How to Coach a Complex Child with Elaine Taylor-Klaus

If you have a complex kid you don't need to ask the question “What is a complex kid?”. When you have done everything that parenting experts have told you to do, when typical parenting paradigms aren’t working and you are still struggling, then a coaching approach may help. It's an empowerment based method all about transferring ownership and fostering independence. It works with all kids unbelievably well but particularly those where there are control issues involved. Elaine Taylor-Klaus, MCC, is first and foremost the mom in an ADHD family of six, and her complex kids are now successful young adults. Professionally, she is a Master Certified Coach – bringing a coach-approach to her work as an internationally recognized speaker, author, educator and trusted advisor to parents, executives, health care and education professionals. For more info on Elaine check out https://impactparents.com/.

  • 60. Parenting Unfiltered: Turning Failures into Character Building Moments with Michelle Icard

    33:41||Season 12, Ep. 60
    When our kid has a misstep, rebellion, or mistake, it can feel like we as parents have failed them. Similar to muscle growth, our kids need to tear and repair along their life journey to become more emotionally strong and resilient. in this repeat episode with Michelle Icard, author of 8 Setbacks That Can Make a Child a Success: What to Do and What to Say to Turn “Failures’ into Character-Building Moments, we learn how to reframe our expectations and help our kids prepare to launch in to the real world confidently. Michelle has worked with parents, children, and teachers for more than 20 years, creating curriculum, books, and programs that help them better understand and navigate early adolescence.

  • 59. Sexy Time At The Inlaws

    32:07||Season 12, Ep. 59
    Nat managed to sneak in a little sexy time at the in-laws which is next-level impressive! Qualifier, this is a repeat episode so it remains to be seen if Nat got some sexy time in on holiday with her family in Costa Rica. The stakes are high, which makes it even more of an accomplishment. This got us thinking: there really should be a point system for sex in unconventional places. How many points do you get for pulling it off at your in-laws? Is it based on proximity to their bedroom? Soundproofing levels? The added fear factor of family members knocking on the door? If you've got stories, we want to hear them. Points or no points—sometimes you just have to make it work!Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?

She is a two-time Olympian, and two two-time IIHF World Champion, holds the Olympic record for most points and most assists in a single women's tournament and is leading the conversation around diversity and inclusion in hockey as one of the only women of colour in a male-dominated sport.

  • 56. Parenting Unfiltered: Get Your Kids To Listen with Amy McCready

    31:16||Season 12, Ep. 56
    Many parents find themselves in a pattern; they calmly ask their kids to do something and nothing happens. Then they repeat the ask, repeat it again, with one more reminder and then…the parent blows up. When kids don't listen, parents often feel the need to take back control and you can almost guarantee that you'll enter into a power struggle where no one comes out as the winner. In this repeat episode, you'll learn that misbehaviour is always a symptom of a deeper issue, what causes it, and the strategies to correct it. Amy McCready — who describes herself as a “recovering yeller” — is the Founder of Positive Parenting Solutions and the author of two best-selling parenting books: If I Have to Tell You One More Time and The “Me, Me, Me” Epidemic.

  • 54. Chats with Alala Founder Denise Lee

    32:49||Season 12, Ep. 54
    Cat literally lives in athleisure so it made perfect sense to chat with Denise Lee, entrepreneur and founder of Alala, a self-funded multi-million dollar apparel brand that not only brings joy to women through sophisticated, high quality clothing, but also seeks to advance dialogue around body positivity and diversity. Denise left her family and moved halfway around the world, from Singapore to New York by herself to pursue her ambitions of turning her dreams into reality. Denise chats about the mentality of a bootstrap business, her core principles, running an all women business and the obstacles she overcame along the way. Discover the one piece from the Alala clothing line that has transformed Denise's life! For more on Alala head over to @alala.Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?

  • 52. Parenting Unfiltered: Kids Holiday Wish Lists

    32:06||Season 12, Ep. 52
    The holiday season is here, and with it comes those never-ending wish lists from our kids, even though half of it will be forgotten by February. If we quizzed them on what they got last year, they’d probably fail. And that’s our parenting conundrum this week: how do you manage the chaos of over-the-top holiday requests? We’re also tackling the bigger parenting struggle—the push and pull of wanting your kids to be their absolute best without pushing them so far that they end up resenting you. Do you back off or lean in? How much is too much?Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?
