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: • ”Is this normal?” • ”Why is my teenager doing this?” • ”How do I get my child to stop?” • ”I am so frustrated. What do I do?” • ”Is anyone else experiencing this? I can’t be the only one.” • ”I am worried. What can I do?” Then YOU HAVE FOUND THE RIGHT PLACE! Hi! I am Kristina Campos. I am the founder of the Impactful Parent and my passion is creating better relationships between parents and their children. I am a parenting coach, a teacher who has taught every grade level from Pre-K through high school, and most importantly, I am a mom of 4 kids! (Yep, those are my kiddos in the podcast photo). The teen years don’t need to be difficult. Teenagers CAN have a special bond with their parents! Listen and discover the tools and techniques you need to create connections, build trust, and have a stress-free household. This is only the beginning! Let’s get started, together! -Kristina Campos Founder of The Impactful Parent

259: Being Unapologetically YOU and Avoiding the Parent Trap!
Thursday Mar 28, 2024
Thursday Mar 28, 2024
Being Unapologetically YOU and Avoiding the Parent Trap!
Just like so many parents, I too, have fallen into the parent trap!
What is the parent trap? The trap where you PUT YOURSELF LAST to take care of everyone else. The trap is where you GIVE UP all the things you used to love to do because you don't feel you have time anymore. The trap in which you DRESS THRUMPY EVERY DAY because it is convenient and comfortable.
And slowly.... the parent trap has you leaving your old self behind to be ONLY a parent. This also leads to resentment and unhappiness. So in this episode: Rodrigo Bravo and I talk about the parent trap! We discuss:
⭐ How easy it is to lose your identity to parenthood.
⭐ How giving up on your hobbies and passions will leave you resentful.
⭐Tips for being unapologetically YOU, even with a busy schedule.
⭐ How being YOU actually makes you a better parent.
⭐ Tips for changing your mindset.

258: Helping Kids That Want To Fit In
Thursday Mar 21, 2024
Thursday Mar 21, 2024
Helping Kids That Want To Fit In
YOU DON'T WANT YOUR KIDS TO FIT IN! Let me explain...
This episode of the Impactful Parent talks about why parents shouldn't want their kids to fit in. You see, fitting in means that a child has to change themselves to be accepted by the group. Yet, the longing to BELONG is very strong. If a child does not think they can belong by being themselves, then they will resort to fitting in to fill that void. OH NO! ⭐ Discover how parents can help their child foster belonging and stay true to their authentic self. ⭐ This episode is a MUST-WATCH!
