If your mornings feel like a logistical nightmare and every week brings new arguments over the same unsolved problems, you're not alone. Between school pickups, work meetings, and trying to keep everyone on schedule, it's easy for families to fall into patterns of conflict and power struggles. But what if there was a proven, neuroscience-backed system that could reduce fighting, build connection, and actually teach your kids (and spouse) problem-solving skills?

In this episode, I'm sitting down with Tia Graham, a Certified Chief Happiness Officer, bestselling author, and expert in the science of happiness. Tia shares the collaborative problem-solving method that transformed her own family, especially when traditional parenting tactics weren't working. 

Whether you're dealing with morning meltdowns, bedtime battles, or recurring disagreements with your partner, this framework will help you stop the cycle of frustration and start building stronger, more connected relationships at home.

In This Episode, We'll Cover:

• Why traditional parenting methods (rewards, consequences, timeouts) often make things worse
• The three-step collaborative problem-solving framework
• How to identify unsolved problems versus focusing on behaviors
• The importance of letting solutions be a compromise, not all your way
