We want to be able to influence our kids. We want them to listen to us, and we want to be able to calm them down so they can work through situations with less drama. So it can be challenging when our attempts to influence them don't work… or even make things worse! In this second episode of a two-part series, we’ll discuss what's needed to become a powerful positive influence with your children so you can bring more peace to your home, even if that seems impossible now.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The type of influence we usually have with our children – and why it doesn’t motivate better behavior, moods, and attitudes

• The two qualities that you need if you want your children to listen more readily and calm down more easily

• What it looks like when you do improve your influence (even if your children don’t realize it’s happened)

Most of us crave more calm in our homes. But what do we do when there is drama on an almost-daily basis and nothing we try makes a difference in our child’s behavior? Is it possible to reduce the drama and feel more confident in our parenting without damaging our relationship with our children? The good news is you can bring more peace to your family while increasing your children’s resilience and self-esteem.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why our current parenting strategies don’t change behavior, moods, or attitudes

• The differences between Band Aid Parenting and Long Game Parenting

• What our kids really need from us when they’re struggling (and the long-term benefits of meeting their needs rather than addressing negative behavior with punishments and rewards)

It’s natural to want our kids’ negative behaviors, moods, and behaviors to stop. But what happens when nothing we do seems to end the drama? How can we break out of the cycles of negativity?

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why “quick fix” methods don’t help our kids feel better (and often make things worse)

• Why Yuck Dumps are NOT the same as wallowing, and how these Dumps actually build resilience

• Simple ways to help children release their negativity and frustration
