Episode 72: Mastermind Mascot: Teaching your kids about private vs. public behavior

Recently I had a mom ask about her 6 year old’s penis touching “habit”.

When you're a family that talks about EVERYTHING…

Sometimes touchy subjects arise.

In this summer VLOG, I combine some old school common sense with a newer age method to help this mama have a productive penis convo:)

I think you’re gonna find it helpful as you begin to tackle these things with your own kiddos…

AND yes, you’re allowed to have some fun with it!

Enjoy.

Episode 71: Mastermind Mascot: Old School Parenting...Don’t Throw the Baby Out with the Bathwater

Happy Summer!

Most of us want our kids to have good manners.

We want them to grow up to be responsible citizens of the world.

We want them to NOT embarrass us in front of grandparents.

I consider these old school basics.

Unfortunately, many of the old school values were taught in a way that ended up shaming, berating and belittling kids.

So how do we support our kiddos in learning all the “things"?

I believe it’s a dance that combines these old school values with new age methods that don’t mutilate their spirit.

In the coming weeks, I’ll be covering the Mastermind Parenting choreography to effectively accomplish this.

I’ll be discussing a few touchy subjects we don’t normally talk about.

Like how to handle potty talk, penis and vagina touching and whether to force or not to force grandparent affection.

My message today is that when it comes to manners and some of the old school values, we wanna use common sense.

Essentially, we don’t want to...

“Throw the baby out with the bathwater”

Episode 69: Are you sick of doing EVERYTHING?

Are you sick of reminding your kids about EVERYTHING?!

You may even find yourself doing the "things" for them that you know they can do for themselves.

And even though it feels sometimes like your life is not your own, you continue to do the "things" for them.

Because you're tired.

Tired of reminding.

Tired of arguing.

Tired of power struggling.

Tired of them procrastinating. 

I mean just take a FREAKING bath already and get ready for bed.

So you oversee and assist and it usually ends in a screaming match. 

This is not what you envisioned.

This does NOT feel like a life filled with freedom and joy.

In honor of July 4th... let freedom ring more often in your home.
