Episode 65: The Missing Ingredient to Creating Your Peaceful Family

In this episode, I talk about what I typically see missing from the equation when you just can’t stop fighting with your kids. We have to get in the habit of having conversations ahead of time or at least at a non-relevant moment.

Topics Covered:

  • The messy moments

  • Q.T.I.P. - Quit taking it personally

  • Productive Conversations

  • After School Restraint Collapse

  • Hurt people hurt people

  • Timing is key when effectively teaching kids all the “things”

  • The 3 Ps - have a plan, establish protocol and  be on the same page

  • How to establish consequences ahead of time 

If indecision, overwhelm and feeling stuck is a big issue for you - it might make sense for you to reach out and schedule a time for us to chat. randirubenstein.com/discovery

Episode 60: Communicating Like a Boss: Your Pack Leadership Mama Voice

In this episode, I tell a story about this really large dude sitting next to me on a recent flight. I think you guys are going to possibly squirm with a little discomfort as you hear about my exchange with him.

As women, I think contrary to the common belief that we’re the ones who love to talk about all things touchy feel-y...clear assertive communication isn’t often our strong suit. Especially when we need to speak up for ourselves. This is an important convo for all of us to have because as the “pack leaders” of our families, it’s very important that we learn how to communicate and lead effectively. It helps our kids feel safe in the world. It also programs our children with these important skills so they learn how to do this for themselves as they grow into pack leaders themselves one day.

Topics Covered:

I’d love to know what was your biggest takeaway from this episode. Let me know!

  • What is the “Mom Manual”

  • The Parent Gap

  • D.A.R.E. - Dissolve And Release Experience
