Are Parents Making This Big Mistake? | Parent Kid Coach Alpana Deo | American Bhau Podcast

In this episode of the American Bhau Podcast, I sit down with Alpana Deo — a certified Parent & Kids Life Coach, podcast host, and mother of two — to talk about one of the most important topics for every parent in the Marathi and Indian diaspora community: raising kids the right way, without losing yourself in the process. We cover everything from what parenting coaching actually is (hint: it's NOT the same as counseling), to why old-school desi parenting methods don't always work on our kids growing up in America — and what you can do instead. 🎙️ What We Talk About: What is a Parent & Kids Life Coach — and how is it different from counseling? Why parenting after COVID has changed forever The #1 mistake Indian parents make with their kids How to understand your child's emotions without overreacting Screen time battles — why timers alone don't work "To coach your kids, you need to coach yourself first" How Alpana works with BOTH parents and kids together Making parenting an adventure instead of a struggle 👤 About Alpana Deo: Alpana Deo is a certified Parent & Kids Life Coach, host of the "मनातलं आणि मनासारखं" Marathi Podcast, and founder of Mothers Gurukul.
