Listen "Parent Smarter, Not Harder: The Big-Hearted Way"
Episode Synopsis
This week, Dr. Cathryn introduces you to a parenting game-changer: the Big-Hearted Interpretation (BHI).
Ever felt frustrated or overwhelmed by your toddler's tantrums, meltdowns, or seemingly impossible behavior? BHI is a simple but powerful mindset shift that helps you see your child’s toughest moments in a new light—leading to less stress for you and more cooperation from your child.
In this episode, you'll discover:
Exactly what a Big-Hearted Interpretation is and why it matters
Real-life examples to clearly illustrate how to use BHI effectively
How to move from frustration and reaction to calmness and connection
Practical reframes you can use today, like:
Instead of "He’s pushing my buttons," try "He's showing me his needs."
Instead of "She knows better," consider "Her brain is still learning this."
Plus, learn why this compassionate approach not only boosts your child's emotional intelligence and resilience but also strengthens your relationship with them—and yourself!
