25.01.2022 I spend lots of time in consultations speaking about children of all ages learning from what they see! This relates to every area of interaction with them from discipline to nurturing reslience and much more. This article has a great take on this idea and really looks holistically at the issue! https://www.inc.com//want-to-raise-successful-kids-psychol

23.01.2022 Through the pressure every parent puts on themselves that they could be better or different - this is a good reminder!

22.01.2022 Board games were a staple of my family's life growing up and now that I think about it, formed some of my fondest memories! One of the questions I am often asked in what parents can do to help their children build skills of regulation, social thinking, and decision making outside of school and therapy. One of my most common answers talks about board games. This list is great - you may just find a new family ritual! https://nurtureandthriveblog.com/best-board-games-for-kids/

22.01.2022 When parents with teens come to see me, the number one issue I see is that communication has broken down. This quote resonated with me and aligns with some of the techniques I provide parents of teens to re-establish a positive relationship with their child.

19.01.2022 Could never have foreseen how this year would go - this quote fits my feelings nicely!!

17.01.2022 This very charming article was written during the last lockdown in Victoria and gave the idea of a sigh as one of the ways to manage and parent through! I find it just as relevant the second time when in some ways, many of the parents I speak to are doing it even tougher! As a bonus, it has a some nice video advice from Maggie Dent too! http://www.essentialkids.com.au//power-of-a-sigh-the-simpl

14.01.2022 Screens have never been more crucial in the lives of teenagers. They link them in many cases to almost everything that matters. It is something that parents speak to me about regularly and we discuss the line between usual screen socialisation and study ( emphasised by COVID restrictions) and when it becomes unhealthy. This recently published study made for interesting reading! https://www.sydney.edu.au//compulsive-internet-use-by-teen

13.01.2022 A lovely reminder - so powerful!

12.01.2022 We hear a lot and talk even more about ways to promote the bond between a mother and her new baby. Often we forget that dads too need time and space to bond and ways to do this. This is an excellent resource about the importance and benefit of the father-baby bond. https://www.romper.com/p/father-baby-bonds-are-more-profoun

12.01.2022 I work with a lot of families to help them navigate their child’s behaviour. This is a great article about confronting negative behaviour and how timing and tone is everything. https://imperfectfamilies.com/kids-dont-talk-about-wrong-/

11.01.2022 There are certain things that it is easy to assume are one reality or another. This is rarely true. I loved this quote about siblings of those with special needs which points to and identifies the complexities of such a relationship. At the same time, it's importance is underlined and not to be underestimated.

10.01.2022 Many parents I talk to are fed up of being told how their child is an angel in school or child care but the parents see a different side of them at home. I always try to reassure them that this isn't a bad thing and here is why!

08.01.2022 True in a multitude of ways for a multitude of parents but the principle on which I try to base my practice always

07.01.2022 Ariella Lew shines a spotlight on Bullying

06.01.2022 Puberty is an inevitable part of life and yet often catches parents and children alike unawares. This is more the case than ever now that signs and symptoms are being seen in younger people than ever before! Here are some great tips on how to support your child through this tricky stage. https://www.kqed.org//how-to-help-kids-manage-early-puberty

05.01.2022 It was a pleasure to be interviewed by Annie Bucknall from Mindful Parenting Magazine about toddlers!

04.01.2022 Anyone else's patience been pushed to the limit lately?

04.01.2022 In the past few weeks I have found myself using the word mindfulness in consultations more than ever. I think some of the practices that go with it can be helpful for calming a child's anxiety as well as for helping with many of the behaviour regressions I am seeing at the moment. Obviously mindfulness for children can be practiced differently to adults - here are some lovely tips!

03.01.2022 As the effects of COVID-19 continue to be a predominant topic of concern and conversation and no one is exempt, there are some of who having to adjust more than others. For those VCE students and anyone looking to the next year and the next stage of life, this is a challenging time. I was struck by the compassion and honesty in this article and hope it's perspective may help someone! https://doingdrugs-darta.blogspot.com//covid-19-restrictio

02.01.2022 In my practice, parents of teens and pre teens are more and more often bringing up a concern over their child’s gaming habits. This article is a great resource for parents, looking at the myriad of factors around gaming and when it tips into unhealthy levels of use. https://www.abc.net.au//worried-your-kid-is-gamin/11600594

01.01.2022 You can never get more powerful than hearing first hand someone's experience. What a beautiful poem from a parent of a child with additional needs. In my experience these parents are often assumed to feel and behave in certain ways but many of them are among the most remarkable I have been privileged to work with!
