In this episode we speak to another highly experienced professional about the important topic of poos and wees. Lisa Smith is a children’s continence nurse and has been working with children and families for many years. You will hear Lisa explain how the bowel is like a second brain! Truly. The bowel is impacted by our emotions much like our brain. So the topic of poos and wees is actually a complex and important one. Lisa’s knowledge is a crucial resource for families needing more information about number ones and number twos. Toilet training is not the end of the road, and we are sure adults listening will learn important tips to make sure our health is kept in shape.

Bailey runs the Instagram adventure parenting page Spirit and Guts (link below). She and Madeleine have a rich and important discussion on emotional intelligence. Helping our children to manage their emotions when they’re young can really set them up for the future. Bailey’s graduate school experience gives her an excellent base of knowledge but is also willing to admit that the process of teaching emotional intelligence to children is difficult. This discussion is so valuable for all parents and generally the importance of understanding our emotions.
