S2 Ep7 The Kid That Won't Sleep, Friendship Challenges & The Kid That Lashes Out!

Three great questions from three brave listeners this week and to start with a discussion about online safety. "Cilter" is a new technology that is being developed to ease every parents nightmares. Mobile phones seem to be an essential item our kids have to have, yet the minute they possess one we are putting them in danger. It’s a hard circle to square. We need safety systems to protect our kids. Cilter needs your help. Get in touch http://www.kidsonlinesafetyresearch.ie/ and help inform the development of this much needed technology. Question 1- A very sleep deprived mom of four gets in touch after trying everything to keep her 7 year old in his own bed at night. It’s a daunting one for Tina as this incredible mum seems to have already exhausted all the go to resources. Question 2:Friendship problems just never go away. How do we help guide our kids through the constant friendship turmoils. Do we need to watch our own language and emotions that tend to resurface when we are triggered by our own past friendship experiences? Question 3- What do you do when what used to make your baby a sassy little lady is now more worrying. Hitting out not only at home but at strangers in the supermarket. How can you help your toddler know what we use our hands for and how to appropriately express their feelings.
