Welcome! My guest today is Nicole Schwarz, who joined me for Episode 39 about helping kids deal with negative self-talk. She is a parent coach, child and family therapist, and the founder of Imperfect Families. All of us parents are in some phase of that back-to-school transition time, so let’s hear Nicole’s thoughts on this subject!
What you’ll hear in this episode:
- The nighttime routine: getting in the mindset of an earlier bedtime
- Essential family routines for back-to-school
- The power of shifting from “but” to “and”
- Urgency is contagious
- The importance of daily jobs for kids
- Why kids NEED to make their own lunch
- Homework: how parents can be supportive and available
- How to support rather than shame
- “The bad-kid cycle”
- How to stick with your kids through emotional blow-ups
- Why you can’t assume the problem OR the solution
