25.01.2022 There is a strong relationship between attachment style and the capacity of a young person to be resilient during difficult times. This is the reason why I am such a big advocate of the Circle of Security Parenting program. If we, as parents, can foster secure attachments with our children, we are setting them for positive self esteem, the capacity to trust in others, better help-seeking skills and enhanced problem solving skills. I am ...launching my next intake for the Circle of Security Parenting program on Wednesday 12 May. If you are interested and would like more information, you can check out my website, or reach out through email or DM.

23.01.2022 For those of you who are parenting teenagers, you will know that there are unique challenges that come from parenting a young person during this time of their life. But there are also amazing opportunities associated with this stage that have the potential to set teenagers up for a very positive transition into early adulthood. Research shows us that young people benefit significantly from feeling a sense of belonging. Ideally, they would feel this belongi...ng in multiple places in their life, at school, at home, and in their extra-curricular interests like creative or sport groups. As parents, we have a wonderful opportunity to support the development of a sense of belonging for teenagers. Working with your child to understand their interests and strengths, and then looking for opportunities to build on these strengths, can benefit the young person in both their skills development, but also in their mental health. So, have a chat with the teenagers in your home: Are they spending time with their peers outside of school? Do they have confidence in their ability to participate in activities they enjoy? Are their positively connected with adults outside of their family (think coaches, mentors, youth workers etc.)?

10.01.2022 The final step in helping our kids to understand healthy conflict resolution is to help our small humans understand how to problem solve and compromise - remember, we are not always going to get what we want. This is vital in helping our kids to get along with their peers, and resolve conflict with peers in a productive way. Part of this is about, where relevant, helping our kid to take responsibility for their actions. In cases where their behaviour has n...egatively impacted a family member, a peer, or someone else in their life, it is important that we provide them with the space to reflect on this, with the intention of moving forward positively, and working to repair this harm. Once your kid has been able to express how the conflict has made them feel (and potentially take responsibility for their part in the conflict), you can help them to work out a solution to the issue: Brainstorm a list of solutions (help them to think about different ways to solve the problem) Talk about being flexible and the potential that they might need to compromise Aim for a win-win - something that is fair and will work for everyone Support them to think of possible consequences for their solutions Put the solution into action and see how it works! There are a couple of important points for us as parents: We, as parents sometimes need to take charge, which means that negotiating may not be an option all the time. If you have multiple children (siblings, step-siblings, foster siblings etc.), then you can support all of your children through this process when they have conflict with each other. When our kid is experiencing peer conflict, or any other challenge, it is tempting to ‘fix it’. This has the potential to disempower our kids and make them overly reliant on us to solve their problems. #parenting #parentsofinstagram See more

03.01.2022 When supporting the development of health conflict resolution skills, helping our kids to develop active listening skills is as important as understanding how to express yourself in a calm and assertive way. Fortunately, there are a few ways to show that we are listening to another person: Show that you are listening - make eye contact and nod to show that you understand what the other person is saying. Don’t interrupt - this includes ...when you kid is speaking. Remember that you are the role model for positive behaviours and healthy conflict resolution strategies. Repeat back what has been said in your own words e.g. from what I’m hearing, you felt angry when I turned off your movie so that we could clean the family room, is that right’. This provides a way to clarify what the other person is saying, and demonstrate the fact that you are listening. See more
