Positive Discipline: Reparenting your Inner Child & Focusing on your Strengths - with Kristen Ancker

Power struggles, sibling fighting, constant chaos…solemn nods of solidarity from the parents in the house, right? Kristen feels our collective pain, and as a parent empowerment coach, encouragement consultant, ex-Montessori teacher and director and certified facilitator of Positive Discipline, she’s here to help. While on paper she’s “got it all” as a would-be know-it-all mom, her journey wasn’t always easy transitioning from a teacher to a parent herself. Today on THRIVE, Kristen realistically explains “positive discipline” and breaks down best practices based on the latest in neuroscience and child development (and her on the job training as a mom of three). We also talk about reparenting your own inner child - especially if your upbringing involved a different parenting style than you’re personally implementing today. Kristen helps us focus on your own strengths while figuring this whole mom thing out as you go, with tips on proactively parenting instead of constantly feeling like you’re just reacting to little people with big feelings. ;) Walk away from today’s episode feeling encouraged and empowered as the awesome parent you are!   CONNECT WITH KRISTEN Instagram Website The Empowered Parent Facebook group   THANKYOU to DIME Beauty for sponsoring this THRIVE podcast!
