Being aware of what we consume is so very important and not just in terms of what we eat! So what do you consume? What do you eat, read, listen to (besides this podcast LOL), think? Who do you hang out with? Does it all align with you positively? Does it fuel you and help you grow? In this episode, I discuss many ways in which we can hone and refine our consumption. Life is precious, why waste your time consuming anything that is not good for your mind, body and spirit. Tune in...

What does your child think of himself? Is he hard on himself? Does he feel down on himself at times? It's hardly surprising given all he has to try and cope with. In today's episode, I discuss Chapter 2 and 3 from the book "The Gift of ADHD". Understanding that your child's thoughts create his feelings, and that his feelings create his actions / behavior is vitally important to you being able to protect and nurture his developing sense of worth and self-esteem.

When you understand why siblings fight and what they need to learn as a result of it, it makes it much easier to help them work things out without becoming caught up in it with them. The problem is, all too often, and of course with the best of intentions, we become a part of it and when we do, the fighting, arguing and bickering persists, and our kiddos don't develop the skills they need to learn to handle conflict. If you struggle with bickering, arguing, fighting kids, then this one is for you! Tune in...

A saw a quote yesterday by Julie Lythcott-Haims, the author of How To Raise An Adult and it prompted the episode today. I was fortunate to hear her speak at a parenting event I attended a couple of years ago and she was / is nothing short of brilliant. It is so vital that we equip our kids with the life skills they need and not "helicopter" around them, with the best of intentions, of course. Tune in as I explain how you can hope to parent in a way that will raise your child to be an adult with the life skills they need...

Many of us are not bad at setting the boundary ie. saying "You can have 1 hour on your iPad." But how good are we at actually holding the limit and dealing with the inevitable pushback when the hour is up? In almost all the work I do with parents, this is one area where they admit they need help. Do you? If so, tune in as I share my boundary dance secrets...

I am reading a great book at the moment called "The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari" by Robin Sharma, and in it there was a great dialogue about cultivating our minds and cultivating our gardens which inspired me to record this episode. What we "put" in our minds and subject our minds to, and what we choose to listen to is sooooo important and such a great thing to be able to develop a filter for. Tune in...

In today's episode, I discuss Chapter 1 from the book "The Gift of ADHD". Whilst ADHD might not be seen as a "gift", we have to learn to see beyond the confines of the diagnosis and the negativity that the ADHD label might put upon a child and shift our focus to what makes each child with it (or without it) shine. We have to uncover and unleash the gifts that will be there that we just can't see because we are all too often, focused on the downsides of the "disorder". Tune in...

In parts 1 and 2 in this series I talk about the importance of meeting your needs and getting beneath your child's "behavior", and being able to set kickass boundaries, hold the limits and deal with the pushback. You see, if you don't have enough in your tank, you will not be able to deal with the pushback and stay non-reactive, and to add in the teachings from today's episode, nor will you be able to zip it, not say it and not take it personally... all the things you have to be able to do if you hope to stand a chance of preserving your sanity!
