In the episode Annabelle and Em chat about labels! This topic came about due to the many conversations Em has had recently with parents about their children. These conversations had a similar theme of parents being told their child has a hard time following instructions, listening, staying still and so on. So we are asking the question are labels helpful or limiting? And is the child just 3 or is there something else going on? We unpack this and delve into so much more, as we go off on other interesting tangents (as always!)

In this episode Annabelle and Em talk about play! They share their own experiences and how play has helped their relationship with their children, but also with their partners and themselves. They discuss how differently boys and girls play and how this is a factor in how much they choose to play with their own children. They want to be the fun Mum, but they also want to just lay on the couch, do you relate?

In this episode Emily shares a current theme that has been present in her community over the past few months- resilience.

She talks about the two examples of where resilience has been a topic of conversation. This involves the heat wave we have had in Perth and how this has impacted the We Are Nature Network programs and has meant diving into the philosophy of programs, and how the changes in weather influences resilience building.

This discussion also involves a topic that was brough up in the VIP SEED membership, where a question was asked about competitive children. Emily shares her own experience of dealing with competitive children and how she dealt with this while tying in the topic of resilience.
