How do we raise curious children with fabulous critical thinking skills?

Spend time exploring the world with them. Here are some questions from Bernadette Russell, designed for you to ponder with your child:

⭐ How should we treat animals?
⭐ What is love?
⭐ Is everything connected?
⭐ Can kindness change the world?
⭐ Can I think myself happy?
⭐ What is so great about the world anyway?
⭐ What’s the difference between grown ups and children?
⭐ What is friendship?

Be responsive and curious

If they are in the phase of asking a lot of why questions you can explore and consider these together even if you don’t know the answers. Welcoming your child’s questions helps them to retain a sense of wonder and a desire to learn.

Shyness can result from your child’s way of perceiving the world. In their imagination some people might seem a little frightening, especially at first. Social situations or visiting another person’s house can feel overwhelming. Shy behaviour, such as hiding or staying quiet in the hope no-one will notice you is your child’s way of protecting themselves.

Children can appear shy for a variety of reasons. There may be a genetic component. Some children are more sensitive and easily overwhelmed than others. Some of us may be shy because we grew up with harsh and critical parents. This could result in us role modelling shy behaviour for our children - if this is the case perhaps you need support around your own shyness.

Receiving guidance and encouragement in childhood can make a big difference and help lay strong foundations for the future.

You might be wondering how to raise polite and
co-operative humans without punishments?
Many of the people I work with had strict upbringings with parents or teachers who used shaming and blaming tactics to control behaviour. Unfortunately strict parenting leaves scars. Often clients are afraid of repeating their parent's behaviour but find that their home life becomes chaotic: They find themselves shouting and feeling horrible about it.

What can you do instead?

5 ways to be a calmer parent

Watch your thoughts

Notice the thoughts you are having before you lose your temper. What judgements are you making about yourself or your child? Are those judgements true or could they be challenged/updated?

Notice your feelings

Try setting an alarm to go off several times a day. When the alarm rings, notice how you are feeling and take a moment to offer yourself some compassion. Increasing your awareness of your feelings overall will make it more likely that you notice when you are starting to feel stressed.

Look for patterns in your mood

What tends to happen before you notice your stress levels rising? Does it is happen at a similar time of day or when you are feeling unsupported or tired? Are there things you can do to tackle the root causes?

Communicate your feelings

Naming your feelings can help to switch on the thinking part of the brain which can serve to increase your feelings of calm. It can also help your child to empathise with you and provide good role modeling for them: Supporting them to regulate their feelings.

Get more support

More support than you think you need. Parenting is hard and we all deserve support, sometimes it can take courage to ask for help. Reach out if you would like to chat; nina@journeyintoparenting.com.

Some children love to understand how things work - even their own brain and nervous system.

Understanding this can support them to feel empowered. It helps them to learn what happens when big feelings come up.

I have made a free workbook which looks at what happens in the body when we feel angry, scared or upset. Making the latest neuroscience accessible to children.

It also offers some tips and tools to help your child calm down more easily. I also talk a little bit about what learning new skills is like.

Through this understanding they can learn to regulate their emotions more effectively - a skill they can draw on throughout life.
