2021/03/21

It can be difficult as a parent to know whether your child is meeting milestones at the right time, particularly when it comes to speech. Some children are just late starters and can take a while to utter their first word, while others seem like born broadcasters! So how do you know if you should wait or seek professional advice? Sarah and Mel share their experiences and the challenges around knowing what to do.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We all try our best to make sure we're teaching our kids to be kind and polite, but let's be honest, they're not always going to be perfect angels! We are all learning and making mistakes. But when they misbehave in front of others, or even worse, do something to a friend's child, it feels terrible. It's hard not to feel responsible for their behaviour, but in reality, there's only so much you can do - they are their own little beings!

2021/03/17

Becoming a parent often means your anxiety reaches a whole new level. With newborns we worry that they’re eating and sleeping enough, growing, meeting milestones. Then they head to daycare and school and you worry that they’re being taken care of, making friends, being kind. Now, imagine being able to take those anxious feelings and make them work for you. Dr Jodie Lowinger is a clinica; psychologist and founder of The Anxiety Clinic in Sydney, and she’s just released a fascinating new book called

That show was Bluey, and in 2019, that’s how their podcast

That desire for perfection can start to drive you mad after a while. Trying to be the perfect mum, the perfect boss, the perfect co-worker, sister, partner, ugh!

Do you ever feel like you constantly say ‘no’ to your kids? My daughter has just started telling me that’s all I say, and I feel like I’m constantly replying with ‘you’re too little to do whatever you want’. But what if you just said ‘yes’. 'Yes' you can do whatever you want. Would it make life easier or would you ultimately raise spoilt brats? Jennifer Garner and Edgar Ramirez star in a new film just released on Netflix called 'Yes Day' and the mum-of-three caught up with us about the hard ‘no’s’
