✨ Thank you, Implats, for the golden (or should I say platinum 😉) opportunity to come and share about psychological safety.

Creating spaces where people feel safe, seen, and valued isn’t just good leadership — it’s solid groundwork for high performance, deep trust, and long-term success.

Psychological safety truly is more precious than metal!

Hierdie was so ‘n groot voorreg én belangrike gesprek. En nog ‘n groter lekkerte was om die verhoog saam met my man te kon deel. Dankie Laerskool Proteapark vir die fantastiese werk wat julle doen. Ek wil ook spesiale erkenning gee aan al die afrigters wat soveel van hul kosbare tyd in die kinders in-ploeg. Ons sien julle en ons waardeer julle.

One day we will finally have a conversation about how a lot parents groom their children to be abused by future partners by not allowing them any autonomy and by teaching them punishment is love. A brain does not know the difference between abuse and punishment…

If you want to keep your kids from entering abusive relationships, you have to stop trying to control your kids when you get angry at them. You have to shift from CONTROL to CONNECTION: https://www.wolfietherabbit.com/courses/from-control-to-connection-how-great-parents-are-made/

With this truth in mind - doesn’t it make sense to focus more on your inner world than your outward appearance?

‘n Mossie het die eerste keer op my skouer kom sit aan die onseker oewer van ‘n Jordaanrivier wat ons moes oorkruis.

Sedertdien het ek onthou-mossies versamel. Gedenk-mossies. Belofte-mossies.

Vir ander sal hierdie vaal-geveerde seker altyd bloot ‘n niksseggende mossie bly, maar vir my is dit ‘n konstante herinnering dat die Here van Abraham, Moses en Joshua altyd voorsien. ‘n Herinnering dat Hy steeds ons voete droog hou as ons die waters moet oorkruis. ‘n Herinnering dat Hy ‘n pad kan maak waar daar nie een is nie. (Terloops - ek d**k Hy spesialiseer in onbegaanbare paaie).

Ek weet nie waar jy in jou rivierloop trek nie, maar vanaand het ek ‘n behoefte om vir jou ‘n onthou-mossie te bring. ‘n Gedenkmossie. ‘n Nikswerd mossie, met sy belofte van onskatbare waarde: YHWH Yireh.

Ek bid dat jou kinders in die toekoms sal vra: “Wat beteken hierdie mossie?” Waarop jy met ‘n weet-wat-wéét sal kan antwoord: die God van die heelal maak steeds vir my en jou wonderbaarlike waterkruisings moontlik.

Mag Jesus jou oë met modder en spoeg kom smeer, sodat jy nie een mossie of droeë tree op jou pad miskyk nie. Mag jy jou eie gedenkmossie versameling begin. En mag jy ook iewers langs jou pad vir ‘n ander ‘n onthou-mossie skenk.

A desperate mom recently came seeking answers about her 13-month-old daughter, who is still breastfed and co-sleeps.

They struggle to get her to eat. The mom explained that when they try to feed her, she takes 1 or 2 bites and then pushes the spoon away. If they persist, their daughter simply spits out the food or starts screaming.

A doctor recently suggested moving her to her own room and stopping nighttime breastfeeding, with only dad giving her water when she wakes.

The mom explained that she is feeling hopeless. She is unsure about this advice and seeks advice on toddler feeding and whether to sleep train their daughter and move her out completely.

These are such great, relevant questions. And I’ve got such great, relevant answers. The module - YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT SPOONS DON’T REALLY SOUND LIKE AEROPLANES - will bust all the myths about picky eating; teach you how to tame those food tantrums and MOST IMPORTANTLY - set your kid up with a healthy foundation with food. Priceless!

And don’t worry - I’ve also got your sleep headaches covered: check out the FOR SLEEP’S SAKE! module.

You’re welcome. :)

– LIES HAVE SHORT LEGS. THEY DON’T GET VERY FAR: your roadmap to honesty –

Does your kid’s lying send you into a flat spin? Does it make you think of your kid as bad, disrespectful, or out of control? Uncomfortable truth: lying is 100% parent-generated! (I hear your exasperated gasps from the other side of the screen). Before dismissing me completely and booking your kid’s therapy appointment – it might be worth your while to give this approach a try!
