    Your Child's Shoes: What you need to know

    We’re putting the spotlight on something you probably use every single day, but might not think twice about: your kids’ shoes. Are they really supporting your child’s growing feet? Do toddlers need arch support? And what about hand-me-down sneakers, are they OK to use? To answer these questions and more, in this episode of Parents You’ve Got This - The Expert Guide to Parenthood Podcast we are joined by leading Melbourne-based podiatrist Julie Rovas, who specialises in children’s feet. With more than 30 years of expertise Julie helps us to understand footwear and why choosing the perfect shoe is so important for your child. We discuss: Why is choosing the right shoe important for children? What age or at what stage should parents start to consider footwear for their children? Is there a certain type of shoe little ones should begin with? What are the key things parents should look for when choosing a shoe?(should there be a thumb space for growing) Do children need arch support in their shoes or is bare feet best? How do you feel about hand-me-down shoes? What are some common shoes related mistakes parents make? How often should parents be checking their children’s shoe size? Can wearing the wrong size shoes affect the development of a child's foot and or their posture? What are your thoughts on thongs, slip on shoes like crocs for kids' feet?

    Pregnancy Worries

    Pregnancy is often described as a magical time, but for many expecting parents, it's also a time filled with worry, guilt, and overwhelming emotions. From questioning every choice to fearing the worst, these feelings can cast a shadow over what’s 'supposed to be' a happy time.  In this episode of Parents You’ve Got This - The Expert Guide to Parenthood Podcast we’re joined by Dr Carrie Haywood, our clinical Psychologist Expert to talk about the emotional realities of pregnancy, and how we can navigate the journey. We discuss: Has social media contributed to women worrying more intensely in pregnancy than ever before What are some of the typical worries women have in pregnancy?   Why do worries show up so strongly during pregnancy? What are some of the most common guilt triggers you see as a Psychologist for women in pregnancy? How much of what women worry about is internal or brought on by external influences? What are some signs that anxiety in pregnancy may be getting out of hand and that you may need to reach out for support? How does perfectionism play into the guilt many expectant parents feel? What are some strategies to help pregnant women not feed the worry well? What would you say to a pregnant Mama who feels like they’re already “messing up” before the baby even arrives? Do you have any advice around embracing the unknown and having confidence in listening to your mothering instinct and letting the journey unfold.
