Episode Synopsis

What if your child isn’t the problem—and neither are you?In this episode, parenting coach Kristin Schmoke shares how she shifted from traditional discipline tactics to a more connected, collaborative approach that transformed her relationship with her son. We talk about ego-centric parenting, mom guilt, why behavior charts can backfire, and how real change begins when we stop trying to fix our kids and start getting curious instead. If parenting feels like a power struggle, this episode will give you hope, perspective, and practical tools to reconnect.Resources + Links:✨ Kristin’s website✨ Instagram: @kristin.schmoke.parenting✨ Listen Up! – Kristin’s online parenting course: Listen Up!
