What impact have the past couple of years had on our young children’s behaviour? Our children played in person, in the park, in the playground for several hours a day: they negotiated, disagreed, made up, compromised. Overnight, their schools closed and they suddenly had only their siblings, their parents and themselves for company, at home, all day, every day. How did this sudden shift in home life affect families, and how have we readjusted? And what are the implications moving forward, as we are firmly told that Covid is part of the new normal, on top of the ongoing challenges of everyday family life?

Our guest on this episode of Raise Her Up is Livvy Gormally, a behaviour expert who works with families and schools to share her specialist knowledge of Early Intervention, Behaviour Management and School Inclusion. Livvy will talk us through the impact the past couple of years have had on our kids’ development, will offer her tips on how to recalibrate our childrens’ behaviour and manage our own expectations, and how to navigate the at-times challenging Christmas period ahead.
