Love is an action. Love is the words we use (or don't use). Loving our family is a choice we get to make each and everyday! Sometimes we forget what love looks like in our parenting. Sometimes, we were never taught how to parent from love. Sometimes we need to love ourselves more so we can show love to our families. Where ever you are today, for whatever the reason you are there, there is always a way to bring in more love to your family! Let's find the way to do it together, one small step at a time!
This podcast is individual conversations between Dr. Marcie and parents. Sometimes it is one parent and sometimes it is a couple. Parents share what is great about their family and what is challenging. Together with Dr. Marcie they problem solve new ways to move through difficult moments, new perspectives to understand what is unfolding in their homes, and new possibilities to build joy in their families.
Dr. Marcie believes small steps lead to big changes, so each episode ends with the parents sharing their the one small step they are committed to taking. The one nugget from the conversation that inspired them the most. You are encouraged to share your one take away in the comments.
Blue skies are ahead and we are going to get their together!

Communication as a Parent - The importance of saying ALL the things
About this Episode
JoAnna has an awesome family that is comprised of her husband Fan and their three wild children. Her oldest, G is 7 years old. Her middle, E is 5 years old. Her youngest, B is 21 months old. We are using initials for the podcast, they have full names in other places in their lives :)
JoAnna also shares lots of her parenting and educational perspective on her channel @positively_parenting on Instagram. Go check her out!
Go To Glitter
In the summer, the family favorite is swimming. Playing in the water is something everyone can enjoy, even though her husband does not generally love being outside. Water allows for a fresh start, reset during the day. In winter she will throw her youngest in the tub and bring them all into the shower together, with bubbles and coloring to make it even more fun. Even playing in the snow is part of what the family enjoys or is learning to enjoy!
Dr. Marcie's Must Make Moves
This is the first time you are doing this, each of you (as a parent and for your children). Remember you are learning, so there will be bumps in the road.
1. Being in relationships does not mean always getting along. It is about teaching them to have compassionate conflict and to communicate their needs. Communicating needs can look likes using the words "I feel..." and "I love you and I need ... right now" or "Not now, we can play later when...". So that everyone can get their needs met with specific communication.
2. Modeling is not enough for your kids to learn skills. You need to model and teach them. Say in clear and direct language what you need from them, what you are doing that is supporting them, and how they can use these same tools to support each other. Give them a script and context to use the tools themselves.
3. Emotional regulation - when you are having a hard day, say it and enroll them in supporting you more proactively. Then model what it takes to stay in the emotional transparent conversation as the day unfolds.
Golden Nugget
The golden nugget for JoAnna is clear, concise communication. Being clear of with expectations and boundaries. It can be for everything! Being clear about interactions and what you would like to see/expect and our own thoughts. Be clear and explicit will fix so many things! Such a universal tool for so many relationships!
