The Parenting Podcast: Growing and Learning Together

I see very good practitioners, in any field, not just education being promoted to management positions and then quickly falling flat on their face!

The all singing, all dancing management position you've wanted for so long is all very well, but what training have you had to actually deal with the people? Especially when the going gets tough?! 

In this episode, I share with you how to navigate those tough conversations, the ones that make you go weak at the knees, the one where your mouth goes dry and you just want to run a mile! 

Dealing with potential conflict or confrontation is a real challenge and none of us want to feel out of control, under pressure and experience feelings of failure. I'll help you feel a little more confident and resilient and show you a few tips and tricks on how to handle these situations. 

Your team will thank you for it and you will feel so much better.

I love this topic! 

If you are someone who has just started in a leadership role, leading and managing people is absolutely key to the success of your nursery. 

When your team know you, when they like you, and when they trust you....you're in! 

This takes time and when it happens, it is utterly beautiful, the team are in flow, parents are happy and children thrive. 

In this episode I love getting into the nitty gritty of what I mean about Know, Like and Trust and I hope it helps you to make long lasting relationships with your team.

In this episode I share with you 3 of my top skills you can learn to be a great leader. 

Being Captain of your Ship is a game changer with no need for authoritarian, top down management (I can't even call that leadership!). It just doesn't work, people don't want that in the way they work any more. 

Being with your team, knowing your role, knowing that you are there as their safe harbour and anchor should they need you is a delight in leadership. 

And wait for the bit about how it feels when your team start working for you - such a sweet spot and you know you're doing well as a leader when you get to this point. 

Enjoy and if you'd like to find out how we can work together to learn these skills, you know where to find me.

In this episode, I hope I can give you some inspiration to understand that giving yourself the gift of TIME is so essential, whether you're a Nursery Manager, Nursery Owner (any leader in fact) or a parent. 

You cannot give 100% of your energy, focus and give it your full attention, if you don't make time for yourself first. You cannot lead a team or a family on 40% for very long that's for sure, without the B word happening, and we do not want to be burnt out (sorry, said it). No-one benefits from you then!

Give your team more time, give your family more time by giving yourself more time first. 

I cannot recommend it enough.

These big emotions  and feelings are horrendous to deal with don't you think?  
They come to all of us through out our lives and being emotional intelligent is absolute key when it comes to navigate, manage and move through them, without allowing them to take over. 

It's such a good idea to teach our children about these big emotions from an early age. In this episode, I share how I supported a mum through a time when her child came out of school disappointed, and rather than just dismissing and glazing over how he felt, how it is better to feel into that with him, teach him how to articulate the feelings he is experiencing and  share ways in which he can accept and manage them. 

It was pretty powerful. 

I hope it helps and you enjoy my thoughts.

I had a chat with a mummy recently and she wasn't sure how to talk to her son about her mum who had passed away.

It's interesting because we expect children to react in the same way about death as we do, but more often the not and the younger they are, they see it as an event with little emotion, but they will have plenty of questions.

In this episode I explore how children respond and how you can support them and yourself through these sad times.

Let me know if it helps.

Following a lovely conversation with one of my mummies, she had an epiphany and realised that by allowing herself to take time to fill her own emotional bucket and spending time on herself, meant that she was emotionally available for her child more of the time. 
It's a must!
So, I allow you permission to take some time out and focus on you. 
You are so worth it.

I look forward to hearing from you. 

I was triggered recently. I saw a dad lose it with his child who was having a disagreement with their sibling, pushed them out of the door of the shop in front of everyone...by the ear! It was unpleasant to watch.

I try so hard not to judge anyone because you never know what's going on for parents and children but this was a tough one I must say.

However, I do believe that whatever is going on for you, it is not fair to take it out on your children. Just because you are emotional and triggered, they may be too but they don't know how to deal with these big emotions. They look at us for support and guidance and when we lose it, you can create a scenario where the child feels unsafe sharing difficult situations with you, and believe me, when they are in difficult situations as they grow older, you'll want to be the first person they come to. So, we have to create that safe harbour for our child to be able to express themselves as comes naturally to them and we are there to support them through it.

This dad could have taken a step back, regulated himself and asked the children to step out so they could have a chat together and try and resolve the conflict. Everyone would have felt heard and safe to react emotionally knowing dad had their back.

I wish I could have helped him.

I've got my own version of sleep training and it all has to start with you.

In this episode, I share with you how with the right mindset, the right environment and tuning into your child when they are ready for sleep,  creates a much calmer way of supporting your child to naturally develop sleep routines.
