Ep 22 You're So Messy, I Bet You've Made A Mess While I Said This, Anxious Sleepers & More

Messy kids, anxious kids and kids that won't sleep in their own bed! This week we go around the world answering emails from people peppered all over the globe. Do you adore your children? Of course we all do - most of the time. But is there something that they are doing that is driving you around the twist. This week Tina helps a lovely mum organise her kids' messy habits. Children flipping love rules and boundaries - right? Surprisingly yes, they do! Nothing is more calming to a child than knowing what is expected of them. Realising your child hasn’t just been complaining and is actually struggling with anxiety is a tough pill to swallow. Lucky is the child whose parents realised this when listening to an episode of Honey You’re Ruining Our Kid. Getting in touch, reaching out for help is the right thing to do. This podcast is here to help. The Colour Monster gets another shout out. An incredible book that helps children understand their feelings. Helping our children know that all feelings are valid is important. Normalising all feelings is imperative to our kids' development. Does your child refuse to stay in their own bed? This is a common problem for all sleep deprived parents. Tina helps a listener feel empowered to get their sleep back on track in their house. Extra juicy bit - A follow up with the shoe dilemma child (the kid that refused to wear shoes) is up on Patreon this week.
