46. Dial up the hygge - parenting through the hard parts of the day

from Curious not Furious · host Louise Brooks

When parenting feels like pure survival, hygge can be a lifeline.In this episode, I’m joined by Ellie Kelly, forest school leader of Wonderwood Explorers, and I share my perspective as a native Dane on what hygge really is, not just cozy props, but an inner mindset that helps create connection. We explore how this sense of connection supports us in the harder parts of the day, when our children are more likely to follow our lead because they feel safe, seen, and close to us.We also talk about seasonality, and how tuning into the rhythms of nature can support both parents and children through daily challenges.Join my upcoming morning session on self-esteem for pre-and primary schoolers: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1982354137589?aff=oddtdtcreatorFor information about Forest School and family sessions, you can find Ellie on: Www.wonderwoodexplorers.co.ukInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/wonderwoodexplorers/To get weekly tips and parenting inspiration sent straight to your inbox - head over to www.louise-brooks.com to sign up for my weekly newsletter You can follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/parentingsuccesscoaching/And onFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/
