25.01.2022 Is ‘No’ you child’s favourite word at the moment? ‘No’ is a power word...And our kids love displaying their power... this is a good thing and it’s developmental. We want them to be assertive. It can be a bit annoying when our strong willed and assertive child constantly says no to EVERYTHING.... So what can we do. First step is not to be offended and feel rejected. They will see that it’s pushing your buttons and don’t put kids just love to do that lol. If it’s something they ‘have’ to do... then rephrase your question. ‘Can you do this by yourself or do you need help?’ When they say ‘no’ say ‘ok, I’ll help you’. Or ‘I know you don’t want to do that right now so I will help you so we can...’ No is a power word... No is developmental To really get your child to listen to you, first time... join us in the Child Whisperer Bootcamp head to www.kidsflourisheducation.com.au/childwhisperer

23.01.2022 Dr. Justin Coulson outlines three easy ways we can have happier families. The Daily Goalcast Speaker: Dr Justin Coulson's Happy Families

23.01.2022 Does your strong-willed child ‘always’ tests the boundaries? Well, if you are a parent of a strong-willed child, you already know that bribery and consequences just don’t seem to work. So what can you do instead? Pick your battles... Ask yourself - is it a big deal or a little deal? Sit down and reflect on the behaviours that are triggering you. Put a plan into action... pick 1 or 2 behaviours that you’re going to work on first. (we’ll be going into more detail on some proactive options on managing behaviour in our 3 Day Video Series - 3 Days to Calmer Kids - www.kidsflourisheducation.com.au/videoseries - we kick off next week!) Give choices Instead of ‘No’ rephrase it and let them know what they CAN do. Emotion coaching - this one’s a biggy and we’ll be doing a whole video on this in the 3 Days to Calmer Kids Series www.kidsflourisheducation.com.au/videoseries to join See more

22.01.2022 Children love anything silly, fun and funny. When we engage it this type of play with our children, we’re fostering connection. Often this might lead to overexcited, inappropriate behaviours. So what can we do? In my latest IGTV (https://www.instagram.com/tv/CGRnTuBgAnB/) I go into more detail about this. But here’s a quick snippet.... Name the feeling - ‘I can see you’re very excited.’ Set the boundary - ‘When we throw things, they break.’ Tell/show them the behaviour you want to see - ‘play with your toys gently.’ What’s a funny game that your kids love to play at the moment?

22.01.2022 Swipe to stop power battles in their tracks! Nobody likes to be told ‘no’ - Try to rephrase it to tell them what they CAN do As tempting as it is, don’t argue back. repeat the boundary and talk to them later when they’re calm.... Be consistent - if the child already knows that you’ll say no, because you’ve said it before... they probably won’t keep arguing. Hold your ground and it’ll get better there’s gold at the end of this rainbow

21.01.2022 When I was younger, I was riddled with anxiety I just didn’t know it. When I found out that there was a word for this feeling, I felt connected, understood and not alone anymore. How we talk to our kids is absolutely crucial in helping them understand their feelings. When they understand them, they learn to manage them better. They feel more secure in their friendships, who they are as a person and their schooling (whether that be at home or at school)... If you’ve been thinking about how to help your child with their emotions and the behaviour that is often linked to these, you’re in luck! Over the past few days, I've been trying to think about how I can best serve those of you who are home a lot more with your children and wondering how to help them handle their emotions better, because this is when we’ve got time to really connect with our kids (or because they are driving you up the wall). The answer was staring me in the face, I recently held a Masterclass related to Emotion Coaching and I thought This needs to be live so I can help you with your questions! With many of us house bound at present, it seems that it really is the perfect time to learn something new that will help the whole family FLOURISH. So next week (April 23rd at 1pm), I’ve got a FREE Parenting Workshop Helping your anxious child FLOURISH, to give you the tools to help your child with those BIG feelings that sometimes cause BIG behaviours. If you want to ease your family stress and learn something new, head to www.kidsflourisheducation.com.au/workshop to register... I know you'll find it useful.

15.01.2022 Some children seem so resilient, while others often display negative behaviours from the same issue. Why? Simple.... Every child is different and reacts differently to problems. If you have more than one child, you can already see that it’s got nothing to do with how you parent. It’s just that some kids need a different approach. The world right now is crazy, and I know that MANY people close to me are finding themselves with more time on their hands and more stress thanks to government business shutdowns, everyone locked inside, job losses.. and more children are processing all of this as well, in their way. So, I’m running a 100% FREE Workshop all about giving your kids the tools to manage their feelings, process big changes and to teach you how to work WITH your child to get to the bottom of their behaviours. This workshop will be held online (of course) at 1pm next Thursday the 23rd of April. If you can’t make it online, a replay will be sent out, only to those that REGISTERED.

10.01.2022 Wellbeing and behaviour are linked. When a child is well, they want to do well and please. When we set loving boundaries and limits on certain behaviours, we are improving the wellbeing of our child. ... I’m here to help. What behaviours do you want to see improved to help you household be a calmer place? Calm parents = calm kids! What area do you want to see the change in? not listening? tantrums? power battles making transitions easier e.g from house to car seat, from bath to bed, from screen to play? calmer happier kids (and parents)? pop them down in the comments or send me a DM

09.01.2022 How I FINALLY got my child to listen to me... At night time, there is usually a lot of excitement in my house. Dad comes home, there’s a bit of play and some boredom due to mum and dad wanting to wind down. So after bath time the little guy just wants to run around the house, naked... because that’s his favourite lol. ... So pyjama time was always a bit tough, Abel just didn’t want to stay still. He just wanted to play. I valued that need for a long time. We made a bit of a game of it. But now, mama is tired. Mama is 7 months pregnant and well, can’t be effed running after him So I reflected, I tried to make him, I asked for help from my husband... all this worked ok. But didn’t meet my little guys needs so something had to change. He needed to run. I needed his PJs on. How were we going to meet both our needs. By looking at the behaviour from this lens, I was able to come up with calm solution that suited everybody. Abel runs, I get his PJs out and a book a bit earlier. He comes to me for some block building or reading (connection time) and as we’re connecting the PJs go on without a fuss. What do you really NEED to change in your home? I bet it’s got something to do with your child listening to you. In our Bootcamp, I work with you on something that you need help with from your kids so you ALL get your needs met. The main part is 3 x 30 minute workshops (replays available) that’s 1.5 hours of your whole week, to get you kids to listen to you. IMAGINE THE TIME YOU’LL SAVE! I bet if you added up all that extra time, trying to get your kids just to cooperate with you over a week it would be longer than that. So what are you waiting for?

03.01.2022 It’s so hard not to dive in and ‘fix’ any problems our kids have. Honestly, even as a teacher, it’s been a practice not to do this for my students too. There’s a certain ‘zone of proximal development’ where the problem is the perfect balance between too hard and too easy. This is the learning zone. The zone where they are supported, just enough to learn how to problem solve. ... We want to give our kids lots of time in this zone when they’re learning a new skill... and as they improve the zone changes. Problem solving is a skill that builds resilience and needs to be taught. So guiding our children and supporting them in this zone is important for building independence. So how do you begin to help your child problem solve independently? Write a list of ideas, getting input from the child and maybe coming up with some of your own. Writing it down can be powerful, even if your child can’t read yet. pick 1 or 2 you’re going to try. refer to it when the problem comes up again. It’s an awesome idea to stick it on the fridge if it’s an ongoing problem or behaviour that you want to change. Remember that learning an appropriate behaviour is still a skill.

01.01.2022 Our mindset is everything... when our children are having a hard time it’s not because.... of something you did wrong. it’s not because of something you didn’t do.... it’s not because you could do something better. This year, make your New Years resolution to forgive yourself, to let things go (no more mum guilt please) and to breathe through it when you child is expressing their big feelings. Happy New Year!
