Ever find yourself feeling stuck when your child’s behavior feels challenging?
In this short episode of the Sustainable Parenting weekly podcast, Dr. John Sommers-Flanagan — a clinical psychologist and professor of counseling at the University of Montana — shares three gentle parenting tools designed to bring more calm, confidence, and connection into everyday parenting. Together, we explore how self-awareness, curiosity, and radical acceptance can strengthen parent-child connection, ease anxiety & emotions, and help create smoother, more positive interactions with your child.
After listening, you’ll discover:
• How the phrase, “Get Curious, Not Furious” can transform tricky moments and stop power struggles with kids
• How self-awareness supports more thoughtful choices for calm, confident parenting
• Positive parenting strategies for responding with care instead of reacting with frustration
• Ways to set boundaries using kind and firm parenting and gentle discipline
• How calm parenting tips and curiosity can help you stop tantrums and build trust
• Simple practices for raising confident kids and celebrating progress every day
✨ Join us for a conversation filled with parenting tips & tools to support sustainable parenting and create a home where parenting without yelling leads to lasting growth, connection, and ease.
