E. 106 Parenting Through Values vs Fears

Join Elisa and Pam with special guest Jennifer Taun RSW, MSW for this week's episode on parenting through our values vs through fears.  What guides our parenting? Are we managing situations the way we want to be with our children?  Are we parenting and reacting out of fear of what this behaviour may bring in the future?


Parenting out of fear can sometimes trigger us and create a situation where we over react. It happens.. but what can we do so it doesn't happen as often, how do come back from with our children? Most importantly, how do we parent in the present through our values and what we want to extend to our children vs through fear of the future and the what if's?

E. 103 Is Anger Always a Bad Thing?

E. 103 Is Anger Always a Bad Thing?

We are so excited to have Jenn Taun RSW back and joining us for this episode where we talk all about Anger and Parenting. Is anger always a bad thing? Have a listen and find out, you may be surprised!

Jenn has been an instrumental part of our team and we know you'll love what she has to say about this topic as much as we did. Parenting is hard and anger is a natural human emotion. Yes we may strive for being the most patient parent and always be open to listening and being present but sometimes, it just doesn't happen. What happens then when we lose our cool or flip our lids?

Have a listen and join our FB group to keep the conversation going! And be sure to stay tuned as we have some great upcoming topics with Jenn!

To find out more about Jenn and her services visit her website and of course if you need any sleep and parenting support, reach out to Elisa and Pam for your free 15 minute consultation and let's get started!

E.100 Do I have to Teach Independent Sleep for Childcare?

E.100 Do I have to Teach Independent Sleep for Childcare?

One of the biggest questions that we get when it comes to the transition into childcare is...Do I have to Sleep Coach before my baby begins? 

This can cause a lot of extra stress and anxiety for parents if they do not want to do this. Having an open discussion with your childcare provider is the first step to find out what they suggest and what they will be doing in care to teach independent sleep. (Which methods they will use.) You can then decide if you would like to help your child learn this skill beforehand. In this podcast, we chat about your options and some of our experiences in the childcare field. 

If you are ready for sleep coaching and don't want to tackle it on your own, we are here! We have a few different programs to help you teach this skill with confidence and consistency. You need to find a method that you are most comfortable and that is exactly what we help with! 

**Restful Parenting has partnered with Jenn Taun of North Bay Counseling Services so we are pleased to bring a whole new level to our holistic approach. As an added bonus to this partnership, for those in Ontario, our services may now be covered under your benefits through social worker.**

E. 98 Parenting & Partnering Differently From Your Past: Interview with Dr Lynyetta Willis

E. 98 Parenting & Partnering Differently From Your Past: Interview with Dr Lynyetta Willis

Join Pam and Elisa on this week's episode of the All Things Sleep and Parenting Podcast where we have a special guest Dr. Lynyetta Willis. We had such a great conversation with Dr Willis about how we parent based on the way we were parented. The information Dr Lynyetta shares about inter-generational drama makes this an episode all parents should hear. 

A little more about Dr. Willis

Dr. Lynyetta Willis, psychologist, family empowerment coach, speaker, and award-winning author - helps frustrated families break free from Stable Misery®  and unhelpful parenting and partnership patterns, so they can create more harmony at home.

Over 20 years of journeying with countless clients led her to design the research-supported Elemental Living® Model and P.A.T.H.S. Relationship Framework. These powerful tools help parents and partners improve communication, minimize overreactions, and transform intergenerational trauma.

Dr. Willis’ Harmony in the Home Couples Program and Triggered to Transformed®  Group Parenting Program have received rave reviews from couples and parents across the globe in South Africa, Israel, New Zealand, and Australia.

A sought after speaker, media contributor, and author, Dr. Willis’s multi-award winning book, My Forgotten Self: A Story about a Girl, a Powerful Encounter, and a Universal Message, received high acclaim from individuals such as Dr. Shefali Tsabary, author of The Conscious Parent and “Oprah’s Parenting Expert”; Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith, author and spiritual leader of Agape International Truth Center; and Michal Berg, President and CEO of Spirituality for Kids International, Inc.

Dr. Willis lives in Georgia with her husband and their two children.

E.84 Illness and Sleep-How to keep sleep on track or get sleep back on track when illness strikes

We would love to wave a magic wand and prevent each and every baby or child from getting sick at any point but especially after you have worked so hard on sleep coaching! Pam and Elisa have many powers but unfortunately, that is not one of them. It is inevitable that your child will get sick at some point and it can be so overwhelming and disheartening to have worked so hard on sleep and then have to take steps back when illness strikes. We want to make sure that you know how to keep things on track as much as possible and or get things back on track if you had to do more to help your little one fall asleep when they were sick.  


In this podcast episode, we talk all about: 

When to keep things on track What to do with their sleep schedule when they get sick as well as  How to get things back to independent sleep territory when the illness is over!  

Have a listen, you will not want to miss this one.  


If you would like to teach your baby or child how to fall asleep independently and just don't know where to start...Or maybe they were falling asleep on their own and got sick and now you feel stuck, we are here to help! Reach out to us at info@restfulparenting.com and we can book a FREE 15 minute call with you.
