My Favorite Advice on Intentional Parenting - with Destini Davis

*This month we're re-running our top episodes of all time. We hope you enjoy this conversation, whether it's your first time tuning in or a worthwhile re-listen! This episode is a true treat for parents who want to THRIVE. Destini is a certified parenting coach, a social media rockstar, the author of Very Intentional Parenting, and one of my personal FAVORITE people to follow on Instagram. Her advice today is equal parts practical and applicable. We talk about how to build better connections with your kids and challenge the idea of “discipline” as means of teaching instead of punishing. We talk about transitioning from being “the yeller” parent to better regulating your own emotions in tough parenting moments, and we talk about actual scripts to use to get through high emotion, high tension situations like a child hitting or acting out. Destini is all about data collection, so you’ll finish this episode feeling more equipped as a mom (or dad!), and better able to hold boundaries compassionately and parent calmly, learning your kid, what works, and what doesn’t.
