Talk to Danielle

With the word Narcissism being tossed around like candy on social media and everywhere else, it becomes difficult for parents to get the right information they need when questioning if their child may be suffering from Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD).
 
There is a lot of pain and trauma associated to this condition for both the individual with NPD and the people who suffer the inevitable narcissistic abuse. It is not a word that should be used freely by calling someone a narcissist when you are not getting your way.
 
Danielle will walk you through some of the signs to look for in your child as well as what to do if you are interacting with a narcissistic child. The harsh reality of this personality disorder is not to be taken lightly and must be addressed promptly, with professional help and support. While most people give up on a narcissist in the adult years, it is important to support them the best we can when they are children.

The best approach to parenting is to find the right balance between the different parenting styles in order to truly support your child from infancy to adulthood.
 
Danielle refers to this equilibrium act as the Parenting Palette where, like an artist crafting the most beautiful painting by mixing and creating their own colours, parents find the right combination of parenting styles that their child will respond to the best.
 
She will describe the pros and cons of the 4 most common parenting styles, along with what kind of parent-child relationship each parenting style may create once the children are adults.

What if you weren't asking for help? What if you were asking for Backup? Would it be easier to ask for the support you need? With asking for help seen as a weakness, we simply have to change the vocabulary to put an end to the supermom, superdad, and super parent era!
 
In this episode, Danielle challenges the viewers and listeners to dig a little and see why it is so hard to ask for help and were would they need support right now. Where and when, in your day, could you have asked for backup but didn't? Who would you have asked if you had?

Danielle walks us through the 3 key points of maintaining positive discipline successfully and the key steps to incorporating this still foreign concept into changing this unacceptable behaviour. Danielle would have been the first one to tell you that this method would not work but, after 20 years of putting it to use in daycare and school settings, she is in a good position to now see the positive results in helping children manage their emotions and maintain their mental health in a good way when they get into their adult years.
