Beanstalk: Real Talk for Single Mums

The Truth About Perfect Parenting & Ways to Calm Anxious Kids


Listen Later

If your child’s worries or meltdowns leave you wrung out, this warm, practical chat with counsellor + parent coach Sarah Florenze will help you steady yourself, calm your child, and drop the pressure of perfect parenting. We cover growth mindset for mums, how perfectionism shows up (and why it’s really about safety), red flags that signal extra support, and two tiny tools you can try tonight.

 

In this episode you’ll learn:

  • Why connection beats perfection (and how to get present fast)

  • Early signs a child’s anxiety needs more support (sleep, school, appetite, physical cues)

  • Counselling vs parent coaching — which one fits your family right now

  • Two soothing rituals: Night-Walk Star Chat + 20-Minute Child-Led Time
