Are you struggling to connect with your teenage children and wish for a stronger bond? Let me share my heartfelt conversation with the brilliant Dr. Rishma Walji, a PhD and naturopathic doctor, who has passionately embarked on a journey to deepen her connection with her two teenage daughters and become the mom she has always aspired to be. Dr. Rishma unveils her secrets to maintaining a more connected family when things feel overwhelming, and provides fascinating insight on why counting to 10 and patience don’t always cut it.

Join us as we explore the concept of savoring joyful parenting moments through Dr. Rishma’s wonderful chocolate cake analogy. Can you believe that just thinking about savoring a chocolate cake can give us the same response as actually eating it? Discover how to apply this intriguing idea to your own parenting journey and learn how to treasure those precious moments with your children without feeling the need to relive them. We also discuss Dr. Rishma’s innovative system for remembering significant moments of connection and joy with her children – a practice you may want to adopt as well!

Finally, let’s dive into the transformative power of journaling. Dr. Rishma shares how this practice has helped her create deeper connections with her children and express her love and compassion for them. I’ll also reveal how the Connected Parent Journal has softened my heart, enabled me to become more gentle with my daughter, and ultimately improved our relationship.
