Episode 27: Fix Child Behavior Problems By Parenting With Love
Podcast: Conquer Mom Stress
Host: Jill Gockel
Have you ever wondered why you don’t feel happy as a mom—even when you’re being patient, doing your best, and holding everything together?
In this episode, Jill Gockel speaks to the exhausted mom, tired mom, and overwhelmed mother who feels stuck in constant correction mode. If you’ve ever thought I need help with my child’s behaviour, struggled with child behavior problems, or worried that showing joy means letting things slide, this conversation will completely reframe how you see parenting.
Learn how mom stress, chronic stress, and emotional tension shape a child’s nervous system and directly influence child behavior, including moments like 3 year old behavior is out of control. When moms lead with seriousness instead of connection, kids don’t feel guided—they feel managed. Over time, this drains joy, patience, and energy, leaving moms feeling like a failure as a mom.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why joy is essential for calm parenting and happy children
How nonverbal stress affects child behavior and emotional safety
Why being a calm mom helps children cooperate more naturally
How to parent with love while still holding firm boundaries
Encouraging Bible verses and mom Bible verses that restore joy
How to reduce stress without becoming permissive
Why joy is the foundation for raising a happy child
How to be a nicer mom without losing authority
Practical mom tips for patience with kids and calm correction
Using Scripture, neuroscience, and real-life motherhood moments, Jill shows how joy is not a reward for good behavior—it’s the environment where good behavior grows. When moms soften their presence, invite God into discipline, and release emotional tension, they become a joyful mom who can truly enjoy motherhood.
This episode offers words of encouragement for every mom who wants to be a good mom, love parenting, and learn how to be happy, how to be happy as a mom, and how to raise a happy child—even on hard days.
💛 Your joy is not the enemy of discipline.
💛 Your joy is a gift to your children.
💛 You were never meant to parent without it.
