Ep #174 The 3x5 Card That Will Save Your Sanity as a Mom I Riffing On My Book (8)
This episode is all about a pretty darn useful parenting tool I ever made, a 3x5 index card I kept in my back pocket. Not figuratively. Literally.
It had my plan on it. My plan for when things went sideways. For when I was about to yell. For when I wanted to give up or threaten or bribe or storm off.
I call it the Get Ready for Anything Plan.
In this episode, I walk you through how to make one. I’ll show you how to prep for the hardest moments in your parenting life before they happen, so you’re not relying on willpower in the heat of the moment.
You’ll learn:
- What a Get Ready for Anything Plan is and why it works
- How to break down your top 3 triggering situations
- How to respond based on your nervous system’s actual capacity
- What to do when your kids push back hard
- How to lead with connection and still hold the line
This is hands-on. You’re invited to pause the episode and do the work with me as you listen.
We also get into something most parents worry about:
If I don’t give a consequence, am I just letting them off the hook?
I share exactly how I think about that, and how not punishing your child can actually increase your influence, not weaken it.
If you’ve ever walked away from an interaction with your kid thinking, “That is not how I wanted to handle that,” this is for you.
