Love it or hate it, technology is a part of our kids lives. But HOW and WHEN it is used is up to you. Technology can be an incredible vice when incorporated as part of a balanced lifestyle. Sometimes your energy is low and putting on the TV can be a source of much needed relief (we’ve ALL been there). But then there’s other times where you want to try and do things different. This post is for those times 💫 Which strategy can you try with your kids?!

I wanted to do an experiment….
To really find out what parents were concerned about I took a screenshot of this search. And the results are in… 1. Attention 2. Relationships 3. Sleep 4. Development 5. Busyness/destructiveness and… 5. Trying to understand Centrelink 😅 in this modern age I am not surprised that attention came in at number 1. And I have an amazing resource coming very soon that addresses the biggest issue facing parents today… screens. Stay tuned!! 👀 Did any of these surprise you? What would you add?

Check out these examples of simple fun-structions you can use ANYWHERE - needing to leave the house? Fun-struct. Need to get your child dressed or brush their teeth? Fun-struct. Need to leave the park? Fun-struct.

The key to a successful fun-struct is to show energy and playfulness behind what you say. No point saying "COME FIND ME" with your arms crossed and using a firm tone. Children are very perceptive and will know if you are 'putting it on'. Depending on the age of your child, these can be adapted to use their favourite characters, idols, literally anything that can make following the instruction more interesting.

For example - if your child loves Sonic, ask them to run as fast as Sonic to the front door, or do a super-sonic teeth clean.

Need more ideas? DM me the word 'funstruction' and I'll give you more ideas.

PARENTING SUPERSKILL INCOMING >>>

I've been thinking a lot about core skills that really help parents in their everyday lives. One that I have used (and often teach) is how to incorporate PLAY into any interaction with your child.

The key is to find YOUR way of play and humour that feels right for you and your child. You'd be surprised how much a funny voice or silly face makes it irresistible for your child to cooperate PLUS makes the whole interaction more enjoyable for you both.

STAY TUNED for tomorrow's post to learn more about how you can incorporate fun-struction at home!

One of the hardest things as a parent is trying to support our child when their emotions become overwhelmed. They're yelling, saying no, kicking, pushing or refusing to do what you ask. Sound familiar?

The first step to start responding (rather than reacting) is to tune into our thoughts. What are we telling ourselves about their behaviour? These 5 thoughts are definitely ones I have had myself - and I've found these 5 reframes help me find my calm in the emotional storm and respond more effectively and empathically.

Which one would you try? Check out the last page for tips on how to implement this! Save this post to practice calm and more effective parenting responses.

This is a tough one - and a situation I think almost every parent has been in.

Whether your child has tried to hurt you, a sibling, a friend or anyone else, it can feel upsetting, embarrassing and shameful. But it doesn't need to be!

When someone is feeling powerless, we act in ways we don't want to. In our attempt to escape from difficult feelings, we may become aggressive or try to repress our feelings. Both are attempts at trying to regain emotional balance, but often these actions have negative outcomes.

So how do we respond in these moments? DM me the word 'SUPPORT' and I'll send you a step-by-step guide

Three cheers for the perfect parent (that doesn't exist)

And for the people in the back... your child's behaviour IS NOT a reflection of your parenting.

Yes, you influence and guide your child.
And yes, they may copy what they see you do.

But no, you don't control your child, they have their own temperaments, moods and patterns that change with their experiences and supports. And while no doubt your child is amazing, we don't have to share that by trying to put someone else down.

So let's choose to be kind!

Here's why I don't tell my kids to "say sorry" (and what I do instead)

I think this all starts by reducing the shame or guilt parents feel when their child does something. If our child hits, snatches, or doesn't want to share, why do we immediately think this means they are 'acting out' or that their parent needs to discipline them?
Haven't we all done these things?
Does it mean our child isn't 'good' or has to be compliant to others all the time?
Does it mean that the parent isn't doing a good job?

I am all about helping children understand how to handle these situations, rather than threatening them to do something out of my own worry of what people think.

Because at the end of the day, no child feels good hitting, snatching or doing anything else. They are simply doing the best they know how - and it's our job as parents to help them learn and navigate these situations.

Save this post for next time you get the urge to force an apology and see what happens if you try these tips!

CREATING CONNECTION DOESN'T NEED TO TAKE HOURS

Life is busy and it's so easy to get caught up in the to-do lists and the day-to-day tasks that consumes us. But if we continue on this unsustainable autopilot mode, the result is a one-way ticket to burnout, stress and feeling disconnected from our kids (and frankly, ourselves too!).

BUT I have given you my favourite 5 minute connection boosters that can bring you closer to your kids and help you slow down. I try to do at least one of these a day (but let's be honest some days it just doesn't happen). There is one rule to these, in order to truly be connection boosters - NO PHONES. I know your kids may be adorable and you want to take a picture or video, but for 5 minutes make a rule for yourself to be truly present. I promise, you won't regret it.

WHICH ONE WILL YOU TRY NEXT?
