Hi Genevieve, I am wanting to reduce our sugar intake as a family and am looking for some tried and tested recipes that kids love to replace those things they are used to in their lunch boxes… Do you have any gems you could share? Thanks! 🙂

Thanks so much, I know my boy will love the birth story. We tell him the story every now and then and he enjoys hearing it but having it written down will be magic. Will have to do one for my youngest also! It’s funny, I never really thought about my trauma from the birth and how healing from that would help him. This will be a great project for…[Read more]

My 8 year old son was born about 7 weeks early via emergency c section. I had HELLP syndrome. He was small for his gestational age with a birth weight of 1.5kg, having not grown properly in utero due to poor nourishment. We were separated shortly after birth as we both needed attention, and time is a bit blurry for me at that point so I can’t…[Read more]

Nicola Stunell replied to the topic Module 6 Step by Step Course in the forum eCourse Participants 4 years, 5 months ago
I saw a perfect example of the stress cycle in action this morning as we were getting ready to get to school, luckily with a bit of fun and laughter we were able to get out of it and reconnect to get out the door even if it was a little bit late.
My question is how on earth do you make those things you just have to do every morning fun? Or how…[Read more]

One of the questions we have to answer is about bringing more joy into our daily lives… Here is my response 🙂
Isn’t it funny how daunting thinking about incorporating fun and joy in your life is! I grew up in quite a serious family so even more daunting for me. You are so right that kids are always trying to draw you back into it (the fun and…[Read more]

Nicola Stunell replied to the topic Stress relief for parents download in the forum eCourse Participants 4 years, 6 months ago
Hi 🙂 Thank you for the video. Unfortunately my computer/phone doesn’t come up with the three dots. After I push the blue arrow it comes up with a black screen and black/grey line where all the controls for the audio are but no 3 dots/option to download. Is it to do with Mac and iPhones? I think I managed at one point (I can’t remember how) to…[Read more]

Hi 🙂 I am not very tech savvy so it could be blindingly obvious but is there a way to download the tracks to my phone so I don’t have to go in through the website to listen to them? I have an iPhone… Thanks!

Nicola Stunell started the topic LOUD upsets! in the forum General forum for peaceful parenting related questions and discussions 4 years, 8 months ago
I think one of my triggers is the volume of noise my son uses when he is upset. Doesn’t matter how big or small the incident, the volume is the same. I manage to keep it from effecting how I respond to him in the moment but it leaves me pretty drained and with a feeling of underlying anxiety that lasts longer than the upset. Does anyone have a…[Read more]

I am considering homeschooling and wondered if any homeschoolers out there would share their knowledge/experience… Why did you decide to homeschool? What do I need to know so I can go in with my eyes open? 🙂

Such a big, windy, twisty journey and I get the impression I have barely started. I love how insightful you are Genevieve, thank you for your wise and kind words!

Thanks Meg. Yes, I probably do need to look at the feelings it is bringing up for me… I’ll look into it 🙂 In terms of sitting with the empathy for longer, it seems to increase his anger initially, I’m guessing because I’m hitting the nail on the head, but when he is telling me to ‘shut up’ do I keep empathising or do I just stay silent and take…[Read more]

My 7 year old, is a bit of a perfectionist and enjoys mastery so much so that he finds it difficult to move on to the next stage of learning a skill or persevering with something he finds difficult. Recently he has started with negative self talk… ‘I’m stupid’, ‘You hate me’, I’m an idiot’. So crushing to hear your child speak like this. Today…[Read more]
