Sustainable Parenting | Positive Discipline for Raising Resilient Kids
For cycle-breaking parents who still face battles at bedtime and beyond, Sustainable Parenting teaches tools that actually change behavior when gentle parenting doesn't work.
If your 6-year-old ignores you, your toddler screams over a broken banana, and bedtime still ends in tears—it’s not you, it’s the gentle parenting advice that’s failing you.
Research shows 1 in 3 parents who try gentle parenting still end the day begging kids to listen and blaming themselves when the scripts don’t stop the tantrums. So unlike other podcasts that only tell you to “stay calm” or “validate feelings” while your toddler is throwing dinosaurs at your head, here you’ll get strategies to set limits kids respect without crushing their spirit so they grow into kind, confident humans, and you finally feel like the calm, in-control parent you want to be.
I’m Flora McCormick—a counselor, parenting coach, and mom of two. After 20 years helping families worldwide, I’ve helped thousands of parents raise confident kids while practicing parenting without yelling or shame. Parenting will always have hard moments, but raising respectful, emotionally healthy kids doesn’t have to be a constant battle.

You're listening to episode 86 of the Sustainable Parenting Podcast with me, flora McCormick, licensed therapist, parenting coach and early childhood mental health consultant. As this is the day before Thanksgiving, I want to just say how thankful I am for all of you. I'm thankful that you're the type of parents that care enough about your families and your children and your own growth to come to a place like this podcast to learn and to be open to new ideas. And I'm so thankful for those that have shared the podcast with a friend or a family member. That is the reason that we've grown to 15,500 downloads and we're highlighted recently in the Top 100 Podcast Show by Courtney Elmer as a top podcast. And third of all, I'm so thankful for those that have left a review, because it really makes such a difference for others to understand, as they're browsing and considering a podcast, that this one's worthwhile. So that's easy to do by going to the end of all of the episodes list. At the bottom you'll see stars. You can click on the fifth star and then it'll open a space to leave a comment. If you haven't done so yet, you can then reach out to me in Messenger, on Facebook or Instagram at Sustainable Parenting to let me know you left that review and you'll get a bonus course from me In the meantime.
Speaker 1:Today's message is that I just like to share with you that we have two Black Friday specials going on this week.
Speaker 1:One is a huge discount, the biggest I've offered in a really long time $810 off of the Sustainable Parenting three-month group mentorship where you have one-on-one time with me once a week for a half hour, you have a one-hour group call and then you have my curated, super, boiled down, specific, don't waste any time.
Speaker 1:Get you the best material, self-paced course so that you get all of my best tips and tricks. And that also comes with a 38-page PDF download of my best refrigerator reminders and you get a little letter in the mail from me with some fun stickers and magnets to remind you of stuff. And the other is a five session bundle of one-on-one sessions where we meet for 30 minutes five times to really hone in on what's been challenging and solve the problems that have been challenging you with really personalized, specific advice that you've probably been missing from just having a general course. And these deals will both be available in the show notes of this episode, so scroll down in the description and you'll see it there. All right, friends, have a wonderful Thanksgiving and we will see you next week.
