The Masterful Parenting Podcast - Heal Your Childhood and Parent Better Through Relational Parenting

Episode 108 Guest Hakeem Bourne McFarlane on Choose Yourself to Be Chosen #choose #livingyourlife

Hakeem Bourne McFarlane is a creator, author, and motivational speaker whose raw truth and relentless tenacity have inspired thousands to stop living on autopilot and start choosing themselves. His message has reached an audience of over 385,000 across platforms but numbers mean nothing if the people don’t transform. He’s the mind behind Choose Yourself To Be Chosen and the founder of the Choose Yourself Movement, a community built for people who are ready to face their excuses head-on, tear down what isn’t working, and build an unshakeable foundation for the life they actually want. He doesn’t just motivate you, he holds a mirror to your habits, expands your comfort zone, and dares you to do the daily work when no one’s clapping. He’s proof that self-sabotage can become self-mastery when discipline is non-negotiable and your integrity loop is activated.

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.

Episode 103 Punishment: What It Really Does to Our Kids an What To Do Instead

What does punishment really do to our kids and why doesn't it work long term?
What can we do instead in our parenting?
Many parents wrestle with the concept of punishment because many of us were raised by punishment. The fact is that punishment does not work long term and our kids actually get damage with the use of punishment.  Punishment is NOT healthy parenting. 
 
There are no benefits to punishment.  Let me unpack this for you and offer alternatives to punishment for correct behavior.
