    32: Part 2 of Redefining Fatherhood with Daniel Franco
    Jun 2 2024
    Welcome back to our raw and enlightening conversation with the incredible Daniel Franco!
    In this second part of our chat, we dive deep into the evolving world of fatherhood, focusing on emotional intelligence and the art of gentle parenting.
    In this episode, we explore how today's dads can rise to the occasion, embracing fatherhood like never before—because our kids are counting on it.
    We tackle the challenge many women face when their husbands seem to be on a different wavelength and discuss why forcing a change in their parenting approach is rarely effective.
    Daniel and I also address a common misconception: that gentle parenting creates overly sensitive "snowflakes." We break down why this stereotype misses the mark and reveal the real secret to raising strong, resilient kids—and it's NOT what most dads think!
    Join us for an uplifting, eye-opening discussion that will inspire and empower both mums and dads on their parenting journey.

    31: Redefining Fatherhood: Emotional Intelligence and Gentle Parenting with Daniel Franco (Part 1).
    May 26 2024
    Today on Emotionally Intelligent Parenting with Stephanie Pinto, I sit down with Daniel Franco, the insightful host of Dads Lifting Dads podcast, for part one of a compelling two-part interview.
    Dan shares his experiences and wisdom on navigating the challenges of fatherhood from a modern perspective. No "suck it up buttercup" or "emotions make you weak" from him! We delve into some big topics like aligning parenting styles with your partner - can it be done?, mothers' concerns about fathers causing emotional trauma with their harsh tactics, and the debate around gentle parenting and permissiveness.
    Our conversation about how to raise boys who are both resilient and emotionally intelligent was one of the most powerful I've had. Dan offers practical advice and heartfelt insights and calls on fathers to step up to be more present and supportive in their families. Keep an ear out for Part 2 next week!

  • 30: Raising Respectful, Resilient Kids with Sarah R. Moore

    30: Raising Respectful, Resilient Kids with Sarah R. Moore
    May 18 2024
    In this episode, I chat with Sarah R. Moore and discuss why disciplining, not punishing, children is crucial for their development.
    Sarah explains how positive, natural, and logical consequences are WAY more helpful and much less damaging. She emphasizes that discipline can be constructive, fostering respectful and peaceful relationships.
    We tackle the question of whether parental unity (both parents being on the "same page") is that important and debunk the myth that harshness prepares kids for a tough world, revealing instead that it leads to unhealthy relationships.
    Sarah passionately advocates for raising children in ways that encourage them to seek supportive, collaborative, and healthy connections. Join us to learn how we can transform the world, family by family.


    A bit about Sarah R. Moore: She's the author of "Peaceful Discipline: Story Teaching, Brain Science & Better Behavior" and founder of Dandelion Seeds Positive Parenting. As a certified Master Trainer in conscious parenting and Chairperson of the Board for the American Society for the Positive Care of Children, she’s also a public speaker, parent coach, armchair neuroscientist, and most importantly, a Mama. Her work has been featured on NBC, CBS, and SiriusXM, and in countless international parenting magazines. With training in child development, trauma recovery, interpersonal neurobiology, improv comedy and play, her work supports parents and caregivers around the globe. Follow her on the links here:

  • 28: My Wake-Up Call This Week: Navigating Scary Videos and Bedtime Meltdowns

    28: My Wake-Up Call This Week: Navigating Scary Videos and Bedtime Meltdowns
    Apr 28 2024
    After removing YouTube from our home about 4 months ago (see previous episode on this in Dec 2023), we had a huge setback this past week. This is a pretty vulnerable episode, I wish I handled myself and the situation better... but, lesson learnt. I know you'll take a lot away from this episode - I speak about boundaries, safety, dealing with big emotions, dysregulation, anxiety and even laughing in the face of a crying child (yep, that was me. Told you I'm not perfect!).
    Do your kids access YouTube in your home? How does you find it - fine, worrying or downright stressful? I'd love to know.

  • 27: When All The Emotions Regulation Tools Don't Work, with Alice Bullivant.

    27: When All The Emotions Regulation Tools Don't Work, with Alice Bullivant.
    Apr 22 2024

    What can we do when all the usual emotional regulation techniques and strategies fall short for our child? If you've wondered this, you're in the right place.


    Alice is an ‘energy plumber’. She unblocks the blocks that people have when nothing else seems to 'work'. In this episode, she speaks about what happens when problems in the body, such as primitive (baby) reflexes don’t integrate into purposeful, functional behaviours. Behavioural challenges, disorganisation, learning difficulties and even anxiety (like with my own child!) can come up.


    And so when all the usual “tools” don’t work – it can be life-changing to be open to taking another route. Alice was captured by kinesiology when her son was unhappy, angry, impulsive, yet very bright, within 5 sessions of kinesiology she had a “different child”.


    Alice shared a powerful story about a client, a boy she worked with who after receiving kinesiology with her, no longer needed a whole load of supports and plans at school to get through a day, his after-school meltdowns reduced significantly, and he was no longer stuck in a pattern of strict organisation in his bedroom (a coping mechanism of anxiety).


    I hope you enjoy this episode and if you’re wondering whether kinesiology might help you and your child, please get in touch with Alice, here are her links:

    26: Cooperative Co-parenting in Separation and Divorce with Aurisha Smolarski and Stephanie Pinto.
    Apr 14 2024
    If you're going through a separation or divorce, and experiencing co-parenting battles, this episode is right up your alley. The challenges are quite possibly one of the hardest thing you'll ever navigate, BUT there are solutions. We discuss cutting emotional cables, dealing with poor communication, competitive parenting, emotional transition days, triggers and more. Aurisha Smolarki, LMFT and certified co-parent coach is here to explain what's underneath the triggers, the anger, the battles and the heart-wrenching pull of being a loving parent to a child whose other parent you are no longer romantically connected to.
    Aurisha's book is Cooperative Coparenting: The Attachment Theory Guide to Raising Kids in Two Homes.
    Aurisha Smolarski is a licensed marriage and family therapist, certified co-parenting coach, certified mediator, and mother, with a clinical practice in Los Angeles, CA. She specializes in working with co-parents, couples, and individuals. As a co-parent herself, she is very familiar with the challenges faced by parents raising kids in two households. For fifteen years, she has drawn on attachment theory and other modalities to help clients move from conflict to cooperation, make child-centered agreements, and create a secure co-parenting two-home family system.
