.... because you deserve a calmer home. You are going to hear about a parenting approach that is neither punitive nor permissive. Parenting is a journey and every mother, father and caregiver wishes that there was somebody external who could reassure them along the way. What I will offer you are perspectives of different parenting styles and their long-term effects, bearing in mind the future adult we would like to see thriving through this world. Conversations are meant to inspire you, dig deeper and serve as food for thought and what parenting would be like if it was effortless?

    Strong-willed Child = Courageous Child?

    "Power with your Child" Self-paced Parenting Training, Click here: https://www.effortlessparenting.ie/se... Have you ever practised something different as a parent that someone suggested or you saw online? And it didn't work? Or it might have worked once but not the next time? You can't explain why sometimes your child co-operates and other times he or she avoids all your demands. The idea for my latest podcast came from a mum whose child was recently diagnosed with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). What you will hear about is why every child (including neurodivergent) is seeking autonomy and how you can give power in a constructive way. What does making a demand sound like? How many commands does a preschooler receive a day? Finding that balance between parenting with boundaries, rules AND freedom can feel overwhelming. This short video podcast is not to make you feel worse but to encourage you to say less and accomplish more. Here is the why behind the strong-willed child's hidden reason why they resist and what you can do.

Hear about her approach how to “Navigate the Digital Jungle” with a young person rather than controlling screens that may invite defiance and rebellion. Living with technology or being "pro tech and yet protect" this next generation - are skills a parent can learn to feel more empowered and overcome “The Impossible”.

    All brains matter

    Being diagnosed with neurodivergence can feel so disruptive and as if the world is over. Jess Prinsloo (a fellow Positive Discipline Parent Educator) shares her journey of motherhood and how she rides the rollercoaster of life after being diagnosed with Autism and ADHD.  This South African born deeply caring human being would like parents to know that their own or their child's neurodivergence can be looked at through a different lens: “It’s not that it’s a disorder, it’s a variation how brains are created in this wonderful world, we need all of them 🧡."
