25.01.2022 "I’ve been thinking about our challenge, as mothers, to rejoice in ourselves. To be pleased with ourselves. Really. Deeply. Without criticism or recrimination. To know that we are enough."

25.01.2022 Here in Australia, daylight savings end tomorrow. Good that we have the school holidays to adjust - just an hour's difference affects us quite significantly. "We all need time to adjust to daylight saving time but students and full-time workers might have a tougher time in the weeks after the changeover. So go easy on your kids and colleagues."

24.01.2022 This is an inspiring story of how young people get on with making the world a better place, spurred by the challenge of a pandemic.

24.01.2022 Hi all, is your child starting school next year? Here's a webinar I did, which might help you get ready.

22.01.2022 What to do when you first meet your little one? Listen. You might need to sweat while you do it, but it is the way through.

17.01.2022 Well, it's Father's Day here. This flew by my feed a couple of months ago - and OMG it could be about the tired husband in my house! So here's to all the tired husbands, especially the tired dads, and I hope today brings a little joy an life (even though my mother always dubbed the day a "capitalist conspiracy", which is probably true, but there's wood in them there trees! It's a day we can love and thank our daddies, even more than usual.)

15.01.2022 There is a very interesting, challenging conversation going on here in Australia about sexual consent, sexual harassment and abuse, and connected with that, the construction of masculinity. As a parent, I'm pretty sure you will find some of this discussion from our national broadcaster, the ABC, confronting. But it's a well structured discussion based on evidence, rather than an anxious rant. And the upshot of it is interesting: the key role parents have to play in shapin...g their children's understanding of consent and appropriate behaviours, and the need for parents to take steps to protect kids from exposure to porn. What is missing from the discussion, and is perhaps the next chapter of this unfolding saga, is how we can support parents to provide their children with the necessary guidance - to protect children, and to help children recover, from harm. Too often in these kind of conversations, it veers into blaming parents. And parents veer into self criticism, anxiety and feelings of powerlessness. At the very least, parents will need a place to vent their worries about all of this. As a parent, consider listening to this with another parent, then take a Listening Partnership on what comes up for you. That will help you respond to this crisis calmly, sympathetically, and decisively. It's a topic about which we will all have a lot of feelings, which tend to get in the way of thinking clearly. And clear thinking is what is needed in the face of this challenge. See more

11.01.2022 This is sooo sweet. Young people in charge, pushing themselves, and backing one another.

09.01.2022 Woah! Research suggests that 15% of girls are starting puberty at age 7 (and boys at 10). The researchers suggest early conversations with your kids, some books you can read together, and recommend a good dose of empathy. I'd add getting support for yourself - our own memories of early adolescence will be triggered by the changes in our children. Want help navigating the tween/teen years?

08.01.2022 Post Fathers Day here in Oz, was chatting to a young father-to-be in the gym today. "I'm not my usual self" he said. "My brain feels different, I just want to stay home with her." And waddaya know, there's a reason for that.

06.01.2022 Hi, I'm doing a webinar on Starting School - what are your worries for your child as you look towards the start of school - in the next few weeks, if you are in the northern hemisphere, and early next year, if you are here in the South! https://www.facebook.com/events/599547427406907/

04.01.2022 This article gives a great description of how you can tackle perfectionism in a child. It offers a pithy description of how you can use play to address the fears a child is struggling with when they feel they can't get things right. And how you can build resilience through Special Time rather than offering praise. https://www.handinhandparenting.org//when-things-dont-go-/

04.01.2022 Ahh yes! The sky!!!

03.01.2022 Are you having trouble with short separations from your child? It's normal, and there's plenty you can do about it to help. Here's a recent webinar I did. Feel free to book a short, free Consultation. I can get a picture of your particular parenting challenges, and recommend some resources and support.

03.01.2022 A funny take on a difficult problem. Thinking of those young people trying to celebrate the end of their high school in the middle of a pandemic.

02.01.2022 Funny! https://tinyview.com/fowl-language/2020-08-31-new-glasses

01.01.2022 I think it makes sense to take a flexible approach to most things in family life, with the big question being "what is the state of connection between me and my child?".

01.01.2022 Hey everyone, near where I live, they have a live stream of an Sea Eagle's nest. The Eagles have got chicks in the nest. ~Madeleine https://youtu.be/DDkEsoSy2Dw
