KELLY TAY – Ep. 3 / HANDLING DISCIPLINE, ‘MOM RAGE’ AND INTERCULTURAL CONFLICT FOR MORE EFFECTIVE PARENTING

If you’ve ever lost your absolute sh*t on your kids in a fit of “mom rage” – this episode is for you. Respectful Parenting Coach KELLY TAY talks us through the good, the bad, and the ugly sides of disciplining our kids, setting effective boundaries, and dealing with the conflicts that inevitably arise from different parenting styles, caregiver norms, and cultures.

This episode is like a masterclass in better parenting, covering hot topics like:

•⁠ ⁠Discipline – what it means, what it looks like done right, and how to stay consistent

•⁠ ⁠Asian parenting – capitalising on the good and working through the not-so-great

•⁠ ⁠Transnational relationships – how to “bridge the gaps” when you and your partner have different backgrounds and expectations for parenting

•⁠ ⁠‘Mom rage’ – breaking down the reasons it exists and how to manage it

With years of experience working with parents and families across cultures, KELLY TAY helps us start the difficult conversations toward change, break generational cycles of violence and punitive discipline, and hold space to apologise and move forward when we mess up – and isn’t that the reassurance we all need as parents?
