38: Get Out Of The Good Cop - Bad Cop Parenting Trap with Danielle Bettman

Today we are joined by Danielle Bettman, owner and parenting coach at Whole Heartedly. Danielle helps families with strong-willed toddlers, and parents with a good-cop, bad-cop dynamic find sanity and solutions. Through one-on-one coaching, she helps parents extend their patience, troubleshoot parenting strategies that work, and rewire their parenting mindset and beliefs. She hosts the Failing Motherhood podcast, showcasing the struggles of parenting.

Danielle shares how her second daughter was very challenging and didn't fit into any "normal'' parenting methods. She explains how she had to rethink her parenting strategies, and soon realized that other parents were in the same dilemma as she..

In this episode, we talk about how different personalities parent differently, how you can be sending mixed messages to your children, and how to recognize when your home situation is starting to become unglued. 

Find out why it’s hard to problem-solve when we are emotional, how your own personal fear affects parenting, and how our fears are projected onto our children.
