Hi Ioulia,
What do you imagine he is feeling at these times to result in such an intense expression. Intense expression is showing the intensity of frustration/ distress that he’s experiencing at these times. Even if it sometimes seems like he shouldn’t really be upset, you can be sure that he is definitely feeling some very intense feelings…[Read more]

Hi Marie-Yianna,
Did anyone come back to you?
I’m very keen for an LP and am also a PPI trainee too!
I’m on NZ time, but could do my Sunday morning, which would be your Saturday eve?
If keen, let’s connect 🙂

An approach that I’ve tended to use a lot over the years with hubby (not that I always manage to do it well!) is to acknowledge that it seems like a really stressful situation for them both (hubby and DS/ DD). I a

Hi Liz, a belated response but I wanted to come back to what you shared here about the separation anxiety related to this first year of being in college and leaving the nest. It’s such a huge stage of development and huge life changes for teen and parent alike. But I love how you compare it with the separation anxiety the child goes through when…[Read more]

Hi everyone, my name is Kelly and I live in New Zealand with my partner Ric, our 7 year old son Max and our 4 year old daughter Maya.
I have long had an interest in attachment science and gentle parenting. It’s something I’m still learning! I’m here to improve my own skills and hopefully be able to pass that on to other parents at some point in…[Read more] -

Toria, I went to find this, what was a really amazing video, by Ben Warren on women’s hormones. And he does also talk about endometriosis. He’s here in NZ and his talks always sell out, he’s just a wealth of wisdom on all things health and nutrition. But alas his video has been deleted by facebook! In fact I’ve now discovered a lot of my…[Read more]

This may be a helpful little video that explains why so many women experience a lot of relief from progesterone cream in their first two weeks of their cycle, to decrease the imbalance between the oestrogen and the progesterone. https://www.facebook.com/BePureWellness/videos/1305132096190281

Hi Toria, I just stumbled on this one. I don’t know if the issue has since been resolved, but what’s really helped me at times has been to book a consultation with my naturopath/ herbalist and she prescribes a herbal brew for me. It could be so many things, adrenals, it could be that you need more good quality carbs at that time, but also herbs…[Read more]

I like how Karen talks about the importance of talking to the early childhood teachers and working with them to make sure that Memphis is getting his love tank filled during the day when he’s apart from you and that the teachers are helping him to feel that mum, dad and teachers are all caring about him and looking after him and all involved with…[Read more]

Hi Tayler,
You are not alone, this is a really really hard situation for us parents to handle. It often stirs up lots of big emotions and feelings and even fear deep inside us.
My girl is 9 year old, and I some times also have to deal with similar situation like this. And, learned from my own experience, I came to realise that it’s not fair to…[Read more] -

Toria I’m so sorry for your loss <3 I love what Meg and Ann have shared here from their experiences of dealing with grief in the family. It's so good that you're aware of the patterns in the family and that wish to do it differently. It's that awareness that tends to bring us the insights.

Meg Rodney replied to the topic Defiance and feeling left out in the forum General forum for peaceful parenting related questions and discussions 2 years, 10 months ago
I hear how attuned you are to trying to meet your son’s needs. It can be helpful to remember that kiddos sometimes need to offload, even when their parents are very attuned to them. So, if there are loving limits that he is pushing up against, he may end up offloading big feelings about that. And that is okay. You can stay lovingly present while h…[Read more]
