60: A Conscious Parenting Conversation with Stacey Yates Sellar
Guest: Stacey Yates Sellar, Conscious Parenting Coach and Host of Happier Mom by the Minute
In this episode, Lauren is joined by fellow parenting coach and host of the Happier Mom By the Minute podcast -- Stacey Yates Sellar -- as they discuss Conscious Parenting and Stacey’s specific niche: Conscious Parenting children with ADHD! Stacey shares her wisdom and personal experience on how to consciously face the unique behavioral challenges of a child with ADHD, but don’t worry, these insights can apply to just about anyone. As Stacey puts it, “The techniques, the tools, and the parenting I do for my ADHD child is exactly what I'm doing for my typically developing child. It’s just more extreme, more often, and I have to do more investigating [for my ADHD child].”
So tune in as Lauren and Stacey connect over Conscious Parenting and share tools for parenting children with ADHD and beyond in this special conversation!
In this episode we talk about:
What Conscious Parenting children with ADHD looks like and how that differs - or doesn’t - from Conscious Parenting “neurotypical” or typically developing children.
Misconceptions around ADHD and parenting children with ADHD.
The gift, benefit, and necessity of conflict/challenge.
Deconstructing the notion that compliance equals “good.”
How we can empower and honor our children’s preferences and feelings, as well as our own.
Why a dysregulated adult cannot help a dysregulated child regulate themselves.
About Stacey Yates Sellar
Stacey is a personal coach that combines Positive Psychology and Conscious Parenting to parent from a place of love and understanding rather than stress and confusion. This new paradigm of parenting gives Stacey and her clients certainty and clarity with a mindset and tools that work.
Before becoming a coach, Stacey became obsessed with TED talks about happiness, behavior influencers and modification, positivity, grit and success. In October 2015 Stacey enrolled in a certification course and realized there was a name for all the efforts she had been practicing over the last 10 years, Positive Psychology.
Stacey then created Happier by The Minute offering short impact videos teaching the tools of Positive Psychology so she could share the knowledge and tools she discovered, including battling challenging ADHD behaviors. That led to a weekly webinar called The Happy Huddle which then led to a podcast which then led to an Alexa Skill...and it just keeps getting better! Stacey also recently completed a 5-month, PhD level course with Dr. Shefali Tsabary to become one of her esteemed Conscious Parenting Method coaches. Stacey is honored that she gets to use her knowledge to help other moms become their best mom-selves for their children.
