In this episode, Ashleigh shares ideas on ways we can support our kids through the joy of reading stories. She explores how this can help children release emotional energy in their system, which will inevitably reduce challenging behaviour.

Through personal stories of supporting her own kids, Ashleigh shares ways she has used books to support them to feel their vulnerable feelings and release their tears, moving around any walls of protection they had built and getting to the deeper feelings they were holding.

Today I am chatting with Bridget Wood, a thought leader on human behaviour and a mother to three young children. When it comes to raising cooperative and mature children, one of the key pieces of the puzzle is us, the parents, doing our own inner work. In this episode we chat about how children express the very things we find difficult to accept in ourselves, why creating a healthy relationship with difficult emotions is essential and what impact unconditional love has on behaviour. This is one of those episodes you'll want to listen to again and again!

Today Lael Stone joins me to talk about playful parenting. She is an author, speaker, parenting educator and consultant that specialises in helping adults process their childhood trauma. She says, If you were to ask me what it is that I do, I could sum it up in a sentence; “I speak for the heart of the child.” Today we talk all about playful parenting. We discuss why it's so important, how it helps gain cooperation and we give practical examples of what playful parenting looks like for transitions, bed time, getting dressed, brushing teeth, when there is a new baby and so much more.

This podcast episode is all about what to reflect on when we have acted outdside of our value system. Often our unconscious fears and deeper desires are what are driving those reactions and becoming aware of those is such a powerful way to be able to address the issue at the core.
