Parenting Tips for Moms and Dads of School-aged 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!
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!

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.
