The Expert Guide to Parenthood Parents You’ve Got This

How can we create peace as busy parents? As parents we like to feel like we’ve got this - we have some form of control over the unpredictability of parent life.

Unfortunately, not everything always goes to plan. Sometimes we are juggling a million balls, tossing and turning with busy minds, worrying and waiting for results, berating ourselves for not doing things differently. It’s all part of parenthood.

We are joined by Denis Orloff, our Mindfulness, Yoga and Self Care Expert and founder of Yoga LYFE as she shares some strategies to help with, stress, the juggle and guilt!

Our children are all born with different temperaments. How do we know what temperament our child has? How do we best support their temperament appropriately?

We discuss:
- Are our children born with their temperament or is it developed from their environment?- Different temperaments our children can have- How to bring the best out of our children based on their temperament- The role environmental and parenting styles play- The best language to use if we have a ‘shy child’ or a child who likes to hang back- How to help an extraverted child with friendships- How to help our children harness their temperament and understand it- How to help our children when hormones come into play and what the key ages are as a parent to be mindful of- How to parent multiple children with different temperaments
