CALM AND CONNECTED - EPISODE 105
I’m excited to be speaking to world renowned parent expert Sue Atkins on this episode of the Calm & Connected podcast. We discuss the pro’s and con’s of having an outspoken child, they may make your life difficult but don’t you want a child who can stand up for themselves? Children are naturally so curious so it’s our job as their parents to help them learn and explore the world, not dull their experience so we don’t have to put the effort in.
The topics we cover in this episode are;
Why do kids ask ‘Why?’ so much? And what can we do about it?
Toddlers, independence and saying ‘no’
The importance of slowing down in parenthood
How can parents support their kids while coming out of the pandemic?
How beneficial it can be for your child to see you relax
Don’t be a perfect parent
The 4 C’s; Connection, Count, Capable, Courage
Enjoying the journey, not just focusing on the destination
