Parenthood

This week’s solo episode is all about how I (try to) discipline my kids. I reflect on whether yelling is worth my energy or time and does it have the impact I was hoping for. Whether reward systems actually work and how I’m using them to instil positive habits. Why mapping out the day and key activities ahead of time has been a game-changer. Whether bribery is a necessary evil, why empty threats are so easy to give and so much more. If you’re keen to get your kids to do what you want them to do – or try to – this  one is for you. InstagramFollow Parenthood on Instagram @parenthoodpod ShareWe’d love it if you could share this episode with a friend! Parenthood Podcast acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of theland on which we work and live, and recognise their continuingconnection toland, water and community.

This week’s solo episode is all about my anxiety around meal time. Specifically my kid’s meal time. One kid is a bottomless pit and the other has a beige diet preference. Meaning one eats us out of the house and we’re lucky if we get 2 spoons of rice into our other kid. In this episode I talk about how I’m trying to get my kid to finish a meal and have a well-balanced diet. Whilst not comparing my kids to every other kid who’s eating raw capsicums. If your life also feels a lil stress around the kid food front,this one is for you. InstagramFollow Parenthood on Instagram @parenthoodpod ShareWe’d love it if you could share this episode with a friend! Parenthood Podcast acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of theland on which we work and live, and recognise their continuingconnection toland, water and community.
