In today's quick episode, I break down a key facet to behavior modification I've been supporting a lot of clients with lately!

• 2 Examples of effective behavior modification outside of parenting
• What the "Hold the Football" Tool is and why it's critical
• How to apply this tool when a sibling is being pestered in the car

My guest today, Holly Murphy, is accomplished in their profession, a devoted parent in love with their kids, a vibrant personality, AND they’re open about how if they knew what they knew NOW back THEN, they would not become a parent.

You might not agree with Holly, but I know they’re not the only one. If there’s one thing we are on Failing Motherhood- it’s honest - and that’s why stories like Holly’s have a place here.

There is nothing more serious than making the commitment to become a parent. Do you truly know what you’re signing up for? Can you?

IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVERED...

• Holly's two different paths into parenthood
• Why we believe parenting is so much harder than teaching (as teachers)
• Ways to find yourself outside the parent role

DON'T MISS-

• What to do when parenting isn't what you thought it would be

I believe in you + I'm cheering you on.

It's that time of year, when your strong-willed child keeps it together all day at school then lets it all fall apart with you the second they get in the car.

I packed this episode full of perspective, mindset shifts, tangible strategies and preventative measures to equip you with the "game face" you need to tackle this transition.

IN THIS EPISODE I SHARED:

• How to meet them where they're at while still setting boundaries
• Why saying "Stop." "Don't" or "Calm down" won't work and what will instead
• Questions to ask instead of "how was your day?"

DON'T MISS:

• The tool you need to try esp. if you have siblings riding home together
