  • How Children Learn and Thrive: Swapping discipline with empathy and education
    The online example used to give it the word 'discipline' context is:
    "a lack of proper parental and school discipline"
    and the synonyms include: control, regulation, direction, order, authority, rule, strictness, a firm hand
    Hmmm? Is this what parenting is about? Control, Authority, and Strictness?
    Or is parenting about nurturing and educating our children to become the best they can be for themselves, their families and their communities?

  • Work-Life Balance: crafting a life you love. Doing it for yourself & your family
    Most parents today say they don’t have work-life balance. In this interview inspirational speaker Dr Robyn Mills (www.RobynMills.com.au) and parenting expert Dr Rosina McAlpine (www.DrRosina.com) discuss 5 steps to crafting and living a life you love and offer positive parenting advice.
    Key 1: Take time to re-evaluate your life
    Key 2: Have a clear vision for yourself and your family
    Key 3: Make your changes small, incremental and systematic
    Key 4: Be OK with mistakes, setbacks and become resilient
    Key 5: Enjoy and be grateful your life every day.
    When we focus on the wonderful positive things in our lives we are less likely to feel anxious, depressed or defeated. Seeing the positive helps us feel good about our lives and see a bright future.
    We are creatures of habit and changes take time to become embedded in our life – especially if we’ve had bad habits like saying “yes” to everything when we really mean “no”! Be kind and pick yourself up and keep going! Having a buddy (friend, partner, child or other family member) can really help keep you stay on track.
    Come join us and learn more about going from a life that’s Ok to one that makes you shine – you owe it to yourself and your family!

  • Teach your kids to be proactive & problem solve so they're safe and happy
    Parents love their children and so when they see their kids struggle it's natural to want to jump in and help. BUT, this is not always helpful as it teaches them to rely on others to "save them".
    Of course if your child is in physical danger - you move them out of the road first and then have the conversation - but this same rule doesn't always apply in other situations.
    Helping our kids work through problems, rather than solving them for our kids means they are learning how to navigate life safely and successfully.

  • Braco in Australia: Transform with the gaze of pure unconditional love & peace
    Braco is an international phenomenon that defies a simple explanation for his remarkable ability to transmit a force, energy or gift of some kind by silently gazing at groups of people live in person or through the internet. He has been described as a healer, a mystic, a catalyst, a transformer, and other positive labels by the 200,000 people or more that visit him each year around the world to receive some benefit through his gazing.
    “He adopts none of these descriptive labels and goes by the simple name of “Braco,” which means little brother in his native Croatian”
     
    (Michael Salla)
    Today Dr Robyn Mills (PhD)  interviews  Claudia Karrenbauer and Dr. Michael Salla (PhD), It is very exciting to have Braco in Melbourne Australia on the weekend of the 25th - 27th  of April at the Melbourne Show Grounds. Sydney would be May 23-25 and Perth October 16-19.
    Knowing Braco`s gift for about 5 years now, Claudia Karrenbauer MA, has witnessed remarkable transformations and enrichment in her own life and heard the same from many others from across the globe. Being on the spiritual path since her early twenties, she has also successfully worked in the corporate world for more than 20 years. The impact of what Braco shares with the people deeply moves her to support Braco`s work. Claudia is responsible for the organization of Braco`s international schedule. She and her family have their home in Germany.
     
    Michael Salla has taught international peace and conflict resolution at American University and George Washington University, in Washington DC.

  • Old head on new shoulders: parenting to give kids the wisdom of experience
    Presenters: Inspirational speaker Dr Robyn Mills www.RobynMills.com.au
    Dr Rosina McAlpine parenting expert: life skills for kids in 15 minutes at a time www.DrRosina.com   
    How many times have we wished we could put an old head on new shoulders? I know my life would have been different if I only knew back then what I know now. Of course our children need to live and learn thorugh their own experiences and we don't want to stifle their new ideas and ways of being. However, there is room for parents, grandparents and teachers to share the life experiences and the insights that come from the wisdom of hindsight to inspire our youth to be the best version of themselves they can be. Here are some of our life insights
    1. Its OK to be me... I dont have to be like others to be liked or fit in.
    2. Be kind to yourself. Listen for any limiting beliefs, negative self talk or negative overgeneralisations and replace them with more empowering thoughts and beliefs.
    3. Have a vision, follow your dream but know that it could get rocky on the way and that like the "little engine that could" being resilient and persistent, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles, is the way to personal growth and success. Life is filled with ups and downs and while we can't control what happens around us - we can learn how to find strength inside and manage what happens within us
    4. Be kind and, at least be open to, listening to your parents. They are your biggest cheer leaders and while it doesn't always seem that way - they have your best interest at heart...
