18.01.2022 EMOTIONAL FIRST AID YOU KNOW at the end of the day we all Share the same needs. HUMAN NEEDS. As children and as adults.... We aren't all that different . Something we all seek is CONNECTION. We all want others to see us,to know how we feel and to hear us. No matter what the problem is, it helps to know someone else cares. Knowing someone cares goes a long way to making us feel better. I call this EMOTIONAL FIRST AID. When you meet someone in their moment of pain or distress. You see their pain. You don't have to fix it. You just need to see it.State it and empathise with it. FOCUS ON THEIR FEELINGS. Being heard and validated is powerful. LISTENING is POWERFUL. Saying I HEAR YOUR PAIN is POWERFUL. LETS LISTEN MORE AND HEAR MORE. See more

16.01.2022 Learn to listen with your heart to your young child's pain. Learn to be there and to give them the time and space to release and process those difficult emotions. This teaches them to turn to you when they get older. This teaches them that you are able to help them through anything they face in life. It starts from birth. Walking beside them as they grow....

10.01.2022 How do you create CONNECTION with your teen? We all know FEELING CONNECTED is so important for our mental health. TEENS are no exception.We need to stay connected with them. It often seems a bit easier to create connection with younger kids.... What works for one seems to work for others. TEENS tend to be a bit more challenging and require some more creative tactics! Teens by their very nature are working on becoming more independent. But while they work at their independence,they still need connection to their Parents. It's still important to reach out to them. Sometimes the connection will need to be alot more subtle. Small gestures such as sitting with them to watch tv , or just putting their feet on your lap while they scroll through their phones are meaningful ways to connect. Playing games pretending your hands are puppets talking to eachother, doing tik toks together,playing card games ,cooking together are great ways to connect. Even taking on different character voices and role playing can be great for Teens. Your teenager will probably invite you to connect if you watch for the signs . As I write this post,my daughter is asking me to watch her tik tok . So I better go! Xx midwifejolucy

06.01.2022 The practice of LISTENING is so powerful. When Children are expressing and offloading their upset feelings , through crying and raging.... We are often triggered into trying to stop the tears. We distract , we offer solutions , we hush them and tell them to stop crying. We might get them to suck a pacifier or offer them food.... Their distress is hard to accept. But , just like us , when we are upset ....what actually helps is someome to LISTEN . The understanding that LISTENING is the POWERFUL TOOL will completely change the way you respond to upset feelings. If you can stay quiet , still and hold space , allowing your Child to work all the way through to the end of their release .... you allow them to move past their distress and heal their pain. The result is a Child who feels heard , validated , loved and who knows their Parent is comfortable with all their emotions. Happy and sad. As well as a child who is calmer and healthier because they are able to regulate so much better. Have you tried truely LISTENING when your child has upset feelings?

04.01.2022 Sleeping is a natural process. Your Baby is programmed for sleep. If your Baby is not sleeping something is getting in the way. Babies need to feel relaxed and connected to you ,as well as tired before they sleep. Listening to your Baby release the stress that builds up from daily life through crying,helps your Baby feel relaxed, and build connection to you.... If your Baby is crying whenever it is sleep time that is normal. Your Babys' body responds to stress hormones by crying.Your Baby has an amazing system inbuilt to maintain health and survive. If your Baby cries every time you start to get her ready for bed..this is her natural process.Don't try to stop it. Instead.. Listen , hold still , tell her you are hearing her. She will cry untill she is feeling relaxed. Because without this release she finds it hard to sleep. [email protected] See more
03.01.2022 It can be hard to come up with a different strategy or way to manage a Childs' challenging behaviour . What I have used and now suggest to Carers is to follow the RASCAL acronym. Changing the way you respond to challenging behaviour Can really make a difference .... Being consistent is easier if you have a plan to follow. If you feel like this could be useful..why not try and follow this for a couple of days and see if it makes s difference? [email protected] See more
02.01.2022 The thing about behaviourist based parenting strategies that we have grown up with and many still accept, is that they create pain and disconnection. Time out, Punishments Harsh consequences... Rewards Withdrawal of attention Threats Critisising Shaming These types of strategies are based on causing disconnection, with the aim of coersing children to behave in a certain way. On the surface you might see behaviour change...but this comes at a serious cost to the parent / child relationship. This type of parenting makes the assumption that children are born imperfect and we need to make them "good". AWARE PARENTING reframes this idea and opens up the possibilty that children are born connectors and cooperators. Social beings who are perfect and capable of great goodness and love. And our role as parents is simply to trust and honour their goodness. Support ,connection and nurture over punishment and shame.

02.01.2022 Social change starts at home. PARENT FOR SOCIAL CHANGE Making even small changes must contribute to a MORE PEACEFUL WORLD. Instead of punishment try understanding. Instead of threats,try empathy... Instead of TIME OUT try TIME IN. And be extra COMPASSIONATE with YOURSELF. Because the way you treat yourself IS THE MOST IMPORTANT example of RESPECT you provide to your Children. Midwife Jo Aware Parenting Practice Ballarat See more

01.01.2022 Children are amazing for their ability to try and get whatever it is they need. If they need attention they will perform all sorts of actions to receive it. If they are hungry they will cry or go to the fridge or keep asking for food until they get it. If they need to release some painful feelings,they will find a way for you to set a limit for them or create another reason to have a big cry. If they need more connection,they might want to sleep in your bed with you.... They are in touch with what they need. Trust them. Midwifejolucy Aware Parenting Practice Ballarat
