The Masterful Parenting Podcast - Heal Your Childhood and Parent Better Through Relational Parenting
Do you struggle in your parenting because of childhood pain? Do you sometimes repeat old patterns from your childhood? You want to be a better parent, but you don’t know how. I understand, parents. I came from dysfunction, trauma, and abuse. I didn’t know what was healthy. Over the years, as a school counsellor, and mom of two, I learned what is healthy and how to be healthy with my own children. There’s a better way to parent where you feel good and so do your children. This way can replace the old patterns so you can nurture healthy relationships with your kids. This is relational parenting. This is what I teach parents. Hi, I’m Anne Alvares, Parent Coach of the Masterful Parenting Program. In this 9 week program, I will help you to heal, gain confidence in your parenting and foster healthy relationships with your kids. You will learn how to become more self-aware, how to connect better, and ways to communicate that touches your child’s heart. I have helped many parents over the years as a high school counsellor and teacher and I am also the mother of two boys, age 23 and 13. I understand the challenges of parenting and have gained the skills to help keep peace and build relationship with your kids. And I can help you too. If you want to feel confident about your parenting, less tired, more connected, and more appreciated by your kids, then you are in the right place. Join me in my Masterful Parenting Podcast. I truly believe parents can feel empowered in their role and we can change the world one parent at a time.

Internal Messages That Affect Our Parenting for School of Human Kind
This is Episode 81 on the Masterful Parenting Podcast which will air TODAY.
When we come from childhood pain, we internalize messages about our childhood experiences. These messages get carried into our adult lives until we get healing.
As parents, we also tell ourselves stories about our children. Sometimes these stories can have a negative impact on our kids and limit them in their lives. We can learn how to change these stories and the words we use to help them grow into their uniqueness and gain confidence in themselves.
Let me show you how to begin healing and change your stories about your kids.
******************************************************************************
For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Anne Alvares. I came from childhood pain. I suffered abuse, controlling parents, and was parentified. My healing journey began almost 30 years ago when I first told my story. When I became a mother, I was determined to heal and not repeat the patterns of my childhood in my own parenting with my children.
Now, I teach parents how to foster healthy relationships with their kids. When we uncover our childhood story and become aware of our triggers, we can begin to heal and change. When we do this, our children thrive and we can feel good about our parenting.
Let me help you to heal and to change.

During those years she sponsored annual conferences with nationally known ADHD experts with over 350 attending. She hosted yearly workshops for teachers with over 35 attending and earning credits. She presented at conferences herself. She has written over 10 blog posts for ADDitude, the nation’s leading source for information about ADHD, and 5 articles for CHADD’s Attention magazine, a source for practical and evidence-based information about ADHD. In 2023 her award-winning book Living with Inattentive ADHD was published, and the following year it became available as an audiobook. She continues to educate herself about ADHD.

Do you still use punishment to get your teenager to comply? Do you take things away, ground them, or demand they change or else?
Let me give you some insights as to what punishment actually does to our kids.
With the thousands of conversations I have had with teens over the last 16 years, I know what punishment and unhealthy behaviour does. It damages them.
I will give you another way, a healthier way, to get compliance. This way does not damage. This way boosts our teen's self esteem.
Listen in to Episode 74 on the Masterful Parenting Podcast as I unveil all the secrets to getting our kids on board with us.
Airs tomorrow.

Ivan Hardcastle. Occupational Therapist and Parent Coach.
I began my professional life as an occupational therapist in Twin Falls helping children with special needs to thrive. As a therapist, I have helped children who struggle with emotional regulation, autism, sensory integration and processing dysfunction, dyslexia, toileting accidents, and a wide variety of additional challenges.
In 2024, I expanded my reach and began helping parents of children with behavioral challenges thrive through coaching for emotional and sensory skills to use in the home... (more below)
I continue to affect lives through coaching and presenting to varied parent and professional groups throughout the world. My parent coaching expands my ability to give families the tools to help children succeed and thrive in their own home!
Together with my wife, I have raised five neurodivergent children.

Masterful Parenting
Does the pain from your childhood get in the way of you becoming the parent you want to be? Do you get triggered by what your child says and become over reactive and at times irrational. You are not alone, believe me. I too have carried pain from my childhood and I have struggled to be the parent I wanted to be. And parenting can be difficult at times. But what if I told you that there's a way to heal from your childhood pain, feel more energized, less reactive, more confident, and truly enjoy your children.
In the Masterful Parenting Program that runs for 8 weeks, I will help you become the parent you want to be. You will know how to heal from your own childhood, become more self-aware, learn how to connect better, and ways to communicate that touches your child's heart and ultimately have a healthy relationship with your child. I have helped many parents, as a high school counsellor, and I am also the mother of two boys, ages 23 and 13. My healing has come from by parenting and yours can, too.
If you want to heal, feel good about your parenting, less tired, more connected, and more appreciated by your kids, message me for a free 30 minute helping session and we will make a plan!
I truly believe parents can heal and raise healthy children and in doing this we will change the world. Let's do this!
