23.01.2022 It is something we are all probably guilty of & at times, not even conscious of. But saying 'good boy' or 'good girl' to kids can actually be quite destructive to their sense of worth & motivation later in life #Parenting #IntrinsicMotivation #RewardingChildren #Motivation

19.01.2022 So, I have a daughter who struggles with fruit... like, a lot. Particularly blueberries. This morning, I tried something new. I gave her a spoon to eat them wit...h. She ate them all. I thought to do this because it's mostly a texture thing for her. I don't think this is necessarily going to work for every child or with every fruit, but... it's certainly worth a try.

19.01.2022 Playgroup @ Monkland State School for children aged birth to 5 years.

15.01.2022 Are pouches okay? Sure, they are convenient. Like all foods though, they have a dark side when over-served (or when over-squeezed in the backseat). When ...kids use pouches, they basically have one eating experience. While there are some newer, fancier pouches that are savory, many of the pouches kids eat taste more or less like applesauce. Plus, the texture is the same, the smell is mild, and all they have to do is suck and swallow to eat. Now and then, while out and about (or a little more during pandemic parenting), no problem. I love me some convenience, kids eat in color wouldn't be here without it. For most of the day-to-day though, if you can, it’s better to give toddlers solid foods so that they get lots of experience with different textures and with eating. This helps reduce picky eating and get kids the experience they need to learn to like more foods in the future. If your child is stuck on pouches, my free picky eater guide in my bio helps you start to make changes to help them eat more foods @kids.eat.in.color #kidseatincolor See more

03.01.2022 Let's talk smacking research. A brand-spanking new study (see what I did there?) published in the last 3 days in the prestigious journal, The Lancet, has invest...igated the smacking/spanking issue (again). It's based on 69 prospective, longitudinal studies - so it's high quality research. (Not just cross-sectional, which can't give us the same quality data.) Results? I quote from the abstract (which is all you can access without payment): First, physical punishment consistently predicts increases in child behaviour problems over time. Second, physical punishment is not associated with positive outcomes over time. Third, physical punishment increases the risk of involvement with child protective services. Fourth, the only evidence of children eliciting physical punishment is for externalising behaviour. Fifth, physical punishment predicts worsening behaviour over time in quasi-experimental studies. Sixth, associations between physical punishment and detrimental child outcomes are robust across child and parent characteristics. Finally, there is some evidence of a doseresponse relationship. The consistency of these findings indicates that physical punishment is harmful to children and that policy remedies are warranted. Why am I posting this? 62 countries around the world have banned smacking. But in Australia it's legal to hit your kids in every single state. I've written extensively and regularly about why this needs to change previously. And I spend my life trying to guide parents towards better discipline solutions. I want to be clear about this - it's not helpful to hit kids. No shame. No guilt. Just a plea. The evidence doesn't support it. Morally we can't support it. 63% of children between the ages of 2 and 4 worldwide -- approximately 250 million children -- are regularly subjected to physical punishment by caregivers. But we can do better than that. Please... love your kids when they are most unlovable. Be the kind of parent you wish you'd had when you were struggling. Remember that they've got their L plates on. They're just learning how to do things right.

01.01.2022 Build on their cognitive development. Allow your child to think for themselves. As bad as it may sound, I won't open doors for Rex I ask him how he is going to reach the door. He thinks about it and then goes and gets a stool. Now I understand teaching him how to do things like this can lead to danger but because im aware of that I take daily precautions to insure it doesn't happen such as locking my back door that leads to a backyard where a pool gate is.
