She helps parents convert upsets into emotional intelligence with simple strategies anyone can learn in a minute and practice over a lifetime to find peace when parenting. She shares the value of listening, giving ‘emotional space’, becoming self-aware and much more! Have a listen.

4:50: A connected parent has a happier relationship.

5:30: Emotional space.

8:35: Listening to yourself, digging down and really thinking.

8:50: Punishment is just more negative results.

9:30: Parents are close to the edge.
