615: Your Child Is A GIFT. How Big? HUGE...

Parenting In The Thick Of It with Louise Clarke ·

2022/12/12

I think it safe to say that all parents see their child as a gift, however, just how big a gift they really see them as, might be a tad underestimated. If you have a strong-willed or controlling child, a child who doesn't listen, one who procrastinates or forgets things, one who is sensitive or anxious perhaps, in fact, any make up at all, the gift in this, for us having to deal with it, is HUGE. But only if we are brave, courageous and bold enough to see it for what it really is. If you want to

614: Look Out… Your Kids Are Watching You!

Parenting In The Thick Of It with Louise Clarke ·

2022/12/02

We spend so much time worrying about the fact our kids don’t listen to us, yet rarely do we stop and ask ourselves, “How good am I at listening”? The braver we can be in admitting that sometimes our behaviour as parents might be questionable, the better we can become at raising our bars. When we can do this, things truly change for the better.

Parenting In The Thick Of It with Louise Clarke ·

2022/11/10

For me, this is my number one goal in parenting. I think that it is one of THE, if not the most important thing we can hope to do, try to do more, and become really good at. Realistically, I don’t think it is possible to never lose your shit – we are human after all. However, if you want to get better at this and hone the skills needed to do it well, then this one is for you. Do make sure you listen to episode 611 first though. And next time, I will be talking about what to do when you’ve lost your

No matter what you do, you end up losing it! You keep calm for so long and boom... you snap. If you are a regular listener of the show you'll know that I don't believe it's your kids who trigger you! Their behavior in the moment ignites a previous emotional experience within you (the actual trigger) from when you were a child where you were not seen, heard, understood, made to feel you were good enough or matter or a combination thereof. LONG story... so what do you do? In this episode I talk about

It is all too easy to get drawn into an argument with your child, however, it rarely works. Actually, I might go as far as saying that it NEVER works. So, what typically happens when this occurs in your home? Do you: A: Argue Back B: Take it Personally C: Shout and Get Mad D: Right the Right to be Right E: All of the Above? In the show today, I discuss what we should do and how when we do this we will remain connected to our kids versus becoming reactive and disconnecting from them. Curious? Tune

2022/09/19

What do you do when your kid refuses to see things through the same lens as you? They come up with all sorts of crazy ideas and reasons to try and get their way because the bottom line is usually this: they don’t want rules and limits regarding their internet use and they know themselves just how addicted they are to their phones so anyone who tells them to get off them is a threat to their very existence. Their phones are their lifelines so how do we get our kids to drink our tech plan Kool-Aid

“Controlling” our kid’s media diets through limiting their mobile data is fast becoming a thing of the past. So how on earth do we hope to do it when so many of the plans are all inclusive and unlimited? I’m going to be 100% honest here and say that it’s hard and the older your kids are, the harder it’s going to be. Period. There are, however, ways to do it and in today’s episode, I discuss them all.

Are you a good negotiator? Have you actually ever thought about it related to parenting? The bottom line is this: being really good at negotiating is an extremely useful skill to have in your parenting toolbox. In this episode, I discuss this, the importance of negotiating, scheduling and accounting for your child’s time in relation to how many potential hours there actually are for being online. And the rules. Yes, there have to be rules! I think that these three steps are genius and oh so helpful

Do not oversee the first three episodes in this series in order to get to the solution, you need it all.

Welcome to my podcast book club series on the book The Tech Diet for your Child and Teen by Brad Marshall. How many hours are too many? How will I know what the signs are? These are tough questions to answer and when all is said and done, some parents panic too soon whilst others don’t panic soon enough. In this chapter (5), the author discusses 5 key developmental milestones that kids simply must meet. When one or two of these 5 domains get compromised, the result is not good, and it snowballs

Parenting In The Thick Of It with Louise Clarke ·

2022/07/05

For this generation, social media is HUGE and I feel it has got to the point where they can’t live without it but at the same time, are struggling to live with it. It hooks them in and creates anxiety for them when they are in it, chasing perfection and constantly comparing themselves to others. And at the same time, they are anxious when they are off it for the fear it creates of missing out. FOMO is rampant. So how do we manage it? We have to understand it. And then there’s the video games and

Parenting In The Thick Of It with Louise Clarke ·

2022/06/28

When I asked my son to describe his generation, he came up with “Generation NOW” which I found fascinating. He went on to say “mum, we can’t wait for anything because we are so used to getting everything NOW!”. I actually think it’s such an appropriate description. Generation Smartphone is also a great name because it says it all and the speed at which smartphones have totally changed how we live is scary.

In this digital age, there is one thing that has fast become the scarcest commodity… and it begins with A. Being able to manage this is, without a shadow of doubt, one of the most important skills kids today must develop. And because of this, we have lost our capacity to tolerate solitude. The knock-on effects of it are far-reaching and not good. I hope I have piqued your interest and that you will tune in and find out. Trust me, you will not regret becoming aware of this.

Are you aware of the stories you create about your child and their behavior? And do you realize that whatever the situation is that it’s not the situation that causes you to react but the story you tell yourself about it? When I actually understood this, it made dealing with any crazy and not so good situations I faced with my kids waaaayyyy better. Whether positive or negative, the story we create about it is the biggest influence and therefore the biggest predictor of how we can respond. Curious

If you’re raising a strong-willed child, you likely experience so many emotions on a daily basis: you love your kid deeply and you want the world for them… it’s just that their out-of-control behavior can be so overwhelming and frustrating. You simultaneously want to connect with your child yet at the same time, dread your time together. And you are at your wit’s end. Okay, I understand, honestly, I do.

597: Do You Find It Hard to Accept “Bad” Behavior?

2022/05/31

I think that this might be one of the hardest things to have to do as a parent. When everything is telling you to fight against the bad behavior or poor choice in behavior, that you need to accept it… are you kidding me? No! “But it doesn’t make sense” I hear you say. “I’m sorry, I can’t accept it!” If you want to change anything, fighting it will not work so the only alternative is to first accept it.

Off the back of the pandemic, I’m sure there are few parents who have not felt some form of overwhelm. I certainly have. However, I have worked out how to deal with it and stop it from building to a point where it sucks the joy from my life. If you are frustrated, overwhelmed, and running on empty with chaos on your heels like a loyal pet then you must listen to this. It will give you some practical ideas as to how to navigate the chaos and reduce the overwhelm. Tune in… FOLLOW ME ONLINE
