Behave Your Best

We are raising children in a whole different world than we were raised due to the advances in technology and a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic. Pandemic parents and our children need support like never before! One societal “long COVID” symptom of the pandemic is the delayed social-emotional development of our children who were elementary age and younger prior to the start of the pandemic. This symptom will likely not be fully realized until we experience a cohort of children with delayed social-emotional and behavior regulation skills. We can be the generation that disrupts parenting from a discipline-based approach to one emphasizing teaching of social-emotional and behavior regulation skills first. Welcome to, #parentingtrendsetters, a parenting podcast like no other! I’m your host, Jamie Waldvogel, Founder and Owner of Behave Your Best. Since 2011, we have supported parents with modern-day parenting. #Parentingtrendsetters just like you share their experiences with Behave Your Best’s services, ranging from FREE recorded parent workshops to phone, text, and email support to Zoom coaching, and depending on your location, in-home coaching.

As parents it's easy to think "What worked for my older child should work for my younger child." Our guest on this episode is a parent of a blended age family raising children college age, elementary school aged and a toddler. Reading books or previous strategies weren't able to "flex" or be customized to help our guest, but BYB's individualized consultation created a plan and support that did work.

By focusing on the skills that their child was missing in the classroom at home, he was able to successfully transition into a new preschool program. The strategies to teach their son these skills continue to be effective and an important component of their parenting toolbox today!

Our tools are not just a one time or one age thing, they are valuable for all our children's ages and stages!
