  • E168 - Why transitioning from one activity to another can be such a struggle with Mathieu Lyons | Parent Talk
    Why transitioning from one activity to the next can be such a struggle?
    Understanding difficulty in transitions - Why is it so painful?
    Dealing with change is often difficult for children, from leaving the playground for the day or switching from art to math in school. Being asked to change activities or locations is often a trigger for behavior like whining, complaining, or throwing tantrums. Kids may not be able to handle the big emotions that can come with transitions. They might learn that by stalling, they get to avoid the change for a bit longer.
    In this episode, Mathieu Lyons from the Neufeld institute explains to us what’s happening in our child's brain and what we need to do to connect one activity to the next.
    Happy learning new tips :)

  • E166 - How to manage stubborn behaviour in children with Sonja Latifpour | Parent Talk

    No one likes being told what to do… but kids who are stubborn can find it downright unbearable, as they hold values ​​like responsibility, autonomy, and freedom at the highest level of their scale of values.

     

    “Strong-willed” children are not just “difficult”: it is important to understand that from their point of view, they feel that their integrity is compromised if they are forced to submit to the will of another person. On the contrary, if they are allowed to choose, they will love to cooperate with you!


    This week at Parent Talk podcast we are talking with Sonja Latifpour from Bright Star Counselling about how to manage stubborn in children with Sonja Latipour.

     

    By listening to this episode you will learn many good tips on how to deal with your child’s stubborn behaviour and how to talk to your stubborn child to get their buy-in.

     

    Happy Listening!

  • E165 - How to help children set goals to build independence with Ginny Chui | Parent Talk

    We all know that setting and achieving goals is a life skill necessary for success and happiness, but it’s one that even adults REALLY struggle with. Studies show that only about 8% of people achieve their New Year’s resolutions!

    How can we teach children to set realistic goals — and actually achieve them?

    Research shows that children learn best when they’re playing and enjoying themselves at the same time. Fun experiences increase levels of endorphins, dopamine, and oxygen, all of which promote learning. 

    One problem when kids make goals is that while some children know how to set a goal, they don't understand how to achieve it. They seem to think that just wanting something will somehow make it happen. This can be especially true for gifted children, for whom everything comes easily. This leads to them being discouraged, give up, and deterring future successes.

     

    By helping your child achieve  their goals you will also help them believe in themselves, build

    self confidence and build independence.

     

    Don’t miss this week podcast with Ginny Chui. She will be giving you great tips on how to guide your child set his own goals and achieve them.

     

    Happy listening!

    • An improvement in their executive functioning skills
  • A sense of physical, emotional and social well-being
    • A decrease in unwanted behaviour in children
    • Improved academic performance of students

  • E161 - How to talk about the war with your child with Laura Linn Knight - Parent Talk

    As the war in Ukraine unfolds in front of our eyes, we can't forget that our kids are watching too...


    They're hearing things at school, listening to the news on TV at home, and seeing images on their social media feeds.

    How can parents talk to kids about what's happening in an age-appropriate way?

    To help us navigate this new situation with our child we have asked Laura Linn these questions: 

    • Would you talk about war with your pre-schooler? Or would they be too young? Should they be shielded from this? 
  • What do you say at different age levels? How do you start the conversation?  
  • Should you ask what they know? How do they feel about it?
  • What if they are scared war will come to America? How can you address their fears? How can you make them feel safe and secure?
  • If they ask questions you don't know the answers to, how do you respond? 
  • How can you help your children make sense of war if you can't wrap your own mind around it? 
    •  
    By listening to this episode you will feel more confident and have better skills on how to approach this new reality with your child. Also, you will learn how to answer your child's questions in an age-appropriate way.
     
    If you have any unanswered questions, don't hesitate to contact us!
