Conscious Parenting & the Power of Authentic Relationships with our Children with Kaitlyn Streit of @themellowmama

Susan Groner

Susan (Sue) Groner joins me on this episode to discuss how we can shift our perspective as parents and make parenting young children who don't listen less stressful. We discuss: why young children don't always do what we tell them, how we can help support them during transitions in a way that is developmentally appropriate and understanding of their needs, how to respond to hitting and other aggressive behaviors, dealing with sibling rivalry, and the importance of 1:1 connection time.   Susan G. Groner, an experienced mother of 2 young adults, knows how stressful and overwhelming parenting can be. As the founder of The Parenting Mentor, a multifaceted platform for parents looking for guidance in raising emotionally healthy, self-resilient children, Sue provides simple and effective parenting strategies. With the goal of reducing everyday stress and anxiety that inevitably comes from being a parent, Sue provides a roadmap that shifts perspective to help parents be happier and more relaxed. Sue is the author of Parenting with Sanity and Joy. 101 Simple Strategies,  the host of The Parenting Mentor Sessions Podcast and a certified Positive Discipline parent educator. She is also the creator of the CLEARR™, a method of parenting developed through years of trial (and her fair share of errors!).  CLEARR™ adheres to the belief that parenting strategies should be grounded in six important pillars: Communication, Love, Empathy, Awareness, Rules, and Respect. This has become the cornerstone of her practice as The Parenting Mentor. From how to stop being the homework, screentime, food, or sleep warden to reducing sibling rivalry, the wisdom of her methodology helps parents foster and maintain a more fulfilling and stress-free experience while in the trenches of day-to-day child-rearing.  ---   Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/taylorkulik/support

She believes parents have been led astray by the modern medical-industrial system and the multitude of opinions and information available and have dampened the ability to mother biologically and instinctually. She wants to encourage mothers to take back that instinctual power in order to be less dependent on the systems that took away their authority.

The Impact of Formula Marketing and our Culture's Obsession with Independence on Breastfeeding & Parenting with Andrea Haskins

Join me, Taylor Kulik, an occupational therapist and sleep &amp; well-being specialist, as we examine the mainstream narratives that dominate our culture. It's common to enter parenthood without really stopping to reflect on why we are doing the things we are doing. This is a space where we will challenge societal parenting and childhood norms and discuss biological infant sleep without sleep training. We'll also share real journeys of parents who have gone against the grain by practicing responsive and respectful parenting, and by following their intuition.
