"H E Y // sorry
I won’t be coming into work today.

No worries at all.
Was the reply.
Is everything alright?

She paused for a moment
as her finger hovered her phone.

Actually. It’s not. My baby had a scary high temperature last night and I haven’t felt that out in control as her mum before. The worry is debilitating. I haven’t slept a wink. My inner dialogue of fear and overthinking is exhausting and I’m tired in my bones. She won’t be put down, I’ll be lucky to get a meal in today and I’m already dreading tonight.

Everything feels quite insurmountable at the moment, actually. Our family can’t catch a break and the relentlessness of each kid taking turns bringing home a new germ is starting to take a toll on me, mentally and physically. I don’t know how much longer I can manage the juggle.

To add to the hard, my eldest is going through something quite heavy, so while I have you, I need next Friday off too. I know taking leave to meet appointment schedules isn’t ideal for the workplace, but it’s a necessity for us.

To be honest, this working mum gig is harrrrd enough trying to balance late meetings and school drop offs, but summoning the courage to call in sick, again, can be enough to tip me over the edge. It feels almighty ironic that I feel genuinely guilty for not being at work, while simultaneously feeling complete comfort in the decision to stay home with my sick child.

And to tell you the truth, calling in sick and the subsequent communication to staff that I’m away gives me overwhelming anxiety. I know I am letting people down, I know my workload continues to grow, I know there are times colleagues pick up my slack. And while I’m infinitely grateful, I can’t help but worry that the favours are side barred with fed up water cooler remarks.

So no, everything isn’t ok.
Not right now. It will be, but currently this season is challenging.
But thank you for asking.

That’s what she really wanted to say.
Lay it all out.
But, instead
She wrote

Yep, everything is fine
Just the baby.. sick again.
Hopefully see you tomorrow.
I’m sorry!"

We know a lot of you who are feeling this right now. Just remember;
- It will get better.
- You are not alone.
- Survival mode means screen time, pj days, cereal for dinner - whatever it takes, without the guilt.
- This time of the year is overwhelming enough as it is - let alone with so much sickness around. Take care of yourself and put your family first, say no to invitations and commitments if you have to!
- Missing out on festive celebrations can be really hard for some people - we are thinking of you!

Raise Good Kids ❤️

There’s this big giant ‘elephant in the room’ of the parenting world...and I'm done going along with it being unacknowledged and unchallenged.

Everyday this misconception makes many parents feel frustrated, defeated and hopeless.

It makes them feel like their child is less than.

Worst of all, it feeds into a giant cycle of negativity and resentment in the parent-child relationship which can last for YEARS.

If you follow this page, you know I strongly believe that the world needs all kinds of kids...and it drives me CRAZY to think that any child would get the message that they're 'wrong' or 'not enough'.

Sadly, I believe this is a message many strong-willed spirited children inadvertently get every day, from well-meaning teachers, coaches, and parents.

These strong determined energetic souls are told to be quiet, stop moving and to keep their thoughts and opinions to themselves...and oftentimes it comes with a disapproving glance or disparaging sigh.

(Children are much better at reading between the lines than we give them credit for)

Somewhere along the line in parenthood, we were sold a false bill of goods.

We were made to believe that kids who don't immediately listen, comply and OBEY are BAD. That there's something 'wrong with them that needs to be fixed.

When you enter into parenthood harboring this misconception and then have a child who by NATURE doesn't always listen, cooperate and obey your every command it sets you up for a DANGEROUS trap.

You begin desperately striving towards some false ideal of what 'a good child' is using any means necessary (threats, punishments, harsh tones, and WORSE), all the while you're literally fighting AGAINST the way that your child naturally ticks.

Why is it treated as some sort of secret that around 15% of kids are born with a strong-willed temperament? Why are parents not told that these personality traits are biological and serve many great purposes in the world?

On top of that, we're made to believe the load of crap theory that 'one parenting style fits all'.

When you're made to feel as though the very essence of who your child is, is BAD... how can you even begin to effectively work with them to teach them how to cooperate, listen and be respectful?

The short answer? You can't, at least not effectively or healthily. So you try 'all the things' in the conventional parenting handbook, and they fail miserably every time.

I totally get it, because I've been there. Trying the same parenting approaches over and over with no long-term success. Sometimes my 'power' or dominance was able to momentarily 'win' in certain situations, but that was always followed by a hard hit to our relationship and parent-child connection (and a lack of actual effective teaching and learning).

But here’s what I’ve realized in my 15 years of working with these strong and sensitive children as a Child Therapist, and 10 years of living under the same roof as 2 of them myself…

Every child is a GIFT and here in this world for a reason. Parenthood is a gift you only get one shot at, and one-size-fits-all parenting approaches are not going to cut it for a spirited persistent temperament.

You are a good parent- and your child is a GOOD kid. You just need different tools and a better understanding of how your child learns and what motivates them.

There is a different path for you and your spirited child- full of connection and joy, and you can start that journey TODAY. 👉Get a spot on the waitlist for my first of its kind online course Confident & Connected and have a new life with your behaviorally challenging child in 8 weeks >> https://parentswithconfidence.ck.page/835c2bfe7a

“"Put them in water or take them outside.” It was the first useful parenting advice I ever got. “Sleep when the baby sleeps”? I think the polite word for that gem is poppycock. But this particular axiom has saved me many times over.

I don’t remember how old my son was when I called my mom in tears because I couldn’t stop his, but his age was probably measured in weeks. Maybe days. “Nothing is working; I don’t know what else to try,” I sobbed. “He’s not hungry or sleepy or wet.” “Try giving him a bath,” she suggested. “Or bundle him up and take him outside for some fresh air. I always say to take them outside or put them in water, and usually, the grumpiness goes away.” It worked that day, and it’s worked many times since. We’ve done baths at 10 a.m. I’ve paced our driveway with a baby in my arms at 2 a.m. And today, at 5:15 p.m. when my children were fighting for the 17th time since they got home from school and I was about to lose it, instead I put one in the bath and I sent the other outside and now maybe all three of us will survive until Dad gets home.

Almost nine years later, it still works.

I can’t give you advice about sleep schedules or feedings or Montessori-approved toys. I don’t know what we’re gonna do about Tik Tok and Snapchat in a few years. But when they’re falling apart at the seams for no apparent reason, take them outside or put them in water.

Oh, and it works on grown-ups, too."

We love this! 💖

The simple reality is that we can’t actually control our children. At least not for very long. But we can control ourselves, and share our strength, our calm, and our unconditional love. And while we can't control our children, we can help them learn self control, not by controlling them, but by modeling self-control and teaching them what it looks like - over and over and over again.
