Sean Donohue Show

Parenting is much more than how you talk to your kids - it's more about how you talk to yourself.

Summer is here - let's make it a great one!

How you think about your children matters! Your mind is powerful - view your kids the right way.

Discipline is a good word. It means "the practice of training people"...and our kids need it.

Our words can build..and break. Bring love...and pain. Let's use our wisely!

Listen and do this parenting quiz activity with Sean! See your results!

Should you accept this choice from your kids...or stand your ground?

A parent's words are powerful! Use yours to build healthy thought patterns in your kids!

Are you your kid's "Person"? You can be.

Being a good listener..is hard. But worth it.

Parenting is really horrible sometimes! Here are some relatable laughs...and some tools for your journey

When you kid baits you into a debate or argument, how do you normally respond?

In those horrible, stressful moments, what do you think about. How do you process? Your thoughts matter!

Join Sean and Jordan as they talk with social media sensation comedian Wayne County Lyfe, aka Garrett Fuller, about raising twin teenage boys, being a famous TikToker and much more!

When you can trust your kids to cooperate, listen to you and be good to each other- it feels so good! And when you can't trust them to do these things - family life is hard!

Patience is good. Everyone should be patient. Your kids want you to be patient. Here are some tools.

Did you know there is a MAGIC RATIO in parenting? If you can get this ratio down you will see major changes!

Get them to listen...It's not a magic wand or magic potion. It's something else.

Drugs are scary. They can get their grips on any person, even a child/teen. This podcast will empower you, educate you, inspire you.

Conflict with your kids is so hard. It can be easier to cabe, give in, or appease. If you, or your partner struggles with avoidance, this is for you.

Can you trust your child to listen to you, the first time? Be patient with you? Do their chores? Manage their emotions? Who will teach them?

We need each other. Team up. Sean can help.

Parenting is so hard. Sooo hard. But here are 5 hard that the BEST of the BEST do.  Listen and ask yourself, "Do I do these 5 hard things?"

You love your kids! You want them best for them! Join Sean as he encourages and empowers you!

Parenting is less about how to speak to your kids... ...and more about how to speak to ourselves. It's a constant mind game. And it's hard. And gets harder during the teen years. Our ego gets triggered. Our fears. Our past. Our morals. This episode will help you to thrive.

We all feel lost and hopeless at times. Discouraged.  We've all been there! Every parent should listen to this podcast..and save it for when those dark times hit hard.

Reactive parents...this episode is for you! If you get triggered...this episode is for you! Or send this to a parent you love and want to help to become less reactive, less triggered.

Join Sean as he talks about intense parenting and how to best move past it into more, gentle, flexible, authoritative practices.
