Connected Parenting with Your Partner - with Joss Goulden

Season 1 · Episode 77

Thursday, March 21, 2024 • Duration 47:26

Have you ever argued with your partner about parenting? Most parents have and it's one of the big topics that clients usually want to talk or vent about.

This is especially an issue when you're following a different approach to the norm, and maybe you've even questioned whether it's worth implementing it if your partner is not 100% on board.

In this episode I talk with fellow Aware Parenting Instructor, Joss Goulden about what you can do to create a more connected co-parenting relationship with your partner whilst staying true to your values.

If you've ever tried to give your child the ideal day by throwing a birthday party or taking them on an exciting trip, only for them to have a meltdown or complain, then this episode is for you.

In it, Devon Harris shares about how about a day spent doing mundane things with her son led him to declare it was "the best day ever"

So what was it about that day that had such a profound impact?

And how can you bring in the elements she talks about into your every day life?

Are Tantrums "Normal"?

Season 1 · Episode 67

Saturday, March 18, 2023 • Duration 19:52

Do you worry whether your child is "normal", especially when they're having a meltdown (again!)? If so, you're not alone. Tantrums have been seen as unacceptable for hundreds of years and very harsh methods were used to stop them - "spoil the rod, spare the child".

But tantrums ARE normal. In fact, they're a healthy biological function that needs to be supported rather than squashed.

Because when they're squashed, the upset emotions stay inside your child which leads to anxieties, aggression and addictive behaviours.

Listen to this episode to learn more about the benefits of expressing and releasing upset emotions - for your child (and for you....!).

For more help with your child's tantrums, join Annoying to AMAZING! and see how Helena has helped her own children with big emotional outbursts.
