I have fathered 8 children with my first wife. Absorbed 6 more with my second wife and 2 more with my current wife. I was raised in an abusive home and vowed to myself and whoever would listen that I would not be unkind to my children.   I was entering a new field of something I knew nothing about... effective parenting.  I had to learn quickly what works and what didn't work.  Chore charts worked great.   When they want to be beside you all the time, incorporate them into the activity, regardless of how busy you are.  They just want to be included.  Love is more powerful than anything.   Teach them to build trust and don't violate the trust.  If there are errors or mistakes along the way, emphasize the good rather than the error.  If you want good to grow, nourish it.   If you want their bad habits or actions to grow, pay attention to them and focus on that.  Let your garden grow. MORE ABOUT:  I am an international bestselling author of Role of Love. Merchant services is my current profession. I have

SPECIAL RELEASE LOCAL EPISODE! Grew up in a home with an alcoholic mom who I KNOW loved me but because of the circumstances, I was forced into unhealthy coping mechanisms (people pleasing, magical "empath" qualities, constantly questioning my inner voice and compass) One day I realized I was communicating with my kids the way she communicated with me...not healthy communication patterns AT ALL I realized I was parenting with the unwritten generational parenting handbook that my ancestors passed down to me without me even knowing it. Although I swore I wouldn’t be my mom, I did in fact, become my mother.  Started researching and learning about different ways to parent, friends and family sought parenting advice and guidance so I decided to look into becoming a coach Changing the way I parent has completely transformed the bond I have with my kids and it started with ME!  ABOUT CANDICE: I own Parents of Presence and I am a parent coach.  I provide support for parents who simply want

I struggled to get pregnant for 3 years until I was able to conceive and give birth to my daughter naturally at the age of 40. That's why as a fertility coach I'm passionate about supporting other women to boost their fertility so that they can have the baby of their dreams.  My coaching practice works around the 5 pillars of health that impact your fertility: nutrition, exercise and movement, sleep optimization, environmental chemicals, and the mind-body connection as it relates to stress resilience.   My unique skillset as a coach, yoga instructor, and energy medicine practitioner gives my clients the tools they need to regulate their nervous system so that they can switch out of fight or flight mode into rest and digest so that their body is ready to pro-create.   Are you an entrepreneur?

I'm a first-time mom of a little boy, who is 18 months old. My experience with healthcare during pregnancy and postpartum was not positive. I was always left wanting more information about health and fitness.  I ended up having a cesarean and never once saw my Doctor in the hospital. No education on healing, getting out of bed or caring for an infant with a new abdominal wound.  I'm fortunate to have my education in Physical Therapy. I cannot imagine how moms feel in my similar situation who don't have the knowledge to help themselves.  Having babies and parenting is hard. It takes a village as the adage, but some peoples' villages suck. I want to help if I can.  I chose to start my own business to combat some of the norms in America. Like needing to choose a career or family. I want to choose both. And provide a service that is friendly to moms. Not only a service that is needed or is lacking in today's healthcare, but try to eliminate barriers such as needing childcare to

-- I had my babies in my late 40s and 50s after a miscarriage of triplets and a long fertility journey. -- I was adopted and didn't know until I was in my 30s.  There's a very interesting story about that, which I wrote on Medium at: https://medium.com/@sohnkat/the-chosen-baby-612a8f36f0cf.

My husband and I have a blended family.  A daughter each from previous marriages, 1 biological daughter, and 3 adopted boys.  We experienced a parent's biggest fear when we witnessed the accident that took our oldest daughter's life. We had to learn to parent to our grieving kids, while also grieving ourselves.  My book Victorious Heart details our story and offers helpful encouragement to others who are walking in grief.  IN HER WORDS: My name is Kim Peacock.  God has rescued me from myself more times than I can count, and I'm so thankful for His infinite grace and mercy in my life. My husband Larry and I have six amazingly, unique kids who have brought beautiful color to our lives.  Some of those kids are now gifting us with grandkids, who have us completely wrapped around their little fingers.  In 1998 our oldest daughter Nicole was killed in a tragic off-roading accident. When Nicole went to Heaven, darkness invaded our world, and we wondered if our family would survive the crushing pain of gr

I have three wonderful productive and kind young adult kids and raised them amidst a very contentious divorce where I got sole custody "pro se". I am not an attorney. I love being a dad I have over 30 years of experience in the technical staffing space as an owner/operator. I have generated over $75 million in revenue and have created 4 millionaires that I am aware of.  I built and sold 2 multimillion-dollar companies and have hired and trained hundreds of salespeople and recruiters. I found work for all three of my young adult children out of school and then helped them all start their own companies online.  I got sole custody of my 3 children representing myself in my divorce (I am not an attorney).  More recently I have transitioned into coaching in the career transition field. I am transparent about my wins and losses and all the struggles in between.  FIND HIM HERE: https://www.7pillarsglobal.com/about-me  https://www.7pillarsglobal.com  https://www.linkedin.com/in/aylwardmark/  https://www.quo

He is Professor of Pediatrics (Emeritus). Dr. Bob Saul developed the Parental Awareness Threshold, a simple framework that guides parents and guardians to actively parent with self-awareness, empathy, and compassion. Parents who use this framework create a healthy environment where

Bronwyn is a psychotherapist, public speaker, podcaster, and parenting expert.    She went from not wanting kids to believing in an idealized parenting relationship that (of course) didn’t go to plan. At age 5 she emotionally abandoned her daughter, due to a 10-year bout with depression although she was going through the process of becoming a therapist. Her daughter is now an adult and they’re continuing to learn to have a positive relationship.  Angry at the Right Things podcast:  https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-3xcf8-13b6aff Anger, like fire, can burn down a house if out of control. Suppressed anger makes us sick – and it leaks out in ways that hurt the people who least deserve it. But fire can also purify and refine. Join licensed marriage and family therapist Bronwyn Schweigardt in a conversation about healthy ways to harness our anger for good.

28 years ago our first daughter was born. Gwendolyn has Down syndrome and has taken us on a wonderful journey. We struggled at times and now celebrate her independence journey which has culminated in continuing education beyond high school, work, independent housing, and self-advocacy. Most parents find independence for those with Down syndrome and other intellectual disabilities to be an overwhelming mystery.  My website (www.BeyondDownSyndrome.net) and book 'The Essential Guide for Families with Down Syndrome' provide guidance and resources so families can navigate the opportunities and challenges toward success.  This generation is the first that will outlive their parents/caregivers. This invites great opportunities and many challenges including health, financial, and housing. Regardless of your child's age, the time is now to build an independence plan to achieve your family's goals.  After 30 years in corporate America, I'm now an author seeking to share experience and guidance to se
