24.01.2022 It's true...we use a lot of the same tools to teach kids to eat regardless of their size. That's because the MOST important thing we can do as parents, is to he...lp our kids have a good relationship with food and avoid future eating disorders. Here are some of my top tools (and I’m giving you more tools in a surprise announcement below ): No pressure to eat or finish their plate Learn to listen to their bodies: - starting with very small portions - removing distractions from eating (screens, toys, etc.) - never praising or criticizing based on what they did or didn't eat Have a meal/snack routine - aim for a meal/snack every 2.5-4 hours (with no food and only water in between) Eat together for 20-30 minutes. Start with just a few minutes and work up to this with little ones! We started with 2 minutes. Don't discuss weight or weight loss with kids. Ask your pediatrician not to discuss weight in front of your child. Wondering about dessert? Yes, I highly recommend serving dessert a few times per week no matter what size a child is! And not as a bribe. For more tips on how to focus on feeding kids well without focusing on weight, my free child feeding guide is in my bio #kidseatincolor #familymeals #healthykids #childgrowth #childdevelopment #pediatricnutrition #pediatrics #failuretothrive #overweight #ftt #healthykids #feedingkids #childobesity #pickytoddler #pickyeater #pickyeaters #fussyeater #fussyeaters #picky #pickyeaterproblems #pickyeaterapproved #pickyeatersolution #positiveparenting #mindfulparenting #parentinghacks #parentingskills #parentsupport #parentinglife #parentingtips See more
16.01.2022 The cultural narrative around boys can be so damaging. Teach your boys it's OK to feel all the feelings and that they never have to show strength when they don't feel strong.
15.01.2022 Agreed! Thank you to Conscious Parents

10.01.2022 Children's development can be quite uneven, especially in the early years. Some kids concentrate on physical tasks first; others are joyous early readers at age... three. Some need to yell and jump endlessly. Others need to observe from a safe place. The whole child needs to be nourished and all aspects emotional, social, physical, and cognitive given a chance to develop at the child's unique pace.

06.01.2022 This is a great guide! The children have been very interested in enveloping recently, hiding under blankets and making their own tents. I have got a great new hidey hole and some torches for them to experiment with this week

04.01.2022 This is adorable - and I think I might be the feather duster in my situation
03.01.2022 I've seen a thing doing the rounds about the coke bottle effect. Those of us with neurodivergent children will be aware of this concept. It serves to explain wh...y teachers say our kids are "fine" or "had a really good day" and yet the second they get home (or sometimes even before we've left the school gates) they blow up in our face. In simplicity you imagine the child is a bottle of coke. Every time some thing stressful happens the bottle is shaken. Nothing much seems to change. But the bottle is shaken and shaken. The pressure builds and builds and then once home with their parents, in their safe space with their safe people, the lid comes off the bottle. All the shaking results in a lot of mess and try as you might, once the fizzing starts, the lid is next to impossible to get back on. In the example I've seen there's a boy going through his day and we think of the stressful things he goes through. My only criticism is that I think the things are too obvious, at one point he gets sent to the head teacher's office for being "naughty". So here's my take on the things that shake children up and down the land. Let's call the child Kate, Kate is autistic, school knows she's autistic and have measures in place to help. Kate goes to a mainstream primary school just like every other primary school up and down the land. Kate arrives at school. She's excited to build a Lego model during soft start. She's been planning it all morning. Only 3 children can play with the lego at once and Jack, Zoe and Anya got there first. Kate sits at her desk and draws a picture. Her teacher congratulates her on a beautiful picture. But it wasn't a Lego model. Shake the bottle. Kate does a maths quiz. She gets 9 out of 10. Her teacher says well done. Kate can't shake the feeling she should have got them all right. Shake the bottle. The classroom is loud, the sound of chairs scraping on the floor. Those children laughing. Kate has a pair of ear defenders. She wants to wear them. She knows she's allowed. But she knows it makes her look different. So she doesn't. Shake the bottle. At break time Kate is excited to see mummy gave her a cereal bar for snack when she usually has an apple. She'll forgive the change of snack because, you know, it has chocolate chips in it. 2 bites in a child bumps into her and it falls to the ground. Kate can't eat it now it's dirty, she tries to tell the playground assistant who tells her it is fine, just brush off the dirt, it was even in a packet. But she can't. Its contaminated. So she puts it in the bin. Shake the bottle. Twice. She was excited about the chocolate and now she's also hungry. Back in the class and David accidentally bumped into Kate when he was handing out some work. She wasn't expecting to be touched. Shake the bottle. Lunch time. Kate has ordered chicken goujons, chips and beans. On getting to the front of the queue she realises there's no beans but they have peas and sweet corn. She likes peas and sweet corn but they're mixed together and anyway, it's supposed to be beans. Shake the bottle. In the afternoon, Kate has to give a presentation about wind farms. She's passionate about this presentation, she's been researching hard and got to use the class chrome books to do it. She rattles off every fact in the world about wind farms. Her teachers don't notice the anxious wobble to her voice as Kate covers the anxiety with talking a LOT. She's congratulated for an illuminating presentation but Kate is tired and can't hear it. Shake the bottle. Andrea is asked to tidy away the pencils at the end of the day. Andrea puts the pencils in the pen pot. Kate really wants to say some thing but last time she said Andrea was doing it wrong she got a row for tattling. So Kate hurries round behind Andrea separating all the pencils out. And gets a row because she's supposed to be in her seat. Shake the bottle. Now shake it twice more because a school day is tiring even of you don't have any type of neurodivergency. Kate's teacher sends a quick message to mum saying "Kate had a great day, she got 9 out of 10 in our maths quiz and she did a brilliant presentation about windfarms. And she didn't need her ear defenders at all today". Mum collects Kate and says, "hey darling, how was your day?" And so the lid comes off. And it takes a long time to let out all the fizz. And it's just as messy as if it had been a literal bottle of coke.
