Dr. Mona Delahooke, clinical psychologist and author of Brain-Body Parenting: How to Stop Managing Behavior and Start Raising Joyful, Resilient Kids, is on for a deeper dive into the parenting conversation. The entire parenting system is focused on behavior and compliance, but is it actually working for our kids? Many behaviors are subconscious, so how do we engage a new way forward with “brain body parenting” to help our kids make good choices and consider the future impact of those choices? Dr. Delahooke teaches us to do that by focusing on what is causing our kids’ behavior rather than the behavior itself, setting good boundaries, setting examples, and being empathetic.  Guest Links: Website: http://monadelahooke.com IG: https://www.instagram.com/monadelahooke/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/monadelahooke Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrMonaDelahooke For 25% off The Fitness App by Jillian Michaels, go to www.thefitnessapp.com/podcastdeal Follow us on Instagram @JillianMichaels and @MartiniCindy Jillian
