Unlocking the Secrets: The 5 Pillars of Modern Parenting You Need To Know!
Passions, Values, & Beliefs (PVBs)
By leaning into what truly matters to you, you’re not just playing the role of a parent—you’re thriving in it. And guess what? This genuine approach not only makes you a happier, more confident parent, but it also significantly reduces stress. Now that’s what I call a parenting win-win!
Effective Disipline Strategies
Here’s the inside scoop: when applied thoughtfully, discipline becomes an invaluable teaching moment, laying the groundwork for those crucial life skills your kids will thank you for in adulthood. Think of it less as punishment and more as life’s cheat codes, offering shortcuts to lessons in respect, accountability, and kindness.
Close & Positive Parent-Child Bond
Zeroing in on a strong parent-child bond is a win-win. It’s the secret sauce to a fulfilling family life, enriching both you and your kiddo. Trust me, the emotional closeness you nurture today pays off in lifelong love and respect.
Balancing Online Time With Offline Time
YOU hold the power to hit the ‘off’ button! Too much screen time can lead to anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Teach your little one the joys of swapping pixels for playgrounds and urge your teen to trade endless scrolling for real-world chats.
Igniting Internal Motivation
When you dive in and help your child or teen identify what lights them up—those natural strengths and interests—you’re basically handing them the ultimate life GPS! This is how they navigate around life’s potholes and low-energy days, all while feeling a sense of ‘Yes, I was made for this!’ It’s not just about overcoming obstacles; it’s about owning their journey and loving it.
I’m Dr. Becca Ballinger
Before we go any further, let me introduce myself…I’m a child psychologist with a busy private practice, a Modern Parenting Expert, and a mom to two wonderful young adults.
But it wasn’t too long ago that I was plagued by constant worry about my parenting skills. Arguments, bad grades, unhappy kids—I took them all as signs that I was failing as a parent. Trust me, I’ve been there, and so have the parents in my private practice. We all craved something better!
But fast forward through many years of research and trial and error, and I’ve crafted a parenting toolkit that’s changed not only my life but the lives of families that I work with…and SPOILER: I don’t believe in pills, magic potions, or leaving parenting to “luck.” I believe in putting in the hard work to raise happy, healthy, motivated, interesting, and morally-driven young people in today’s world.
Today, I teach great parents like you how to do the same.
