to our kids more than telling them what you want them to do, and validating their ideas, efforts, and resilience.

Thu, 12 May 2022 08:13:21 -0600

Welcome Back No-Problem Parents!

Every Behavior is Communication! It can be tough to deal with behaviors.

Perhaps your child is biting, hitting, kicking, spinning, running into walls or climbing on everything. Maybe as they've grown their risk-taking behaviors are increasing, their attention span is decreasing or maybe they just don't seem to have any ambition to try new things and their self esteem is suffering?

Step one of No-Problem Parenting is to "Seek first to Understand "why my child is behaving the way they are" and why am I, the parent, responding or reacting the way "I am?"

Are you a parent of a child with autism, ADHD, or behavioral issues who is frustrated with your current service provider?

Are you feeling overwhelmed with the number of services your child is receiving?

Do you feel discouraged because your child has reached a plateau, but you know they have so much more potential?

Wed, 04 May 2022 06:00:00 -0600

Welcome Back, No-Problem Parents!

Every day could be Mothers Day in my book but I love the story of how and why Mothers Day was started in the USA and so I thought I’d share that with you today!

You might be surprised to learn that it wasn’t simply to treat Moms to a day off or give them a special card or gift. The creation of a national Mother's Day is primarily attributed to three women: Ann Reeves Jarvis, Julia Ward Howe, and Ann's daughter, Anna M. Jarvis, who championed efforts toward better health, welfare, peace, and love. It essentially began as a women’s movement to better the lives of other Americans. Listen in, it's a great story of how the day finally came to be and how it almost ended.

EP. 59 Emotional Intelligence Builds Self Esteem; Wanting to be your kids friend is causing our kids to be anxious & ashamed. with Special Guest Dr. J.J.Kelly

Thu, 28 Apr 2022 06:00:00 -0600

Welcome Back No-Problem Parents!

Do you have a tween or teen that is struggling with;

• Ongoing conflicts in relationships

• Intense and rapid mood changes

• Inability to relax

• Trouble recognizing choice

• Holding in anger, then “blowing up” at others

• Impulsive or reactive decisions they often regret

• Self-medicating with substances, e.g., food, sugar, alcohol,

"busy-ness", spending, etc.

• Feeling overwhelmed

• Avoiding responsibilities, people, or events

• “Numbing out” in response to fear, anger, etc?

Are you worried, nervous around them, unsure what to do or how to talk to your teen? Are you trying to be your child's friend in an effort to be relatable or smooth things over enough to have a good day? Guess what? Your uncertainty, your "being nice" may actually be causing our kids to be anxious and ashamed.

Listen in to the conversation about how we need to talk with our teens as much (or more)

about our thoughts as we do our feelings.

Meet Dr. J.J. Kelly, of Unorthodocs, Inc.

"After 16 years of passionately working in the current system of the mental health profession and seeing the systemic sexism, racism, homophobia, ableism, narcissism and elitism…I wanted nothing more than to burn it all down. Then I decided to redirect my outrage into building something new based on love, laughter, and teaching emotional intelligence – because I believe that global healing is achieved by teaching people the skills to like themselves, or as I always say….Happy people act right."

Dr. J.J. offers courses through her Get Real Program, an emotional skills training program based on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). DBT was developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan and combines Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Zen Mindfulness skills from Thich Nhat Hahn’s book, The Miracle of Mindfulness.

"DBT is The Sh**, and I make learning a complex set of concepts and skills fun and funny. Yer gonna laugh yourself right into healthy…” – Dr. Kelly

Listen in as Dr. J.J. Kelly shares that Emotional Intelligence is key to building self-esteem, Family Values are more important than having a "friendship" with your child and why humor is SO important to our mental health!

"Global healing is achieved by teaching people the skills to like themselves. The Get Real Program created by licensed clinical psychologist Dr. J.J. Kelly does just that."

Tue, 10 Aug 2021 12:59:29 -0600

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!

EP - 23 I’m Sorry isn’t Enough! Introducing the Make It Right Technique

Fri, 16 Jul 2021 12:44:59 -0600

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

EP 20 - Parenting a Child who has lost a parent& Creating a Life you Love after Loss with special guest Kari Davis

Tue, 29 Jun 2021 13:14:11 -0600

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.

EP 11 - Are you losing your cool with your kids because you're too nice?

Fri, 14 May 2021 10:55:19 -0600

HELLO PARENTS! You’re irritability with your kids might be at an all time high right now – this past year has been super challenging and our patience in general has been tested to the max.

Add behavior problems to your already stressed out life and it’s no wonder you’re losing your cool!

A good majority of my coaching clients this past year have come to me with this problem – and they are trying their best to keep their cool and not react

But here’s the deal. The root of the "flying off the handle" problem is almost always because these parents have been too nice! Sounds like an oxymoron, right?

Listen in as I share how being too nice and not allowing natural or logical consequences to happen, not following through with the little things because you just want to keep the peace can cause you to blow up in the long run.
