Parenting Tips, Resources and Strategies for Moms and Dads of Children, & Teenagers.
Welcome to the Impactful Parenting Podcast
The Impactful Parenting Podcast helps parents turn their chaos into connection with their children. Through meaningful stories, the podcast provides parenting tips for making family life easier!
Why? Because school-aged children bring different challenges to parenting that younger kids don’t! The Impactful Parenting Podcast provides help for raising your adolescent child.
So if you’re asking yourself questions like:
• "What age should a child get a phone?"
• ”Why is my teenager doing this?”
• "Does my child have ADHD or just high energy?"
• "How to talk to my teen about depression."
• ”Is anyone else experiencing this? I can’t be the only one.”
• ”What are outdoor learning activities for kids?"
Then YOU HAVE FOUND THE RIGHT PLACE!

Supporting High Performing Child Athletes
Is your child a "natural" on the field but struggling to keep up in the classroom?
We all dream of supporting our child’s passions, but when "good" turns into "elite," the rules of parenting change overnight. Suddenly, you aren't just a fan in the stands; you're a manager, a logistics coordinator, and a primary support system for a child facing adult-level pressure. In this episode of The Impactful Parent, host Kristina Campos sits down with Gosha Bettincourt, a mom who is currently navigating the world of national-level competitive diving with her seventh-grade son.
If you’ve ever wondered how to manage 20+ hours of training a week without sacrificing your child's education or mental health, this conversation is your roadmap. Inside This Episode, You’ll Learn: The "Spark Moment": How to tell when your child is ready to move from recreational sports to national-level competition.
The Education Pivot: Why traditional school models often "hit a wall" for elite athletes and how the Crimson Global Academy model provides Ivy-League-level academics with total flexibility.
The Hidden Costs: It’s not just team fees. We discuss the financial and emotional reality of medical bills, sports psychologists, and family sacrifices.
Preventing the Silent Killer: Identifying "Yellow Flags" of burnout before your child loses their passion for the game.
The Stanford Strategy: How a 13-year-old took charge of his own future by introducing himself to college scouts (and why you should encourage it!). "The more I step back and listen to my child’s needs, the more successful and impactful it is for our entire household." — Gosha Bettincourt
Raising an elite athlete is a marathon, not a sprint. Whether your child is into diving, gymnastics, soccer, or any high-stakes activity, this episode will help you protect their "spark" while preparing them for a successful future both on and off the field.
