Award-winning Parent Coach Aoife Lee reveals how to be the calm in the storm

As any parent will tell you, the whole art of parenting can be quite stressful and very testing on one's patience. This often results in anger - an emotion that doesn't need to be present.

Aoife is a mother-of-three, an accredited parent and life coach and is founder of Parent Support. She works with many corporate companies around Ireland, delivering parenting wellness talks to their teams.

Speaking on Dermot and Dave's #MindYourselfNow , Lee says; "the big stuff that impacts our lives as adults, has just as much of an affect on our kids; the difference is that that adult is able to make that connection between how they're feeling to what has happened"

at the end of the day, the kids need us to be in control

She continues by expanding on these tips:

Stay one step ahead of your child's behaviour - try to understand your child's point of view

Remove yourself from the argument - not the child

Naming their feelings - validity can often diffuse a situation

I sh*t you not!

Back in August, Pat Shortt released this creative little video ahead of the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Final:

The poop-scooping banter went viral, with most viewers getting a great laugh out of it. But not everyone saw the funny side.

Speaking on Today FM's Dermot and Dave, Shortt admits; "I didn't pick up anything at all with it (the Kilkenny jersey), contrary to a lot of abuse we got around the office".

He then shocked us all by telling us that "letters of the same sentiment" were sent to him; "it's debatable whether it was dog poo or not", he chuckles - but it belonged to something or someone.

Pat also chats to the lads about his hugely popular Live Show Hey!:

And teases us with news of some secretive upcoming ventures, "I've a few projects on the boil for next year".

D'Unbelievable as always from the Tipperary ledge. We can't wait to see what he has in store.

It's more than just a mental state of mind

No matter how strong a person is, we all experience varying strains of anxiety in our lives. It's an uncomfortable sensation that in more serious cases can be extremely debilitating.

It usually manifests when a person has too much going on at the one time. The mind becomes muddled causing worry and unease - emotions that can also become physically evident.

Speaking on Dermot and Dave's Mind Yourself Now, Clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist Fiona Brennan explains this connection and how to recognise it;

what we've to remember is just how this works on a neurobiological level and when we know that we're in such a strong position

Fiona says this is "an evolutionary part of human beings and our bodies may react in a way we don't understand".

Warning signs include:

Tightness in the chest

Struggling to breathe

Sweating

Blushing

Headaches/Dizziness

Muscle tension

Digestive issues

Insomnia

She continues by explaining how Dr. Stephen Porges' Polyvagal Theory has revealed a "calmness lever" that people can activate to relieve these pressures. It's all to do with the vagus nerve and our gut feelings.

Not only is the 27-year-old a supreme athlete, he's also a great laugh, as we found out on Dermot and Dave.

Dingley was in the hot seat for #AskMeAnything and was well up for the challenge.

The lads discuss the intensity of his training, what it's like prancing about in those budgie smugglers and the lengths he has to go to keep in shape;

coz I need to be quite heavy to move down the springboard, I get to eat as much as I want

It sounds like my kinda sport!

It doesn't always go to plan though:

Here is the video @OliverDingley was talking to @DermotTodayFM and @DaveTodayFM about.

His bellyflop from a competition last year.

OUCH!‍♂#DermotAndDave #AskMeAnything pic.twitter.com/3qPTWHUQri

Personally, I think that belly flop was perfection. I'd give it a 10 ahead of any dive.

We're behind you all the way Ollie!

Speaking on Today FM's Dermot and Dave, John explains what their initiative involves and urges other barbers to get on board.

They've teamed up with Pieta House to learn more about mental health, equipping themselves with the tools to help their customers.

John says;

we're not a counselling service but we're giving people the option of an ear, someone to speak to and we've started this Barbers Who Care initiative trying to raise awareness

This is also a message from the team:

'Next time you visit (any barbershop in the world) and you feel you had a good old fashioned chat that made you feel good, do please try and make the effort to share that barbers efforts by simply using the HASHTAG #barberswhocare with any pic you took in their establishment, to spread the word! We’re always here, we’re always everywhere'

This week Dermot and Dave spoke about Dermot getting catfished. YES - THERE IS SOMEONE OUT THERE USING HIS PICTURES. Dermot & Dave show producer Maria spoke about the new season of I'm A Celeb, while Sean reveal the truth behind the Nativity play. And, Dave had some Bad Jokes, while Noni gave gave us some shocking news.

It's all in the oxytocin

Dave's World is a majestic place where Dave Moore delights us with facts and stats he has gathered on the interweb.

This time round, Dave taught us how a 20 second hug releases enough oxytocin to make people trust you more.

Oxytocin is a peptide hormone and neuropeptide that plays a role in social bonding. Now you know how to fast track people's trust.

He also reveals the way an astronaut scratches their nose whilst in a spacesuit, why eating lobster was once a form of torture and the most impressive feature in a British Army tank.

Good man Daithí!

"I never thought it would happen to me"

Noni Considine may be an expert at fleecing people with extortionately priced chawklit, but when it comes to using social media, she's still a novice.

Like did you know that a sea cucumber's butthole has teeth?

That's possibly one of the strangest sentences I've ever written and you've ever read. Agreed? Well that's the beauty of social media - anything is possible.

Thanks to this tweet...

Please share a fact you are excited to know. https://t.co/vSc1kFtnKI

...Dave Moore dedicated today's Dave's World to the weird and wonderful facts offered up.

But this has to be the weirdest of them all:

There is a species of fish that lives in the buttholes of sea cucumbers.

The sea cucumbers buttholes developed teeth in an attempt to keep them out.

It did not work.

His new book explains what it was like growing up with a gorilla Essex doorman dad

Russell Kane is an award-winning comedian who's flamboyant nature has been making the world laugh for years. But how did his flamboyancy go down in a home where his dad was his polar opposite?

Ahead of Russell's Olympia Theatre tour date, Dermot and Dave caught up with the energetic funster to chat about his The Fast and the Curious stand-up show and learn more about his alpha male father.

Wow. Xxx https://t.co/AjaJOVyGdT

— Russell Kane (@russell_kane) November 7, 2019

The 44-year-old explains how his dad went from a talented "looker" to ending up as "a bit of an embittered manual labourer howling at the sky about what could have been".

Kane then reveals why his show is the perfect gig for Dermot and Dave and how his wife plays such an important role in it;

I end up just telling unbelievable stories about Lindsey, my Manchester, Liam Gallagher, prosecco-head wife and the crazy stuff she makes me do
