25.01.2022 This is not quite as easy as it sounds, due to competing demands in our modern lives, our own attachment history and the level of parenting support we receive. For this reason, the MAP workshops were developed to respect, cherish and support parents. It is hard to truly support parents with words of advice alone, action is required John Bowlby spoke of the attachment-exploration balance; When the child is distressed the attachment system turns on, prompting the child... to go to the attachment figure for comfort. When the recovery is smooth and carried to completion the attachment system turns off and the child returns to exploration or play. In this way the attachment relationship gives children a relationship solution for managing distress. 2008 Dr Rebecca Coleman BSc(Hons).MPsych(Clinical & Health).PhD(Developmental)

19.01.2022 After a long hiatus, I had the honour to work with a group of amazing parents last week. Their warmth, openness and positive intentionality towards their precious children was inspiring. I was grateful for the invitation & the capacity to offer supportive skills and evidence based knowledge With friendliness, Rebe

12.01.2022 Having a secure attachment relationship with your parent does not equate to being extroverted. One of the most misunderstood aspects of attachment theory, is linking it with the child’s natural temperament. Securely attached children can be outgoing and they can be shy. Having a shy temperament does not equate to being anxious or insecure. All temperaments experience anxiety and need differing levels of welcome and support for their uncomfortable feelings. It is different for... everyone and there is no one size fits all, it is all about reading the cues and signals of your unique infant or child (and not comparing them to other children). So what does secure attachment look like? The mindful parent is emotionally warm, sensitive, consistent, and responsive to the communication of their child. The young child readily explores using their primary caregiver as a secure base. The child actively seeks the parent when distressed and uses parent as a secure base. What is good enough to create a secure attachment ? Warm, sensitive, consistent & responsive care does not mean perfection, we are looking for good enough parenting (sensitive to cues and signals 30-50 percent of the time). And most importantly, repairing distressing relationship disconnections with time-in - I hope this post provides clarity for parents and children with shy temperaments.

06.01.2022 PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE Mindfulness is impossible to explain in words, which is why I created a two volume CD for practising (instead of writing another parenting book to put on the shelf and collect dust). Mindfulness certainly is not about being perfect or another skill to master! It really is most powerful when things don’t go smoothly, and self-compassion and relationship repair are required. It allows us to become our own best friend in a true and deep way ...(not a cognitive justification/affirmation of self-acceptance but the deepest kindness to the self imaginableit is such a relief!). Over the years, I have been asked many times to write a book (half way through one due to the request). I will finish it when our children are fully grown as I am still learning. Life long. In the meantime, this graphic encapsulates ancient intuitive parenting knowledge quite nicely. SPECIAL: Double CD with 8 week booklet enclosed, 2 x magnets in calico bag for $50 (including postage anywhere in Australia).
