Parenting In The Thick Of It With Louise Clarke

The subject of judgment really intrigues me. Where does it come from and why on earth do we do it? And more importantly, what are the ill-effects of our judgment on our children? And what’s the difference between an opinion, judgment, and criticism anyway? If you know you are perhaps a little bit of a judger… let’s face it, who isn’t, then take a listen. If not for yourself, for your kids.

Oh, wouldn’t it be nice if our kids came with a handbook, so we would know exactly what to do in any given situation!

No sooner is your child home from a sleepover and they are asking for another, with a different friend. If you say "No" you are the worst, and nastiest parent in the world. And as they get older, you might not even know the parents! What do you do? What is reasonable? How do you deal with the pushback? It can be hard to navigate and keep your cool. In this episode, I talk through many aspects of sleepovers that I feel need to be considered and what you might consider doing to help you better manage them and find more balance. Tune in...

I felt called to record this episode today off the back of THE Oscar performance last Sunday night. What an unfortunate chain of events... However, more disturbing to me is the outpour of criticism, shame, judgment and righteousness off the back of it. Where is compassion and empathy in all of this and what is this "reaction" to it all teaching our kids? Whether either of their behaviours were right or wrong, the backlash is, in my books, even worse. Are we all so perfect that we never get triggered and say or do something we, with hindsight, wish we hadn't? And seriously, is taking away his Oscar going to make it all better? I discuss all of this and how we can help our kids not dial into this human drama and instead turn to curiosity, compassion and empathy. We have to role model this and lead the way and right now, I don't think that, collectively, enough of us are doing this. Do tune in...

How is is possible for my oh so sweet child to become so sour in a nanosecond? I don't even have to have said anything to them and it can happen. It's like they suddenly despise me. What on earth causes it? And how am I supposed to deal with it, not be permissive to it, yet maintain my boundaries? It's so hard to not be triggered by it and dial out of it when they can be so rude, disrespectful and snarky. In this episode, I share with you my secret. Curious? Tune in...

Seeing our kids struggling, emotionally or physically, is hard for parents to witness. In fact, sometimes it’s so hard and uncomfortable for us that we just try to fix things to avoid the “pain” for US in having to sit in it with our kids. But this way of dealing with it does our kids no favours at all. It actually denies them the opportunity of developing some much-needed life skills. Which ones?

I am always intrigued to ask parents this question and see what their response is! Have you ever given it much thought? What do you want for your kids? Not surprisingly, most parents reply with a “I just want my kid to be HAPPY + SUCCESSFUL”. Maybe you want this as well? In this episode, I discuss the pitfalls with this way of thinking. Don’t get me wrong, on the surface, I want this too, but I don’t say it to my kids. Why?

This is something that many parents suffer from and struggle with, and something that, according to Margaret J. Wheatley, creates “a cauldron of self-hatred that destroys us”. Worse still, when we are parenting from this place, it is impossible to act wisely, deploy discernment and take the right actions. Curious? You should be!

How can a child be connected yet disconnected? And if today’s kids are so connected, then what’s the problem I hear you ask? It’s what they are connected to that’s the problem and the cost of it. They might feel and be “connected” but research is showing that tweens and teens are feeling more isolated and alone than ever and are not developing the much-needed social skills required of them in the real world.

Every time I speak to THE MOST important or underused skill in parenting, I tend to have one thing in mind but always end up mentioning something else!

I’m not sure about you, but I’d never heard THIS interpretation (thank you Jen Gotlieb and Chris Winfield) of F.O.M.O and I really liked it, especially from a parent’s perspective. So, today on the show I decided to chat about it all, in particular, the F in F.O.M.O because as I’ve mentioned before, it’s the F that really effs us up. And with the F, effing us up, we can’t deal with the MO!

"I don't care" your teen says to you for the umpteenth time. It can be infuriating to be on the receiving end of this for parents. But what do you do? What do you say? And why do they say it?

Hope as you may, the sad reality is this: parenting problems do not usually just disappear on their own accord. It’s a roller coaster of a ride and yes, there are the ups, which are amazing, but there are also the downs, which are usually not so amazing. And inevitably, the downs last longer and tend to keep us mired in the thick of it, chained to the overwhelm, frustration and feelings of low energy and dis-ease. Today on the show I discuss this and what you can do to get out of it, change the way you show up and eradicate some of the challenges you are facing, and discuss how you might feel when you do so. Do you want to feel better, and experience more joy, grace, ease, flow, and fun? Sound too good to be true?

If you were to write down what constitutes a “good” parent, what would you write? And the same goes for a “bad” parent? What is good and bad anyway?

How can you raise your bar and step into the “good” parent’s shoes? That’s if there is such a thing!
