The Parenting Coach Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Our beliefs about our kids matter, and we can be one of the greatest influences of their lives. Intentional parenting can set us up to help support our kids through any challenge and instill them with beliefs that will help them achieve true success (not just the type of success that we’re socialized to believe matters most). 

In this episode: 

• Dropping my oldest off at college and all the mixed emotions (and how it brought up this topic over the weekend)
• What manifestation has to do with parenting (and the spiritual principles of it)
• What you value most and how to instill those values into your kids through manifestation
• How to find out if shame is blocking belief work (in any area of your life, but I share a parenting example that you’ll likely relate to).
• Join my $5 live coaching event HERE and I will do more than teach you these principles, I’ll SHOW you, and we’ll get there together (live on zoom, and recordings sent out to you…. Bring a friend!)

New shame-free parenting coaching program coming up for parents of elementary-aged kids… get on the waitlist HERE for more information.

Neurodivergent kids need to be supported both in the home and in the classroom to thrive and grow. ADHD and anxiety seem to be on the rise, but schools aren’t always creating the most effective environment for the growth to happen. In this episode I am joined by Dr Emily in a conversation around supporting learning in the classroom for neurodivergent kids, and how this support can help all kids too. 

In this episode: 

• We talk about how to support ADHD and anxiety in our kids and youth
• Why anxiety may be on the rise, and the power of play
• Our current curriculum not aligning with child development
• How play-based education is supportive for young kids (not pushing academics early will help them with future learning)
• How we can advocate for our kids mental health in the classroom, and when to know if changing schools is needed

Dads can connect to their kids in an amazing way- and teach, lead and guide through that connection. Join Tal Eyre and I on the podcast this week as we talk about his new book (Dad Mode), self-connection, connection with kids and more. 

In December 2011, Anita and Tal welcomed their daughter, Annina, into their family, and Dad Mode was officially activated. Tal went on to earn a Master of Applied Positive Psychology (MAPP) degree at the University of Pennsylvania and then applied his learnings with his family and as a Swiss-based leader in global business development. Through it all, Tal’s highest priority has remained his family and Dad Mode reveals some of his key learnings along the way. Tal and his family live in the Swiss Alps.

Today you’ll hear: 

• Self-connection and shadow work, and how they are at the center of increasing our connection with kids 
• The 4 parenting styles, and how connection helps you maintain healthy relationships 
• Teaching our children through our own failures and imperfections (not through never messing up)
• Crystal defines what connection-based parenting means to her, and why it’s so important 
• Dropping permissiveness, yelling and coercion and parenting with love, while maintaining boundaries

Join the re-parenting movement, at my next retreat, The Inward Journey: www.coachcrystal.ca/the-retreat

Parent School: Discover your own unique path, with confidence… raising emotionally intelligent children that leave your home knowing that you truly, deeply care for them… that you aways have, and you always will. Isn’t that we all want deep down? That is my goal for me, and for you… and for the future generation for children we are raising. To be seen. To be heard. To be valued. To feel loved. To feel supported. To feel known. To welcome them to be themselves- fully and completely. That is The Work. I am here for it. Welcome. 

Join me for the LAST LIVE round of Parent School:

• shame resiliency: how to feel shame and move through it, what triggers us and why, and how to move through heaviness and use it for growth. 
• emotional regulation: what co-regulation is and how to support our children from our energy- not our words (not scripts and mantras, this work is much deeper than that), how to support ourselves and our kids through big emotions.
• the power of our thoughts and beliefs: how to separate who we are from what we think, how to create the exact relationship we want through the power of our mind 
• connection-based parenting: why it’s the way of the future, how to parent in a relationship-first manner, developing deep and lasting connections that last a lifetime.
• 6 modules covering all these topics, and more. 2 group coaching calls to get support in your individual family situations. (add-on available for your partner to join).

I’m back from a lovely 6-week break from IG and the podcast… and I’ve learned some things along the way that I feel called to share with you. I spent much-needed time resting, pausing, being still, connecting and spending time outdoors. Doing this taught me a lot about my own self-worth, how to be more intentional in my be-ing and my do-ing, and why it’s kind of amazing to do less.

What we chat about today:

• Minimalism in our life, parenting and schedule
• Simplicity in life comes from stillness, pause and rest
• Self-worth tied to productivity
• Sneaky expectations in parenting
• Tuning in to our parental intuition

Coaching has changed my own life, and the lives of my clients. More connection, more healing, more harmony and peace in our most important relationships. It increases confidence in any difficulties that come up in parenting, which helps you be the guide and teach your children the family values that are important to you- in clear ways. If you feel called to integrate this work in a deeper way, that’s what I’m here for.

Connection is THE most powerful tool in our parenting toolbox. Traditional parenting tactics look like spanking, grounding, and time-outs. You’ll notice with traditional methods that over time, they don’t really seem to work- in fact, they make things worse. Connection works long-term and creates the kind of relationship that you want to have with your kids.

In today’s episode:

• The real problem with rewards and punishments (and what they teach)
• How to use connection as teaching tool with our kids
• How to connect to US first- so we can connect with THEM with ease
• Connection and the model, where does it fit?

If you were disciplined through more coercive measures- spanking, time-outs, grounding, bribing or threats… you may have felt like you turned out just fine. What does fine actually look like though? How is this affecting your current parenting and your current self? Let’s dig into what FINE looks like and learn about what “inner healing” really means.

In today’s episode:

• How our childhood affects our parenting now
• What the FAWN trauma/alarm response is
• How we internalize our failures and mistakes as parents and people
• Why living an inauthentic life leads to burn-out
• Why we’re so emotionally reactive and what to do about it
