20. Victim vs Victor 20:13

12d ago20:13

20:13

When we're experiencing a challenge, a crisis, or a trauma - it's natural to feel like a victim. In fact, we're designed with defense mechanisms in our brain to create a fear response and help us avoid similar awful situations in the future. I know as a parent dealing with unsettling, overwhelming, scary behaviors in my home - I certainly felt like…

15. You are not broken 23:44

2M ago23:44

23:44

When our kids are struggling - we are often struggling. We look outside our home and see other parents having fun, enjoying their kids. We see other parents raising kids who aren't defiant, disrespectful, destructive, or disconnected. When we're struggling like this, we often only see 2 possible causes - 1) either our kids are "bad kids," or 2) we …

13. Human Design and My Relationships 22:01

2M ago22:01

22:01

Have you ever wondered why you connect with some people better than others? This can be especially true with our kids - and can cause us parents so much distress, as we interpret this as "liking" one of our kids better than the others. Or have you ever wondered why things can be going so well with one person (or child) and then a 3rd or 4th person …

12. I'll be happy when... 20:27

3M ago20:27

20:27

When I meet parents who are stressed, overwhelmed, or even at the end of their rope, I often hear a common theme: "I'll be happy when my child stops (you can fill in the blank here)," or "I'll stop feeling frustrated when my child does (fill in the blank)." This is a common human reaction. We all do it to some degree - it's our default way of think…

11. Experts vs Intuition 17:28

2M ago17:28

17:28

When facing a new challenge, where do you turn first for answers? In the past couple of decades, many of us would say the experts (or Google, lol!). We feel frustrated, overwhelmed, uncertain - and we turn to the experts. Don't get me wrong - there is value in knowledge, expertise, and specialized skills. However - you are the expert in your child.…

10. Connection vs spending time together 30:51

3M ago30:51

30:51

The parents I serve, the parents I connect with, the parent I was... would all say something along this line: "I am giving all of my time, my attention, my energy, my (you can probably add more here!) to my one child - they are exhausting me!" But is giving your time, your attention, your energy, etc. the same as connecting with your child? Our kid…

8: Enjoy Mother's Day? 12:53

3M ago12:53

12:53

As Mother's Day approaches, how are you feeling? For so many of us, it can come with more disappointment than joy, more frustration than fun, more sadness than flowers. When raising children with intense emotions or behaviors, we may be in a position to just hope that nobody gets hurt, there aren't too many tears, or that we can survive the day. An…

7: But I adopted my child is a tiny infant 11:04

3M ago11:04

11:04

6: Creating a vision for your family 20:13

4M ago20:13

20:13

You're in the thick of it - daily, overwhelming behaviors. You spend your "free" time worrying about when the next blow-up, aggression, destruction, self-mutilation, or worse will happen. You see family vacations, nice dinners with family or friends, or even a trip to the zoo as impossible - something that only the lucky parents get to enjoy. What …

4: What does my child need from me right now? 18:31

5M ago18:31

18:31

When we are facing constant behaviors - we tend to become quick to react. We might react with consequences, with "teaching," with reminders of "the rules." But what if our children's behaviors are driven by their tricky past, coming from a place of trauma? Would you respond the same as you are now? If you child was crying, saying "I'm sad and scare…

2: Trauma & Attachment 15:48

5M ago15:48

15:48

I know some don't want to hear this… but adoption is a traumatic event. If we as adoptive parents pretend like it's a beautiful gift that we give or child - we are fooling ourselves, and creating an environment that may give our kids the impression that they should not grieve, they should be grateful or happy. The truth is, adoption is a huge loss …

3: The catalyst to my change 23:16

5M ago23:16

23:16

As my daughter was growing up, I felt pretty confident in my skills. I didn't second-guess myself that often, and I trusted my inner authority to do what was best for her. I would've referred to myself as a good mom. Once my son joined the picture - this all changed. I stopped seeing myself as a good mom, and instead felt like such a failure. I was…
