    Co-Parenting with Elaine & David: Real Strategies to Improve Family Dynamics

    Co-Parenting with Elaine & David: Real Strategies to Improve Family Dynamics

    David Taylor-Klaus reintroduces Successful Entrepreneurs and Senior Executives to their families. A serial entrepreneur, David is recognized for combining candor, intelligence, and humor with masterful coaching. He challenges leaders and their teams to reach their highest levels of performance in their professional and personal lives.
    David has lived with depression and ADHD for most of his life giving him a deep understanding of, and compassion for, the neurodivergence that is so common among entrepreneurs and maverick leaders.
    When David’s life work is done, no entrepreneur nor maverick leader will need to experience what he did: standing on the proverbial bridge wondering how they ever got so lost …
    David and his wife Elaine (also a best-selling author and professional coach), are "up-until-COVID empty-nesters" now living in the heart of Atlanta with their two dogs and an ever-changing array of their three children. Their life is rich and full!
    His best-selling book “Mindset Mondays with DTK: 52 Ways to REWIRE Your Thinking and Transform Your Life" is available on Amazon.

    Listen to this Parenting With Impact episode with David Taylor-Klaus about ADHD, co-parenting, and coaching.

    Parenting is Leadership
    Parenting is a leadership opportunity. With the "Parenting is Leadership" Guide from ImpactParents, two frameworks and a dozen core competencies will guide you to up-level your parenting... and improve the most important relationships of your life.

    Here is what to expect on this week’s show:
    David emphasizes the importance of talking to your children about everything and allowing them to share their thoughts and feelings openly.
    David and Elaine stress practicing active listening instead of constantly directing or correcting. Stay curious about their thoughts and experiences without imposing your own agenda. This helps build trust and strengthens the parent-child relationship.
    David and Elaine understand parenting, especially in a collaborative manner, requires significant time, effort, energy, and attention. It's essential to prioritize self-care and recharge your own resources to effectively support your children in their growth and development.

Not enough words to thank these great resources

I just realized I already left a review!!! I love this program and website so much as well as the podcast!! I will edit this after there are more episodes. I have been educating myself on parenting, parenting children with special needs, parenting differently than I was raised basically since my oldest was born (almost 9 years ago). I started looking things up online, reading books, articles, listening to podcasts, more recently attending webinars and taking various courses. All the articles from these women and their writings have helped me so much! I can not thank them enough…. There’s a few others that come to mind when I think about the amount of gratitude for teaching me the most - Dan Siegel & Tina Payne Bryson, Ross Greene, Susan Stiffelman, Rebecca Eanes just to name a few. I will add more later, but thank you!! I can’t tell you how happy I am to hear that there’s a podcast!! Tina

Great info for parents

As the dad of a six year old boy with ADHD, this podcast touches on so many things our family is wrestling with every single day. Great resources and awesome way to learn new ideas and find out about other resources out there that might help the parent of a neurodiverse kid.
