122. Teaching Life Lessons Through Everyday Activities with Mike Thompson

<p>This week I got to sit down with Mike Thompson for a second time! Mike was the guest on episode 74 in which we talked about changing our identity.</p><p>This episode we got to talking about how to teach our children frustration tolerance and confidence. We chat about tactics we&#39;ve used that helped and what hasn&#39;t. We talk about how to model this for our children and what should be expected of us when they are part of a sports team.</p><p>Mike is a personal trainer that would be glad to help you be the healthiest version of yourself for your family and children, and being a father himself knows what kind of obstacles you are dealing with. </p><p>To work with Mike or to just talk parenting with him (because he loves to talk parenting!) reach out to him on Instagram which you can find by clicking <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mjttraining/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">HERE</a></p><p><br></p><p>Please remember to leave a rating, review, or subscribe if you haven&#39;t yet, I truly appreciate it!</p><p><br></p><p>Chapters</p><p><br></p><p>00:00 Navigating Parenting Challenges in Sports</p><p>03:11 Building Frustration Tolerance in Children</p><p>06:01 The Balance of Support and Expectations</p><p>08:54 Modeling Learning and Growth for Kids</p><p>12:00 Teaching Emotional Intelligence and Self-Advocacy</p><p>14:58 The Importance of Trying and Participating</p><p>17:59 Learning Through Failure and Process</p><p>21:01 Involving Kids in New Experiences</p><p>24:00 Creating Positive Memories in Learning</p><p>27:03 The Journey of Learning Together</p><p>27:20 Navigating Academic Pressure and Personal Expectations</p><p>30:01 The Importance of Learning from Failure</p><p>32:53 Reframing Timeouts: A New Approach to Discipline</p><p>36:34 Modeling Emotional Regulation for Children</p><p>39:08 Overcoming Parental Anxiety in Social Settings</p><p>43:05 Embracing Imperfection in Parenting</p><p>46:32 Positive Reinforcement: Encouraging Growth in Kids</p><p><br></p>
