We had so many phenomenal questions, feedback and advice following the latest episode that we've decided to break up the reflection into two parts. We hope you enjoy this chat about how we can use the science of how kids learn to guide them through behavioural challenges.

Behavioural difficulties are one of the most challenges aspects of supporting kids of all ages. Understanding what influences behaviour gives us insight into how we can best guide our kids when they are struggling. Just like Sidney does for Billy in White Men Can't Jump, the trick is setting them up to learn whatever skill they are struggling with, from the dribble to the dunk.

In this reflection episode we explore the challenges of breaking cycles and building wellbeing in ourselves and the kids we support. Some great examples of how to apply these principles in real life from listeners too. Thanks to everyone who contributed and we hope you enjoy the discussion.

In this episode Nick and Billy talk about how we can all get caught up in the daily grind and feel like we are stuck in a negative cycle, just like Groundhog Day! There is hope however in the evidence of positive psychology which can guide how we build our own wellbeing and that of the children in our lives. We hope you enjoy listening to the episode as much as we enjoyed recording it. Please send in your questions and suggestions about how we can all improve in terms of looking after our own wellbeing and the kids we support.

So many amazing questions this week! In rapid fire we cover starting age, changing school, homework, help seeking and building partnerships with educators. Our long questions dive into choosing the right school, kids who are struggling with peers, separation anxiety, parental guilt and so much more! Thank you to everyone who sent in questions and we hope you enjoy the episode!

In our first episode back for the year we discuss how we can support the children in our lives to succeed at school, especially in their social and emotional development. From their first days in childcare to those big school transitions there is so much we can do to set them up or help them get back on track if things have become tough. We hope you enjoy and can't wait to hear your questions!

For the first half of our Christmas special we read out our favourite Griswolds and Winslows from listeners, thank you to everyone who sent them in! Then we chat about Die Hard and the benefit of investing in the relationships that matter to us over this holiday break. Thank you to all the fans for a wonderful year!

In this reflection episode we answer listener questions about how to practically apply mental health first aid as family members and professionals supporting children. Thank you to all the generous listeners who sent in their honest and difficult situations, helping us discuss challenges such as avoidance, aggression, self-harm, suicidal thinking and our own mental health first aid.

This week Nick and Billy chat about the amazing movie Thelma & Louise, how it relates to mental illness and then dive into a practical approach to supporting kids who are struggling. We can't wait to hear what you think and read the questions you send in!

Our developmental trauma reflection episode is our longest yet and for good reason. We had so many amazing questions sent in and we hope we did them justice. Thank you to our phenomenal, honest and vulnerable community.
