Annie's Centre Podcast

Routines are not only for 'getting jobs done'. 

Routines are central to the education of infants and children in forming the building blocks of language, social interaction and eventual mastery of a new skill. 

In this episode, routines are discussed from a variety of perspectives by Dr Chalfant. 

We also review the movie "Ride Like a Girl" which Dr Chalfant recommends as a much watch family movie event!

Tired of the "Yep", "Nah", "Sort of", "Maybe, "Don't know" responses from your child or teenager?

Maybe you need to be asking questions and framing conversations that encourage your child or teenager to contribute more.

Using Dr Chalfant's W.A.R.M conversation guide, you can learn how to have your child open up to you and in turn, you open up to them.
