Join us as we interview Mell from the Strong Family Co all about their 7 Elements of the Strong Family Path. We zone into a couple of the 7 elements with Mell and can't wait for you to listen and hear all about them!
Joe & Mell have been married for 16 years and are raising 3 boys, ages 5, 11 and 13. Joe was a teacher turned entrepreneur who realized he was spending more time on his work than on his family life. Mell was a social worker turned stay at home mom. In 2020, they decided to move 2000 miles from home to a place better aligned with their family values in order to refocus on the most important organization in their lives: family!
It was an inspiring conversation and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Join Elisa and Pam with special guest Jennifer Taun RSW, MSW for this week's episode on parenting through our values vs through fears. What guides our parenting? Are we managing situations the way we want to be with our children? Are we parenting and reacting out of fear of what this behaviour may bring in the future?
Parenting out of fear can sometimes trigger us and create a situation where we over react. It happens.. but what can we do so it doesn't happen as often, how do come back from with our children? Most importantly, how do we parent in the present through our values and what we want to extend to our children vs through fear of the future and the what if's?

One of the biggest questions that we get when it comes to the transition into childcare is...Do I have to Sleep Coach before my baby begins?
This can cause a lot of extra stress and anxiety for parents if they do not want to do this. Having an open discussion with your childcare provider is the first step to find out what they suggest and what they will be doing in care to teach independent sleep. (Which methods they will use.) You can then decide if you would like to help your child learn this skill beforehand. In this podcast, we chat about your options and some of our experiences in the childcare field.
If you are ready for sleep coaching and don't want to tackle it on your own, we are here! We have a few different programs to help you teach this skill with confidence and consistency. You need to find a method that you are most comfortable and that is exactly what we help with!

Has your baby recently learned how to roll onto their stomach while they sleep? This can bring much anxiety to a lot of parents. Is it safe? Do I need to go back and roll them over again? These are some questions we answer in this podcast.
Along with this new developmental milestone may come a baby who is rolling onto their stomach and waking up crying because they get stuck. We also go over how you can help them through this phase, help them feel confident with rolling while not creating new expectations for them.
