Creating an easy exit from the house with value based parenting strategies - with Suzie Forbes This week we have with us Suzie Forbes, she has a wealth of knowledge in working with children across many ages.As we know one of the frustrations we can sometimes feel when we are about to Grab our Keys and Go, literally heading out the door, is the 'Muuuuum' cry from our kids!When we hear this, we are torn between doing what we do best, holding space for our child, hearing and comforting them or wanting to pretend nothing is happening and just get out of there!Suzie walks us through ways to support our family before this moment even arrives.  Good idea hey!Suzie starts by sharing her beautiful story of 'life in session' as she calls it, where she is in the juggle and the juggle is real, when her children were little and she was the sole carer of their wellbeing.  Again reminding us that our needs can become invisible when we are in this space. It can feel incredibly overwhelming, and it's not easy, but even in this time, Suzie still chose to step up, to be the role model for her children.We do laugh, looking back at these times, but there are some amazing messages in these moments.  Suzie wisely says when it comes to getting our needs met that it's about tapping into our values, understanding what everyone needs to feel safe and supported in the space, and also what each person needs to feel like their cup is full. We are playing the long game here.  To set up an easy exit out the door it requires a thoughtful plan, thoughtful conversations, and setting up spaces for these conversations so everyone in the family feels seen and heard. It is possible.Until next time,Nat and Mel xxooHead over to our Grab Your Keys and Go community for some juicy conversations around the topics of our podcastshttps://www.facebook.com/groups/1921054834941568YOU CAN FIND SUZIE HERE:https://bit.ly/Stop-Fighting-Now-BOOKhttps://www.facebook.com/WonderfulSocietyhttps://www.instagram.com/the.wonderfulsociety
