25.01.2022 Control When children realise they can control the outcomes of their decisions and actions, they’re more likely to know that they have the ability to do what it takes to bounce back. On the other hand, if parents make all the decisions, children are denied opportunities to learn control. A child who feels everything always happens to me tends to become passive, pessimistic, or even depressed. This child sees control as externalwhatever they do really doesn’t matter becaus...e they have no control of the outcome. But a resilient child knows that he/he/they has/have internal control. By their choices and actions, they determine results. This child knows that he/she/they can make a difference, which further promotes competence and confidence. Some questions about control: - Do I help my child understand that life’s events are not purely random and most things happen as a direct result of someone’s actions and choices? - On the other hand, do I help my child understand that he/she/they isn’t responsible for many of the bad circumstances in life (such as parents’ separation or divorce)? - Do I help my child think about the future, but take it one step at a time? - Do I help my child recognise even small successes so he/she/they can experience the knowledge that he/she/they can succeed? - Do I help my child understand that no one can control all circumstances, but everyone can shift the odds by choosing positive or protective behaviours? - Do I understand that discipline is about teaching, not punishing or controlling? - Do I use discipline as a means to help my child understand that his actions produce certain consequences? - Do I reward demonstrated responsibility with increased privileges?#reachin #youarenotalone #parenting #parentgoals #teenagers #teens #motherhood #fatherhood

21.01.2022 "Empathy is essential for children to feel our unconditional love and acceptance. Without those elements in place, there isn’t the trust necessary for honesty and sharing. Children need to feel safe in the knowledge that we see none of their feelings and desires as wrong, shameful or beyond our understanding." #youarenotalone #reachin #parenting #motherhood #fatherhood #dadsmatter #communication #empathy #raisingteens #connection

14.01.2022 And so to a new year... For some, this is a blessing filled with excitement, anticipation and plans. For others it may be something to dread. Which one are you? We are open from 2 January 2019. Call 0410707019.

14.01.2022 A huge part of raising healthy teenagers is having the courage to gradually, gracefully and consciously let them go ... Our job as parents is to prepare them for a successful launch out into the world... regardless of timeline (as some need a little longer than others, and that is completely healthy and fine too). Are you ready? Perhaps you need a space to reflect upon and think about this parenting task? We have a small number of appointments available now. Call Sarah on... 0410707019 for a chat or an appointment. #reachin #youarenotalone #parenting #teenagers #parenthood #motherhood #fatherhood See more

01.01.2022 Coping: Children who learn to cope effectively with stress are better prepared to overcome life’s challenges. The best protection against unsafe, worrisome behaviors may be a wide repertoire of positive, adaptive coping strategies. Before we begin teaching children this repertoire of coping and stress-reduction skills, here are some basic questions to ask ourselves: - Do I help him/her/them understand the difference between a real crisis and something that just feels like an ...emergency? - Do I model positive coping strategies on a consistent basis? - Do I allow my child enough time to use imaginative play? Do I recognise that fantasy and play are childhood’s tools to solve problems? - Do I guide my child to develop positive, effective coping strategies? - Do I believe that telling him/her/them to just stop the negative behaviours will do any good? - Do I recognise that for many young people, risk behaviours are attempts to alleviate their stress and pain? - If my child participates in negative behaviours, do I condemn him/her/them for it? Do I recognise that I may only increase his/her/their sense of shame and therefore drive him/her/them toward more negativity? - Do I model problem-solving step by step or do I just react emotionally when I’m overwhelmed? - Do I model the response that sometimes the best thing to do is conserve energy and let go of the belief that I can tackle all problems? - Do I model the importance of caring for our bodies through exercise, good nutrition, and adequate sleep? - Do I model relaxation techniques? - Do I encourage creative expression? - As I struggle to compose myself so I can make fair, wise decisions under pressure, do I model how I take control rather than respond impulsively or rashly to stressful situations? - Do I create a family environment in which talking, listening, and sharing is safe, comfortable, and productive? #reachin #youarenotalone #parenting #parentgoals #teenagers #teens #motherhood #fatherhood See more
