53: Positive Parenting Solutions: Confidently Handling Tantrums, Independence, and Hard Conversations with Amy McCready

Positive Parenting Solutions

Do you ever go to bed feeling like a bad parent? Do you need more positive parenting tips? I get it.

Today we’re talking all things parenting which means that I’m going to do a lot more listening than talking as I let our guest, Amy McCready, take the wheel. 

We’re going to be talking about dealing with tantrums, teaching your kids to be independent, and most importantly, that there’s no such thing as a perfect parent.

Amy was a trainer and senior manager for Fortune 500 companies when she found herself in the throes of parenting toddlers – complete with all of the yelling and temper tantrums you can imagine – and she decided there MUST be a better way.

After years of researching Adlerian Psychology and Positive Discipline, Amy put the knowledge into practice with her own family. Astounded by the transformation she experienced with her two boys, Amy knew she had to share these methods with other parents, so she created the Positive Parenting Solutions Course.

Not only is Amy a trusted teacher by over 75,000 families worldwide, but she is a valued contributor on many media outlets. Amy is a regular parenting contributor on the Today Show, has authored two best-selling books, and she has written and appeared on a plethora of other media outlets.

In Today’s Episode We Discuss: 

  • Why there is no such thing as a perfect parent 
  • How to deal with tantrums 
  • What causes our kids to push back 
  • What undue attention is and why it’s significant 
  • Giving your kids more responsibility 
  • How to communicate without yelling 
  • Using when/then routines 
  • Finding work-life balance as a parent 
  • Using mind, body, and soul time
