Ever wonder why your kids tend to be so emotional??

The Whole-Brain Child is a revolutionary book, created by a neuroscientist and a parenting expert, that breaks down the research on children’s developing brains. The neuroscience is illustrated with 12 simple strategies that parents with children of all ages can use when faced with the every-day ups and downs of parenting.

By delving into the major concepts in this book you will gain a deeper understanding of why your children behave the way they do as well as learn how to foster healthy emotional development and ultimately have calmer, more balanced and meaningful family lives.

You can help your child learn healthy ways of managing their emotions by creating the space for neutral and non-judgemental discussions about feelings.

Giving the feeling a name and validating it’s reasons for being there are powerful tools.

Your child will be better off in the long run and so will your relationship.

Do you find this challenging to implement?

Nature Play at its’ finest 🌈🌲🌳

I find myself forgetting some days to use play to connect and elicit cooperation from my kiddos.

Children communicate with us through their behaviour. It is helpful to meet them on their level.

Reminder to myself and all of you parents: Connecting through PLAY is extremely effective!

Do you notice yourself comparing your parenting to others?

Are you piling on the pressure to be everything for your kids on top of work, household tasks and self care?

Perhaps you blame or shame yourself when your kiddo “acts out”?

I want you to know that you truly are good enough for your child. You do not need to be checking off all of those boxes every day in order to feel confident about your parenting.

Let’s get back to basics:

✔️ Take care of yourself
✔️ Strive to maintain a loving and positive connection with your kids
✔️ Forgive yourself for being human

Even when you are having a hard time...even when you find yourself feeling irritable and snappy...even when you are not feeding your kids the healthiest meals or stimulating them with school curriculum...YOU ARE ENOUGH!

You love your child and are doing your best every day. It’s ok, YOU ARE ENOUGH and have all of the resources within you for what your children need to thrive.

New 👶 at home or on the way?

Worried about how you will balance your time/attention?

Many parents are concerned about this transition - even though it is an exciting time for families.

Join me LIVE for a zoom workshop tomorrow where I will discuss gentle strategies you can employ to help make this transition smoother for your older child (and yourself)!

Someone once told me that a new sibling is like giving a gift to your child.

😤 Emotions are high and the impulse to return to old or engrained habits may be present.

This might look like the urge to punish, blame or criticize. Or perhaps it’s just a general feeling of frustration, lack of control and/or negativity.

Are you witnessing yourself speak in a way that is not aligned with you values?

If you’re feeling any of these things please know that you are not alone. 💞

This is a gentle reminder that punishment is not the answer. Punishment will not make your child behave differently or stop craving the connection, attention and guidance they need.

And at the same time, it is ok. You are allowed to be overwhelmed. You are human.

How are you feeling?

Struggling with your toddler’s behaviour?

My 5 year old is chewin’ on some grass...and I am working on being PATIENT, breathing the fresh winter air and enjoying an unstructured present moment.

What you can’t see is after nagging her to get up and keep walking — 1 minute later I was lying on the grass right beside her!

Name 1 thing you’re working on with being more PATIENT and PRESENT with your family or your self 👇

Welcoming all of the feelings does not equal doing everything your child asks. Similarly, saying no does not mean that your child’s feelings should be ignored or dismissed.

I invite you to try holding empathic space for your child’s struggle — without having to solve the problem for them.

You can help your child develop resilience by allowing necessary struggles while also providing the love, guidance and support they need to navigate their rocky feelings and impulses.
