Emotionally Intelligent Parenting with Stephanie Pinto

• 86: "Control Your Emotions" Is TERRIBLE Advice.

  I’m coming in hot with a truth bomb that might just flip your parenting, your self-awareness, and your whole emotional vibe on its head.Who's heard that we must learn to “control our emotions”? ME. A million times...Newsflash: This is TERRIBLE advice.Yep, I said it. So if you've ever gritted your teeth, stuffed your feelings down, or told your kid to “just calm down”, you’re not alone.We’ve all been fed this myth that emotional intelligence means being cool, calm, and collected 24/7. Like some sort of emotionless robot with a gratitude journal?! Ok then.But here's the thing: emotions aren’t meant to be controlled, they’re meant to be understood.Every feeling you have is like a little post-it note from your inner world.Anger? “Hey, your boundary just got steamrolled.”Anxiety? “Something feels off, look closer.”Disappointment? “You were hoping for something, and it didn’t land.”Emotions aren’t interruptions. They’re INTEL.So today, I’m diving into how emotional intelligence is actually about tuning in, not shutting down. I’ll show you how to listen to your emotions (without getting stuck in them), use them to guide better decisions, and teach your kids to do the same.Because once you stop shoving emotions aside and start decoding what they’re telling you?Everything. Gets. Easier.🎁 🎁 FREEBIES:Parent Guide: "3 Steps From Chaos to Connection" (How to raise emotionally intelligent kids)Parent Guide: "Beating Anxiety in Kids" (Evidence based strategies to support anxious, sensitive kids)AVAILABLE NOW at stephaniepinto.com/resources🌟🌟🌟Hi, I'm Stephanie Pinto.

• 85: The Discipline Lie: Why Everything We Were Taught Was Wrong PLUS It Doesn't Work on Kids Anyway.

  Ever been told that "kids just need some good ol' fashioned discipline" to learn their lesson?Yeah... let’s talk about why that advice needs to go straight to the recycling bin.I'm pulling back the curtain on the real difference between discipline and punishment — and why confusing the two can seriously mess with your child's emotional growth (and your relationship with them).Spoiler: Discipline isn’t about being "soft." It’s about being SMART.You’ll learn: ✨ Why discipline teaches and punishment backfires ✨ How discipline builds future behaviour, while punishment keeps kids stuck in shame ✨ Why connection and guidance will always beat blame and fear ✨ How real discipline actually boosts emotional intelligence (and no, yelling doesn’t count)👉 Ever wondered why your punishments aren’t "working" — no matter how many times you threaten, lecture, or take away the iPad?👉 Curious why some kids grow into sneaky, secretive teens — and how it has everything to do with how we handle mistakes when they’re little?If you’re serious about raising emotionally resilient kids, trust me — the next 25 minutes are going to be a total game-changer.Let’s change the way we parent — one empowered conversation at a time. 🎙️🎁 🎁 FREEBIES:Parent Guide: "3 Steps From Chaos to Connection" (How to raise emotionally intelligent kids)Parent Guide: "Beating Anxiety in Kids" (Evidence based strategies to support anxious, sensitive kids)AVAILABLE NOW at stephaniepinto.com/resources 🌟🌟🌟 Hi, I'm Stephanie Pinto.

• 83: "Why Am I So Angry at My Kids?”: You're Not Broken, You're Repeating Cycles, with Shelly Robinson.

  Have you ever found yourself snapping at your kids and then sinking into a wave of guilt, thinking, “I swore I’d be different!!!” 😭In this powerful and heart-opening episode of the Emotionally Intelligent Parenting Podcast, I’m joined by Shelly Robinson, conscious parenting coach and founder of Raising Yourself. We’re diving deep into the life-changing work of reparenting—what it really means, why it’s so essential, and how it helps you respond to your kids with calm and compassion instead of reacting from old wounds.You’ll hear the raw story of a mum I coached who broke down mid-session, struggling with her anger and shame. And if that feels familiar—if your reactions feel bigger than the moment—you are not alone.Together, Shelly and I explore:🩷 How despite all the effort we give, we cannot rely on willpower alone to parent consciously 🩷 Why reparenting your inner child is the key to breaking generational patterns🩷 The truth about anger (and what it’s really trying to tell us)🩷 How to let go of guilt and lean into self-compassion🩷 A gentle guided inner child reparenting exercise you can do with us.And don’t miss Shelly’s one-liner that might just shift your whole perspective:🌟 "Your parents have an inner child too."If you’re ready to feel less reactive, more in control, and truly seen in your parenting journey, this one’s for YOU.Find Shelly here:IG: https://www.instagram.com/raising_yourself/FB: https://www.facebook.com/raisingyourselfW: https://www.shellyrobinson.com🌟🌟🌟 Hi, I'm Stephanie Pinto.

• 82: So You Lost Your Sh*t. Now Learn the Real Way to Repair (and Teach Your Kids How To) with Emotional Intelligence.

  Messing up as a parent: It’s not IF, it’s WHEN. 😅Trust me, even I mess up and I speak on Emotional Intelligence daily, I run conferences on it, I have courses and a book on it... so let me give you permission to lose your cool too!!However - we DO need to talk about the messy, completely normal experience of losing your cool, whether it’s yelling at the kids, snapping at your partner, or going quiet and shutting down. Especially what to do AFTER the blow-up, and how to handle it with your kids.Because emotional intelligence isn’t about being calm all the time. It’s about learning how to repair, reconnect, and actually teach our kids to do the same.I talk about:💥 Why it’s 100% human to lose your cool sometimes🧠 What’s going on in your brain and body when you snap or shut down❤️ How to do a proper repair (not just a quick “sorry”)🧒🏼 How to TEACH your kids to repair when they muck up too😶 And what to do if you’re someone who goes quiet after conflictIf you’ve ever ended the day thinking, “Ugh, why did I do that…”, this one’s for you. Let’s normalise the mess-ups and get really good at the bounce-back. 💛 Steph.🌟🌟🌟 Hi, I'm Stephanie Pinto.
