Oh Loulia, that’s so full on.
I think you have mentioned the seat of the problem – that he’s not feeling safe and secure enough to sleep deeply alone yet.Firstly I want to say it’s very, very natural for our little ones to want us near when they are sleeping and falling asleep (not easy for us!) so just to reassure you that it is very…[Read more]

Nicola, those mornings and leaving the house can be soo stressful ah?
Don’t know that I’ve really succeeded in making them particularly fun or intrinsically motivating but I’ve tried to just bring a positive attitude to helping them develop those habits. Oh and always plan more time that I thought we’d need!!
When they were little we had a…[Read more] -

Hi everyone,
We’re conscious that people are all at different point in the eCourse and that’s totally fine! Some people are working through mdules 3/4 and some are heading into module 6.
In Module 6 we look at how we can connect with our children before we make requests. This can really help with cooperation. We look at the stress cycle and how…[Read more]

I love this Tycee! I find the same that certain landmarks round our home acquire special names along the way but love the idea of creating those stories around them and using that to create a journey.
Off to Wild Child (a forest school / nature day type thing) this arvo and would be a prefect place to try this..

Waiting for Soph at Acro and on my phone so just a quick note. We played and still play the game from Playful Parenting about the love gun. If the kids would point the gun I’d say, ‘Is that a love gun? Oh my gosh I love you so much!! Pleeeease can I hug you?!?!’
We did lots when they were that age but still now at 11
my son might say,Love gun…[Read more] -
Tabitha Jonson replied to the topic Meltdown from 4 year old after nursery today in the forum General forum for peaceful parenting related questions and discussions 4 years, 4 months ago
Oh Lesley. Those outbursts are soo hard.
Sounds like you handled it really well.What I try to remember is when they are in the midst of those huge emotions they (and all of us) are operating from their emotional and survival brain. That means they cannot think so it’s not the time for learning. That can come later. So although yes we want to…[Read more]

Tabitha Jonson replied to the topic Walking to school with 2 children who struggle with meltdowns in the forum eCourse Participants 4 years, 4 months ago
Yes soo hard! And I’m not sure if this is the case for you but the added element of the meltdowns being in public always added extra stress for me. I started doing this thing where I imagine a bubble around us and that no one can see us in our bubble and just focus on the kids. I’d sort of talk to myself that those people don’t matter, I just…[Read more]

Hard with preschoolers in a new space that’s not set up for small people! It can be really stressful visiting new places.
As Gen mentioned I’ve generally taken them for a little walk explaining where to stay. From little I’ve explained to my kids that I feel worried if I can’t find them as they’re so precious to me. Using those I statements,…[Read more]

Hi Nicky,
So tricky I imagine. I also want to reassure you that in my time working with 5 year olds, I’ve noticed rules are usually very important to many children of this age. 🙂
A couple of things initially come to mind that you could try.
Firstly using play to help loosen some of her attachment to ‘rules’. I’ll add some links as well but…[Read more] -
