Summary

Do you yell at your kids? This week I talked with Mary Van Geffen about being a yeller, how to recover after yelling at my kids, and even how to stay calm in the chaos. If you tend to yell, listen to this episode! Mary Van Geffen is an international parenting coach and parent educator for overwhelmed moms of strong-willed & Spicy Children™. She teaches monthly workshops to help moms gain confidence to choose gentle, respectful parenting especially if they weren’t raised that way. Mary has a ministry on Instagram where she posts an inspiring parenting tip every single day. Just reading her social media will help you delight in your child and remember that you are enough. Mary believes that when a mom realizes how hard she is on herself and cracks the door open for some self-compassion, her entire family is bathed in light! Mary is a certified Simplicity Parenting Counselor® and Professional Co-Active Coach®. Her greatest achievement, however, is cultivating a calm, kind, and firm relationship with her spirited go-getter daughter (17), polar-opposite introverted son (15) and un-Enneagramable hubby.Website: www.maryvangeffen.com for classes Calm: https://www.maryvangeffen.com/calmFirm: https://maryvangeffen.com/firmKind: https://maryvangeffen.com/kindInstagram: @maryvangeffen ________________________________________________________________Did you love this episode?
