  • 17 - 16 - Potty Learning the Montessori Way with Neus Carmona

    THE SECRET to making potty learning an enjoyable experience for both you and your child.

    All children go through potty learning and it’s something every single parent has to face at some point.⁠

    It can sometimes be a struggle and cause a lot of stress but the secret is it doesn’t have to be that way! It can be a wonderful journey that you and your child share (with a few clean ups here and there )⁠

    In this interview I speak with Neus Carmona , who has helped hundreds of parents love potty learning as much as she does!⁠

    We approach this topic from a child centred, Montessori point of view, focusing on the child and following their pace rather than forcing them to adhere to rules and schedules imposed by us.⁠

  • 16 - 15 - Gentle Discipline - How the power of connection can transform the way you discipline your child

    Discipline doesn't have to be a conflict! You want your child to listen, you want your child to be caring and kind to others, you want your child to look after their belongings, you want them to be a good human...AND you also want to be a gentle & respectful parent.
    You might hear people criticising gentle discipline, you might feel like you're being judged if you're not giving your child any punishments or consequences, you might worry that they will never learn the things you want them to...
    Explore with me what gentle discipline is all about in this episode. I promise by the end of it, you will feel SO much more confident about using gentle discipline and empowered to reflect any judgemental comments, because YOU are building a secure relationship with your child.

  • 15 - 14 - Understanding our children's brain development with Blanca Velasquez-Martin

    When talking about respectful parenting/ mindful parenting/ gentle parenting, we look at the whole child, we encourage parents to look at the big picture, beyond the moment, beyond the behaviour in that moment. I feel like we cannot talk about a holistic approach to parenting without having some understanding of how our children’s brain works.

    In this episode I speak with Blanca Velasquez-Martin about brain development of young children, why it’s relevant to us as parents and what we can do to help this important part of our children’s bodies grow and develop. Knowing how our children’s brain is shaped through experiences, how it works and what it’s capable of while it is still developing can really help us gain a much clearer picture of our child’s behaviours, some of the reasons for them and begin to normalise certain things that children do. When we understand them better, we can have more empathy towards them, we can make more informed choices and decisions, and ultimately we can really nurture their development in a way that creates a more peaceful relationships within your home.

    You can sign up for my 1 to 1 parent mentoring programme: The Confident Parent where I will help you go from survival mode to pure parenting joy. If you want to
    Feel more connected to yourself and your children;

  • 14 - 13 - Why do our children have tantrums and meltdowns and how to respond?

    Floods of tears over the green cup, the broken in half banana or the milk that was supposed to be warm not cold and now it’s too warm. Our children can sometimes have the biggest emotions over the smallest things. If you are wondering how as a parent you can respond to these  emotional outbursts, often called meltdowns or tantrums, then this episode is for you.

    There is quite a lot of conflicting advice: ignore the child, don’t give into their desires, stay strong or they’ll have you wrapped around their little finger. On the other we are told to stay calm and help our little ones get through these emotions, but it’s not an easy thing to do! When emotions are involved, our own ones often start playing a big role in any interaction we end up having with our child and that can often add to the turmoil. In this episode I am going to explore why our children have these intense emotions, what is the best thing you as a parent can do during a meltdown and why it is important to respond empathically. Like I said, it’s not always easy, so alongside the why I will also give you the HOW. By the end of this episode, you will understand the reasons behind our children’s emotional outbursts, how you can respectfully respond to them and overall how as a parent you can stay calm when your children are not.

    You can sign up for my 1 to 1 parent mentoring programme: The Confident Parent where I will help you go from survival mode to pure parenting joy. If you want to
    Feel more connected to yourself and your children;
    Feel calmer about your children’s big emotions;

  • 13 - 12 - Finding self-love and self-compassion as a parent with Nathalie Alvarado

    As parents we often put unimaginable pressure on ourselves. We feel like we have to do it all and then when we can't we feel like we are failing. We get so caught up in looking after our children and often forget that we also need to look after ourselves. In this episode I speak to Nathalie Alvarado about re-connecting with our inner wisdom and really tuning into our own emotions and thoughts so that we can be fully aware when responding to our children.

    If you want to know how to start this journey of inner-work in order to feel more connected and compassionate towards yourself then this episode is for you. Nathalie analyses the reasons we feel so much pressure as parents, and how to stop comparing ourselves to others and start focusing on our own strengths. She shares some ideas and tips on how to do this and also why it's so important that we model these healthy beliefs and patterns to our children.  Nathalie also shares her secret to help parents get to a place where you feel confident about the parent you are.
