SYPM 003: Responding Mindfully with Seanna Mallon

Today we talk with listener Seanna Mallon about her struggles to be mindful when responding to her two spirited young sons (and I can confirm from direct experience that they are indeed spirited – we actually had to re-record the episode after we simply couldn’t continue the first interview due to her children’s continual interruptions!). I share some basic tools for staying calm in difficult moments; for a deeper dive on this topic, do join the Tame Your Triggers workshop! https://yourparentingmojo.com/tameyourtriggers/ (Click here to join the Tame Your Triggers workshop) Also, I wanted to let you know that the Finding Your Parenting Mojo membership (which hasn’t been open to new members since October 2018 and likely won’t reopen for at least six months) is now accepting new members! If you love the ideas you hear about in the podcast but struggle to apply them in your real life with your real family, then this group is for you. We start by reducing the incidence of tantrums at your house, and once we’ve created a bit of breathing room for you we take a step back and get super clear on your parenting goals. Then we learn how to Parent as a Team by getting on the same page with your co-parent on the topics that are really important – and learning when to just ‘let it go.’ https://yourparentingmojo.com/membership/ (Click here to learn more about the Finding Your Parenting Mojo membership) I’m looking forward to meeting you in the group! https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fyourparentingmojo.com%2Fseannamallon%2Fandlinkname=SYPM%20003%3A%20Responding%20Mindfully%20with%20Seanna%20Mallon ()https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/twitter?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fyourparentingmojo.com%2Fseannamallon%2Fandlinkname=SYPM%20003%3A%20Responding%20Mindfully%20with%20Seanna%20Mallon ()https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/pinterest?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fyourparentingmojo.com%2Fseannamallon%2Fandlinkname=SYPM%20003%3A%20Responding%20Mindfully%20with%20Seanna%20Mallon ()https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/email?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fyourparentingmojo.com%2Fseannamallon%2Fandlinkname=SYPM%20003%3A%20Responding%20Mindfully%20with%20Seanna%20Mallon ()

Now she has a toddler and finds a whole new set of tools are needed, there are hundreds of books to read, and academic research to uncover that would otherwise never see the light of day. Join her on her journey to get a Masters in Psychology focusing on Child Development, as she researches topics of interest to parents of toddlers and preschoolers from all angles, and suggests tools parents can use to help kids thrive - and make their own lives a bit easier in the process.
