Many people are raised with less-than-ideal parental role models. This background and baggage doesn't mean you can't embrace positive parenting methods to become the best role model for your kids.
Today's guest is Maria Riegger, a corporate and banking attorney and parenting coach and expert. Maria shares her journey to learn the best parenting methods to build trust, cultivate healthy parent-child relationships, and become the parent she wished she had as a child. Maria's focus is to help parents overcome the negative patterns of their childhood to become amazing parents with a strong bond and connection with their children. Building this bond early in life helps parents and children navigate the challenging adolescent years and still stay connected and able to communicate.
Maria discusses the importance of reparenting oneself and offers insights into providing emotional support and validation to children. She also delves into her passion for writing, how it served as an escape during her difficult childhood, and how she turned it into a career, with both fiction and nonfiction books under her belt. She highlights her parenting books, which incorporate spirituality and astrology, providing positive parenting advice for parents of children with specific energies. Tune in to this practical and inspiring episode as Maria shares her wisdom on redefining parenting and becoming the best versions of ourselves for our children.
About the Guest:
Maria Riegger is based in the Washington, DC area. Trained as a banking/corporate attorney (but please don't hold that against her), she is now an author and parenting expert. Maria is a Gemini whose head has always been in the clouds.
From a young age, she was scolded for not paying attention. When she was bored, she would make up stories in her head. She has been writing since she was about thirteen years old. A rocky childhood, including the death of a parent, led Maria to consider how to be a better parent in a crazy world.
In short, more laughs and positive connections and less dictating and criticizing. Parents should parent with the child's particular needs in mind, rather than the parents' ego needs. An irreverent Gen X’er, in addition to parenting books, Maria writes gritty contemporary romance and romantic suspense, with plenty of sarcasm.
