2021/11/25

Children who find their voice have a strong sense of who they are, are able to stand up for themselves, can express their views without fear, are respectful of others, accept differences, and as a result are well-liked by their peers. I believe, as parents, we should all be striving to raise children with a voice as all these character traits are key to living an adult life confidently and compassionately.In this podcast episode I share my top five strategies and a great free resource to help you

Fear - How It Stops Our Children from Being Their...

How Not to Screw Up Your Kids ·

2021/11/18

Broadly speaking I would put fear into two categories. The fear which is real and the fear which we perceive.Perceived fear occurs when we encounter a situation which feels overwhelming. We imagine all manner of scenarios which don’t bode well. We are in no real life threatening or immediate danger but our body reacts as though it were. Our fight, flight or freeze mechanism is activated.This type of fear holds us and our children back from reaching our full potential. So, in this episode I get super

This might be something you are right in the middle of, something you think might be coming, or you are simply listening because you want to be there for a friend or someone in your family. Either way I am glad you’re here and I hope you find it useful.Let’s start by taking away any guilt or judgement you might be harbouring.

2021/10/27

A recent survey by the NHS found that 29% of six to 10-year-olds had trouble sleeping on three or more nights in the previous week. Problems getting to sleep, waking in the night or waking early were even more common among older children, affecting 38% of 11- to 16-year-olds and the majority – 57% – of young people aged 17 to 23.To me, it’s no wonder we have rising numbers of mental health challenges with sleep data like this!!!I want this episode to be super practical and informative so you can

Raising Compassionate Children

The world has never felt more divisive. Globally we have the hugely divisiveness of political views, whether this relates to vaccination, climate change or in the United Kingdom the whole division which was created around Brexit.Extremism and radical views aren’t born, they are made and when we live in a society in which we either consciously or unconsciously place people into groups or give them labels we are in real danger of dehumanising people.How does this relate to compassion and children I

If you’re anything like me, you have probably read a dozen books in an attempt to get your children to do more of what you ask.
