| 30 Mar 2020 | RESIST Q&A // Sibling conflict // support self awareness, self-regulation + non-violent communication through parenting + discipline | 00:52:44 | |
Referee. Hall monitor. Manner police. Supporting our kids through their challenges together can feel like we’re wearing a bunch of crazy-ass hats, and their constant antics push us to yell, threaten, judge and issue consequences. Join us this week to explore a few common moments of sibling conflict that drive us all bonkers -- a toddler hitting the new baby, a 4 yr old fighting with their smaller sib and 8 yr old twins verbally abusing one another!

| 20 Apr 2020 | PARENTING IN CAPTIVITY // 10 ways to build solid patterns // spring break episode | 00:52:17 | |
When we feel like we're living our own horrifying version of the movie Groundhog Day, it makes dealing with kids big feelings and challenging behaviors pretty torturous. How can we channel the Phil Connors from the last several minutes of the movie, who can lean in and engage with his "new normal" with curiosity, generosity, patience, humor and joy? Today we explore 10 ways we’re working to do just that. The hard stuff is the good stuff. We laugh, we cry, we lean in… join us!

| 10 Sep 2022 | LIVE Q&A SERIES // How do our kids learn best -- connection or control? | 00:27:34 | |
Should we believe that using consequences, threats, shame, isolation etc. is the best way to teach + prepare kids for adulthood? NO! Today’s Q&A explores how we can bravely work to believe that our kids grow best from our CONNECTION, not our CONTROL. Though our instinct tells us to fix, stop or punish their big feelings + challenging behaviors, practicing powers beyond control with our kids creates a sense of security for them that allows their brains to learn + our relationship to flourish. Can we do this everyday and every moment? No way– this is the ongoing practice and the process of growing up alongside our kids. Why? How? Tune in and download our new free download on the site! Where do you struggle when it comes to this radical concept? If you’re looking for more research-informed reframes and mantras, download our new free guide for ALL of Upbringing’s Keys to Show Up + Grow Up with your sensitive + strong-willed kids!

| 13 Jul 2020 | RESIST Q&A // My kid is intensely rude to us all | 00:35:06 | |
Today we hear from a parent whose daughter has been intensely rude to her, her mother and her new partner. We explore ways to look beneath behaviors, connect instead of correct, run the RESIST Approach in the moment, and build skills and connection together as a family. When we can help our kids attune to themselves, we are breaking cycles of cultural conditioning that don’t serve our child, our family or our world. We laugh, we cry, we lean in… join us! Today’s episode shoutout is Good Ancestor podcast, hosted by globally respected speaker, anti-racism educator and NYT bestselling author of Me And White Supremacy, Layla Saad. Her interview series with change-makers and culture-shifters explores what it means to be a good ancestor. We loved her recent episode with Candace Braithwaite of Make Motherhood Diverse, Episode 23 with Kimberly Seals Allers on Birth Without Bias and Episode 14 with The Conscious Kid, discussing parenting through a critical race lens.

| 09 Nov 2020 | GUEST SERIES // H+K on The Fresh Start Family Show - Support Sibling Conflict with Integrity | 01:08:28 | |
Before launching this next season, we wanted to highlight a handful of favorite podcasts we’ve been guests on recently. We speak with some amazing folks about Upbringing, our mission and approach in practicing powers beyond control when it comes to daily discipline with our kids! The Fresh Start Family show is hosted by husband and wife team Terry and Wendy Snyder, parenting educators and coaches. A Positive Parenting community, Fresh Start Family tackles a range of topics that bring reality, hope, and a path to more peace in the home and world. We loved chatting with Wendy about all things SIBLING CONFLICT! We flip a few limiting beliefs we hold about sibling challenges (and the concept of mistakes in general) and discuss how choosing to approach conflict, our role and our goal with fresh eyes can help kids learn and grow adaptively. We also unpack and walk through some specific ways we can avoid creating cycles of victim and aggressor as we slowly but surely build kids’ awareness of themselves and one another through a challenge. Fun stuff! We hope you enjoy our conversation with Fresh Start Family as much as we did!

Today we hear from a parent who is exhausted from navigating the persistent frustrations, anger and big feelings of her spirited daughter. She worries about the possibility of her daughter ALWAYS being like this, as well as the impact of her big outbursts on the wellbeing and behavior of her younger brother. We explore temperaments, stress, kids’ brains, boundaries, empathy, acceptance and why OUR BELIEFS ARE EVERYTHING. We also chat ways to lean in to our kids’ big feelings, rudeness, harsh words, anger and frustration with bravery, boundaries, empathy and the understanding that IT’S ALL GOOD. We laugh, we cry, we lean in… join us! Today’s episode shoutout is The Parenting Decolonized podcast, which shines a light on how colonization has impacted the Black family structure and explores ways to use conscious parenting as activism against white supremacy. Host and conscious parenting coach Yolanda Wiliams and her guests discuss how to raise liberated Black children without breaking their spirits.

| 27 Oct 2020 | GUEST SERIES // H+K on Your Parenting Mojo Podcast - Align values as a parent + person | 00:46:46 | |
Before launching this next season, we wanted to highlight a handful of favorite podcasts we’ve been guests on recently. We speak with some amazing folks about Upbringing, our mission and approach in practicing powers beyond control when it comes to daily discipline with our kids! This week, we’re sharing our interview with Jen Lumanlan on the Your Parenting Mojo Podcast. We discuss how we grew to identify as feminists through our parenthood and the experiences we had that helped us reckon with the power + privilege we held over our toddlers. We also unpack and walk through some specific ways we can take back our parenting practices from our cultural conditioning-- from exhaustive tooth brushing resistance to fears of uncomfortable conversations-- challenging moments that give us the opportunity to align our values as people with our practices as parents. Fun stuff! It was a dream come true to chat with Jen about our unconscious hypocrisy as progressive parents, and how finding alignment can prevent us from undermining the very skills and values we hope to promote in our kids! Your Parenting Mojo is a top-rated podcast and parenting community led by Jen Lumanlan, (M.S., M.Ed.). Jen was the first parenting resource we found as new mothers that examined the scientific research related to child development through the lens of respectful parenting. We hope you enjoy our conversation on Your Parenting Mojo as much as we did! Head on over to YourParentingMojo.com to learn more about Jen and her amazing podcast, membership community and more.

| 01 Mar 2019 | EMPOWERMENT: The Power of Circling Back | 00:35:50 | |
Today we explore the power of circling back- how re-approaching a challenge with our kids AFTER the fact can magically prevent recurrence, improve how we ALL feel and nurture our growing relationship. We discuss ways we use circling back as a powerful tool- an opportunity to debrief, apologize, reflect, problem solve, learn and understand one another better. We have the power!

Today we hear from two parents whose partners are not taking on as much of the learning around kids’ development + brains, respectful parenting and positive discipline solutions as they are themselves. They struggle, like so many of us, to find a way to bring their partners and other caregivers into the work of growing up alongside their kids as well as finding the words to articulate those differences. We explore ways to lean in to these caregiver clashes (as well as conflicts with our children) so we can all be on the same page - open, honest, vulnerable and growing - in these difficult times! We laugh, we cry, we lean in… join us! Today’s episode shoutout is Akilah Richards, host of the Fare of the Free Child podcast -- a lifestyle and parenting podcast about the connection between liberation, learning, and parenting-- particularly among BIPOC communities. Parents, educators, unschoolers and entrepreneurs tune in weekly to connect about unschooling, deschooling, conscious parenting, and self-directedness. Discussions center emotional wellness, learning, parenting, self-care, and self-love. Her highly-anticipated book, Raising Free People: Unschooling as Liberation and Healing Work (from PM Press), will be released this fall.

| 22 Feb 2019 | EMPOWERMENT: The Power of Tone | 00:44:11 | |
Today we explore the power of tone- how the voice we use can either elevate or escalate a tough situation with our kids, not to mention influence how we all feel about one another. We chat ways we’re trying to use tone as a tool- an attitude adjuster and magical scene-setter when the shit hits the fan. We have the power!

Today we’re back as we explore our kids’ FREEDOM TO SPEAK! Does your kid struggle to speak respectfully? To lean into ‘manners’? To respond when questioned? Hang on as we radically grant our kids the right to speak (gasp) in whatever way comes out naturally. So what’s OUR job during this verbal shitstorm? We explore ways to align our values with our day-to-day interactions. To model our asses off. To interact sensitively to avoid power struggles. To give agency, scaffold skills, and trust in the long game. We swear it's easier than censoring or prompting. Each of these difficult interactions can be a chance for us BOTH to build skills, stay connected, and grow as people and family. Join us to explore our expectations and beliefs around wordplay as we unpack three strategies to sensitively support this critical freedom in our kids. We laugh, we cry, we lean in!

| 05 Apr 2022 | GUEST SERIES // H+K on The 3 in 30 Podcast - 3 tools to support sibs with a new baby | 00:28:13 | |
We loved connecting with Rachel of the 3 in 30 podcast about supporting our older siblings when a new baby comes into the family!
They said this to me and it resonated so deeply that I just had to write it down. Kelty said: “I thought [adding another baby] would mean more love, more snuggles, more squidgy little feet, more laughter, more connection. And it definitely did add all of that! But I didn't realize all the other more things that would happen. More crying, more anxiety, more stress, more messes, more juggling, and more divide and conquer existence with my partner…” Doesn't that sound about right? Adding a new baby to your family, whether it's your first baby or your fifth, always comes with a lot of emotions and change--all the highs and lows! And that is why today's guests Hannah and Kelty are so passionate about helping families to ease this transition and why they have created an online course called Right From the Start, which supports parents during the first year of a baby's life. Our Right From The Start baby video course and community is now OPEN for enrollment! The course will bring you both the reassurance AND information you need in your baby’s first year to make the decisions that are uniquely right for your family. ✨ No prescribed rules, no perfection to attain… Just the essentials to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
✔️ Understand what scientific research says about baby’s sleep, attachment, feeding, play and other essential topics Not just focused on quick fixes for daily challenges, this course will help you lay the critical groundwork for a lifelong relationship with your child based in trust, collaboration and respect. ✨ If you’re expecting or are the parent of a child under 1, the Right from the Start course is for you.

Today we’re back as we explore our kids’ FREEDOM TO PLAY! Does your child struggle with independent play? Do YOU struggle with the sometimes crazy, messy and worrisome aspects of their playtime? This week, we explore why PLAY is being proven to be a gift -- an opportunity for development of self-esteem, socialization, autonomy, creativity and confidence for our kids. How can we balance our responsibility to keep our kids happy and connected to us while ALSO nurturing independent play skills? Dig in with us for a deeper understanding of how kids learn best and why what interests them as a unique individuals matters when it comes to developing their brains and hearts! Freedom to play trusts that kids can and should take the lead in these realms of growth and exploration through play with our supportive presence.

Today we’re back as we explore our kids’ FREEDOM TO FEEL! Does your kid struggle with big feelings? Do YOU struggle with their big feelings, not to mention your own? This week we explore how BIG FEELINGS are a gift-- an opportunity to nurture our nervous systems, build emotional intelligence and maintain our connection through it all. How can we sensitively support our kids’ big feelings when we ourselves can hardly keep it together? Dig in with us for a deeper understanding of why meltdowns happen, what we can do to support ourselves as well as our kids, and why it’s so critical that we attempt this. This episode is about WHY and HOW we can be responding to our kids big feelings instead of reacting to them. It’s about taking a HUGE shitty long list of work off our plate and swapping it for two things: bravery and effort. We’ll be exploring ways we can align our day-today struggles during kids big feelings with our true goals for their future and ideals for our best selves, too. We’ll look at how big feelings are a chance for us BOTH to build skills, stay connected, and grow as people and family. And as we confront our conditioning, set goals to break harmful cycles and HEAL we will be, in moments of big feelings, putting our energy where it should be - in loving ourselves and our kids. We laugh, we cry, we lean in. Join us! Mental Mantras we explore:

| 14 Oct 2019 | TWINTALK: We Love Without Condition / Empowerment | 01:06:23 | |
Today on the podcast we explore how to separate our kids’ challenging behaviors from their value as human beings.

This episode is all about challenging our beliefs to change our thoughts, behaviors and subsequent interactions with the infuriating, inspiring children in our lives. We talk about power, love, habits, boundaries and communication. We talk about rage, vulnerability, learning and identity. We laugh, we cry, we lean in. Join us!

| 02 Dec 2019 | CONVO: Alexa Wilding, writer & cancer mom // twins, trauma & silver linings | 01:00:39 | |
Today we have the honor to connect with the unwillingly enlightened, temporarily brilliant, alchemical cancer mom Alexa Wilding. She is a musician, writer and mother of 7 year old sons West and Lou, who was recently diagnosed with cancer for the second time. This is a special episode in so many ways -- and represents more than just Alexa’s family story. Her words weave a golden thread, a magical life-line that connects us to what matters most in life and how we can all be united by it. It is also a rare view into the prismatic, internal life of a woman ascending -- and the wise and poetic lessons she’s learned along the way. In listening to Alexa’s story, we are awakened... Better able to lean in bravely to the scary plot twists of our own lives AND to leave our fear and egos behind as we care for others who are suffering. Join us to hear her candid, humorous and magical lessons about surrender, patience, true love, silver linings, loneliness, past selves, perspective, clarity, dignity, and acceptance. We laugh, we cry, we lean in.

| 02 Nov 2020 | GUEST SERIES // H+K on The Balanced Parent Podcast - Step into your power as a parent | 00:40:40 | |
Before launching this next season, we wanted to highlight a handful of favorite podcasts we’ve been guests on recently. We speak with some amazing folks about Upbringing, our mission and approach in practicing powers beyond control when it comes to daily discipline with our kids! The Balanced Parent is a top-rated podcast hosted by Dr. Laura Froyen that offers practical tools and mindset shifts to help parents get clear on the goals and values that will help them show up with open-hearted authenticity and balance. We loved chatting with Laura about the value of kids’ daily resistance and how we can examine and reapproach our power as parents to best support it. We discuss the power of connection, especially in the hardest moments with our kids. We explore the position we hold as the authority figure at home, and how we can show up more mindfully and democratically with our kids to teach them how power can be used responsibly. We also unpack and walk through some specific questions listeners sent in-- a parents’ struggle to accept her kids’ current skills, as well as a child whose meltdowns are really challenging for their parent to support. We hope you enjoy our conversation on The Balanced Parent as much as we did! Head on over to LauraFroyen.com to learn more, and check out our shownotes to get more details on our conversation.

| 15 Jun 2020 | RAISING REBELS PODCAST // Noleca Radway "I Brought You Into This World..." | 00:54:14 | |
Today we share a pre-existing episode of one of our favorite podcasts: Raising Rebels, hosted by Noleca Radway, Episode 3: "I brought you into this world...", posted on June 20, 2019. Raising Rebels is a podcast about oppressed parents raising free children, featuring courageous conversations with real parents who are encouraging their children to be fully themselves in a society that doesn’t always celebrate them. In this episode, Noleca speaks with her three daughters, Glory, Moxie and Blu about their experiences of her evolving discipline as their mother. Noleca is also joined by her friend Jade Verette and her partner and fellow educator Tristan Verette. The three parents discuss how they experienced discipline as kids, what informed their parents’ methods, and how they’re intentionally engaging with it now as parents. Raising Rebels tackles everything from sexuality and race, to co-parenting and money, all with the goal of liberating children. We imagine that Raising Rebels will resonate as much as it educates, and we hope that featuring Noleca’s work here will also encourage you to expand and diversify your own podcast queues around parenting and motherhood… sharing Raising Rebels and others you follow with your communities. We’re excited to chat with host Noleca Radway in an upcoming podcast season when we resume our conversations with artists, activists, writers and beyond. In the meantime, our goal today is to center Noleca’s brilliant work and encourage you to follow, listen, learn and support her podcast. Relevant Links WEBSITE- www.raisingrebelspod.com | |||

Today we connect with Darcy Lockman, clinical psychologist and author of All The Rage, a book that explores how egalitarian relationships become traditional ones when children are introduced to the household. We loved connecting with Darcy about the mother load, the myth of maternal instinct, why we struggle with relationship expectations, the complications of socialization vs biology, and how we can best raise children of any gender to be both communal helpers and independent doers.

| 02 Mar 2020 | FREE TO NOURISH // Support body attunement + healthy value-building through discipline + parenting | 00:29:50 | |
Today we’re back as we explore our kids’ FREEDOM TO NOURISH. Struggles with bedtime, mealtime, hygiene, diapers and beyond can lead us to over-control and undermine our kids’ sacred somatic intuition -- a connection to their own bodies. How can we balance our responsibility to keep them clean, fed, rested and happy while ALSO finding ways that they can become better aware of and connected to the processes themselves? Freedom to nourish trusts that kids can and should take the lead in these realms of nourishing self-care rituals with our supportive presence. We talk about WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE, flip some unhelpful / culturally conditioned beliefs and explore all the ways we’re endeavoring to parent beyond instinct and conventional wisdom -- with awareness, authenticity and alignment. We laugh, we cry, we lean in. Join us!

| 08 Jul 2019 | TWINTALK: We Play in the Gray / Empowerment | 00:57:35 | |
Today on the podcast we explore the mindset tool we call playing in the gray. We discuss the practice of accepting the as-is, embracing the middle way, and sitting in discomfort long enough to learn from it. Playing in the gray is all about flexible thinking, courage, curiosity and trust…. ultimately a giant improv comedy sketch and an opportunity to create some magic from the mayhem. We laugh, we cry, we lean in. Join us! Relevant links:

Tune in for our interview with Michelle of The Peace and Parenting podcast (https://pca.st/CkuZBG) Subscribe and follow to find out how to come to parenting through the lens of connection and cooperation as she navigates through a parenting topic each week. Michelle is a mother of two girls, as well as a former teacher and counselor turned Certified Parenting Instructor. In today's episode, Michelle has us on to discuss a new approach to connecting with our kids, so we can raise young adults that have a stronger sense of self and a more stable approach to life. We explore why we believe that by choosing to connect with our kids instead of controlling them, it can result in a relationship that positively reinforces self-discipline and accomplishing tasks for themselves-- instead of them simply following our words.
