I am Dr. Shelly Mahon, your host. And today, you are listening to The Parenting Well Podcast. Today’s well source is Nina Cruz. Nina is a certified Conscious Parent Coach, Social Worker (BSW), and Meditation Teacher who’s made it her mission to support parents through shifting archaic parental paradigms, many of which contribute to increased stress, anxiety, overwhelm, and feelings of disconnection for themselves, their partners, and their children. Her approach to coaching revolves around trauma-informed care that puts others at-ease, providing a safe space for everyone to facilitate their individual healing and growth.

In this episode, we talk about:

• The difference between conscious parenting and parenting from a place of control
• Holding onto a child's essence
• The danger of labels
• Learning to identify your own triggers
• Parenting from consequences vs. punishments
• Working with your child to set boundaries
• Helping your child process emotions 
• Strategies for managing stress and anxiety
• Showing up for your child
• Recognizing negative patterns of behavior and creating positive ones
• Self care and self acceptance
