Practical Tips and Insights for Parenting with Love and Boundaries with Shridhevi Veerappan

🎙️ Welcome to Don’t Shrink to Fit – the winner of the 2024 Women in Podcasting Award in the Coaching category!

This week  we’re diving into one of my favorite topics—parenting! I’m joined by the amazing Shridhevi Veerappan, a special educator, behavior analyst, and parenting coach, who shares her wealth of experience and empathy on the challenges parents face when kids don’t behave the way we expect.

As a mom herself—and an immigrant from India who transitioned from architecture to supporting families—Shridhevi brings invaluable insights to this conversation. Together, we discuss:

How to Get Your Child to Listen Without Tears: Practical and compassionate strategies to foster cooperation.

Value-Based vs. Goal-Based Frameworks: Understanding the difference and transforming your parenting approach.
Discipline, Boundaries, and Healthy Relationships: Building trust and setting boundaries to strengthen connections with your child.

Whether you’re navigating the ups and downs of parenting, raising kids on the spectrum, or supporting children with unique needs, this episode is filled with powerful insights to inspire and empower you.

Key Takeaway:
As Shridhevi reminds us, embracing discomfort and taking small, intentional steps each day can lead to profound growth, for both you and your child.

These are some topics we discuss today:
