Chaos to Connected - Helping Parents Navigate Challenging Behavior with Connection; motherhood, behavior management, parent c

Do you feel like your child’s whining and tantrums are out of control? Are you wondering if what you’re seeing is actually normal? Do you feel like you are at your wits end, walking on eggshells, and/or just don’t know what to do anymore? Or maybe you feel exhausted and frustrated trying to manage your own triggers because you keep repeating the same yelling and lecturing cycle over and over again. Are you desperately trying to get your child to use a calming strategy but he/she refuses or it’s just not working? If you nodded along with any of that, you’re in the right place!Hi, I’m Kaili, pediatric occupational therapist, connection focused parent coach, and momma to 3 sweet littles. Back in 2020, I started an in-home daycare so I could stay home with my kids while making an income and let’s just say it didn’t go as planned. My oldest became very aggressive, something he had never been before. I tried all of the calming strategies and creating different spaces for him and NONE of it worked. I was really struggling because that is all I had been teaching other families to do for the last decade and to find out it wasn’t helping left me feeling even more hopeless.When I finally found the solution that transformed our family’s lives, I knew I needed to share it with other families in hopes they wouldn’t feel alone, emotionally exhausted, and spend their days wishing for naptime/bedtime like I had been.I created this podcast to give you tangible strategies to decrease your child’s behavior and also help you to learn to manage and resolve your own triggers. This podcast will help you gain more awareness and insights into child development and the root cause of your child’s behavior as well as help you break generational patterning that isn’t serving you.Inside this podcast you will find episodes filled with tips, tools, perspective shifts, and biblical truth to help you throughout your motherhood journey. Most of what I share is going to go against your natural responses and what mainstream will tell you to do, but that is because it includes what most of society is missing when they look at children and their behavior…CONNECTION. It is a vital necessity for all of us to operate out of our thinking brains and use logic, problem solving, reasoning, judgment, and impulse control, specifically when it comes to our responses and behaviors. While these strategies can be implemented for all ages, I focus primarily on 1-10 year olds since that is what I have most personal and professional experience with. If you want to stop feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and on the verge of your breaking point and truly make shifts in your parenting, your actions, thoughts, and responses, to gain more clarity, peace, and joy in your home, then let’s get to it!I know it can feel hard to step into the unknown, especially because you feel like you’ve tried it all, and honestly sometimes it feels easier to stay in a harder place because it’s familiar. But it’s not what God has for you or your child(ren). So take a minute, breathe deeply, and then join me as we jump into managing behaviors with connection!XO KailiConnect with me: hello@kailizcoaching.comInstagram: @kaili.zeiherJoin my weekly newsletter: https://chaostoconnected.myflodesk.com/cvuin24b94Website + Coaching Opportunities: https://stan.store/KJZ112815

    5 million stars!
    I am a very young mom and recently added another addition to my crew. The adjustment from one to two has been quite difficult for me. I’ve recently been having an extremely hard time regulating myself and navigating motherhood on top of trying to heal myself. This podcast is truly so uplifting. I love how faith is incorporated into this. Every aspect of this podcast is beyond amazing. I just wanted to say thank you! A million times, thank you. 🤎

    Not just for moms
    I’m a proud dad of 2 girls. My family struggles with many of the situations you cover. I’m thankful to have found a podcast like this I can actually hear without getting distracted by comments that differ strongly from my beliefs. Thank you!

    Special Time 🤯
    I found Kaili through Kingdom Motherhood Society, where she was a guest on one of the Zoom calls. When I tell you that learning from Kaili about “Special Time” has transformed my relationship with my children. We have 7 children between the ages of 1 and 10. This is exactly what we needed to deeper our connections with each of them individually. Thank you, Kaili! I know that Jesus put you in my path during the perfect timing. What a treasure you have been to our family.

    Fantastic information!
    My mom is a pediatric OT and I am a family based therapist. I’ve learned how vital this information is in helping kids and parents. I highly recommend Kaili’s podcast!

    Excellent parenting podcast
    I’ve learned so incredibly much about parenting through Kaili’s weekly episodes. Having a weekly episode helps keep the parenting tools I want to use in the forefront of my mind to help me practice throughout the week. Her expertise is very insightful and offers a great perspective on how importance connection is, not with just children but to everyone in our lives.

    Best Podcast for OTR’s!
    As an OTR navigating my first year as a clinician, I couldn’t be more grateful to have stumbled upon the Chaos to Connected podcast. This will no doubt be my new go-to podcast for daily commutes! Between the clinical knowledge and the personal experiences that Kaili shares, this is a great resource for both parents and providers alike. I can’t wait to share this podcast not only with my colleagues but also with families searching for ways to promote regulation and connection. For any new or even experienced clinician interested in learning more to better serve the children and families you work with, this podcast is 100% worth the listen!!

    Helpful and relatable
    I found Kaili on Instagram and was really excited to see she has a podcast. Her education and experience as an OT and her training as a Hand in Hand coach is the perfect mix for the behavior we are experiencing with my kids. She also is a mom in many of the same situations so you know she is practicing what she teaches. A must listen!

    Empowering information!
    Chaos to Connected has been such a helpful, empowering podcast for me during this season of motherhood. It has provided practical, loving advice that helps me feel less alone on this journey and is highly effective with my children. I especially appreciate the length of the podcasts, as they are full of great information that I can actually make time for in my day!

    A must listen for parents!
    I love Kaili’s practical advice and strategies! She makes you feel normal but also gives you awesome tools on what to do to get connected with your kids and stay connected through conflict! I love that I can easily fit in her episodes, yet they are packed with value!

    Real Life Application
    I’m so thankful to have come across this podcast. Kaili’s insight into how we feel as parents and how our children feel have grown my relationship with my kids. I have a highly sensitive daughter and it took me a long time to realize what she needed until I listened to this podcast and followed along on Instagram. So many times we are told what not to do with little guidance on what to do instead or how to apply that to real life but these podcast episodes give example you can add into everyday. I am not able to implement these practices everyday with both of my kids to help feel connected together. Such a blessing!

    Real, raw, and truth filled - for all moms to relate to.
    This podcast has not only helped in learning how to manage my children’s behaviors from a loving yet still authoritative approach… but has also helped ME in so many ways. It’s brought light to how I respond and am triggered and can work on myself, too, rather than trying to correct only my children. Kaili is amazing and gives such relatable scenarios with simple to implement practices and strategies. I love her approach and have learned so much from this podcast. Thank you!

    Connected and Calm
    I’m a mother of two wonderful kiddos, one of which has Sensory Processing Disorder. We’ve been in and out of occupational therapy offices and I never learned about “special time” or calming techniques until I found Kaili’s podcast. Kaili is a licensed Occupational Therapist and mom of two, so her tips and encouragement not only come from a place of education, but of understanding. No matter where you are on your parenting/grandparenting/special adult in a child’s life journey, Kaili’s advice is incredibly helpful and easy to implement! Thank you, Kaili, for all of the information you share. You’ve helped our family so much! ❤️
