In episode 011 of the Are They 18 Yet? Podcast, I sit down with Katherine Endy from The Family Life Coach. Katherine is a social worker, mom of 3, and doctoral candidate at the University of Maryland.
If you’re a parent, you’ve likely spent a lot of time thinking about your kids’ behavior and mental well-being.
But how much time do you spend thinking about your OWN mental health and well-being?
In this conversation, Katherine share insights from her clinical work, personal experiences as a mom, and her research, including:
✅The problem with most parenting advice out there, and why it shouldn’t all be focused on the child’s behavior.
✅Why giving a child a “time-out” isn’t the best option, and what to do instead.
✅How to figure out what your child REALLY needs during a meltdown.
✅Why rewards and punishment aren’t the best way to manage behavior, and how to set boundaries without negatively impacting your relationship with your child.
✅How to make time for self-care and mindfulness in your daily life (even if you only have 30 seconds to yourself at a time).
