Step Into Your Child’s Shoes.

This picture is one of dads who created a reel after attending my online behaviour course. It was a funny reel with a key message.

This month, I’ll be sharing stories, insights, and practical tips to help you see the world through your child’s eyes.

Why?
Because I recently did some online training on branding and It made me think about my core message and I say this often at the start of my courses.
Because so often what looks like “challenging behaviour” is really a child
showing us a missing core need, like significance or connection.

When we can pause, shift our perspective,
and truly step into their shoes, everything can change.

Any
👍 Power struggles can ease

😴 Sleep, toileting, and daily routines can become calmer

🥰 And most important, your child feels valued, noticed, and understood.

I know firsthand how hard it can feel when we clash with our children.

And I also know the transformation that happens when parents learn to step closer instead of pushing back.

👣 Walk with me this September as we explore together.
I want to help. :)

I’m featured in the Whizzer booklet under Expert Tips.

Each time little ones use the toilet, they’re not just learning healthy potty habits ,they’re helping their fairy friends stay strong and keep the magic alive.

With the Fairy Pack (letter + bubbles) included in every book or whizzer bundle, toilet training just got a whole lot more fun. 🚽

Perfect for toddlers and beyond because when the fairies cheer, children can’t wait to go.

Check it out on KIddiwhizz.com

Just had to share this new lovely review added to Trust Pilot.

I now have 65 Trust Pilot 5 ***** reviews !!!!!
Very proud.😍

You know those moments when you're at your wit's end with parenting stuff?
I know as I have been there.

This parent was really struggling with potty training and then a friend recommended she chat with Me.

This is what happened...
"We were recommended Sue by a friend, after really struggling with our son's potty training. We loved our session, who taught us to make simple but effective changes – and it worked. Since, we have been back to Sue many times for help & support across potty training, sleeping & behaviour. Highly recommend!"

I love this so much.
Sometimes it really is just about having someone who gets it.
Someone who can look at your situation with fresh eyes and say
"try this little tweak" and suddenly everything clicks.

Whether it's potty training drama, bedtime battles, or those challenging phases that make you question everything - it's so reassuring to know there's support out there when you need it.

If you're in one of those tricky patches right now,
I have some brilliant courses that might be just what you need.

Your child wants to help.

Set the table.
Make their lunch.
Help with chores.

Your response?
"Here, let me do it , it will be faster."
"You might mess it up."
"I'll just handle this."

But here's what they may be hearing.

"I don't trust you."

And
"I can't trust myself."

One parent shared with me.

"My 6-year-old asked to make breakfast. I said no because I knew he would make a mess. Then I realised , I was teaching him that trying isn't worth it."

The more you do FOR your children, the less they believe they can do for themselves.
So what can you do.
Start small

Let them pack their own backpack
Have them order their own meal
Give them real chores with real consequences
Let them solve friendship problems first
Allow them to fail at small things now

Yes, it's messier.
Yes, it takes longer.
Yes, you could do it better.
But that's not the point.
The point is them looking in the mirror and thinking..........................
"I am capable."

Not................... "Mum/Dad will handle it."

Because independence isn't a gift you give them at 18.
It's a muscle you help them build every single day.

Pop me a DM if you have any parenting worries and need a listening ear.

We are all a limited edition and so are our children.

Parenting isn’t about fitting them into a mould, but about honouring their one-of-a-kind spark.
When we work with their uniqueness instead of against it, growth and connection will naturally follow.

That's how I work, and I’ve just launched a brand new 1-2-1 Zoom package where we can gently tackle any little worries keeping you up at night.💛
You don’t have to do this alone.
