If I could change the law,I’d do this NOW:
#1. Social media accounts become legal only at age 17.
#2. Parents banned from opening up child accounts and profiting exploiting & grooming because that’s what many are doing to their own loved ones for money & fame.
#3. Mobile phones can be purchased at age 18.
#4. Parent can access to ‘block’ receiving texts and calls only if buying for child safety. No access to social accounts.
#5. Governments, owners of social apps and mobile companies to provide literacy on such devices to educate adults. Signing after it has been read so a 2 part process.
#6. Ban on all cellphones during school hours. Confiscation if rule broken.
#7. Bullying via cellphone will result in suspension and possibly expulsion.
Parents you want to protect your children mentally emotionally physically it starts here with YOU first. Although the above is not in place yet, it is my hope YOU do all you can to protect your own children in this virtual space because it’s not going away, so how will you step UP.
You wouldn’t throw your children in a room full of pedophiles would you or a room full of sexual traffickers or a room full of criminals wanting to exploit & harm your child, or a room full of bullies ready to kick your childs head in. Or a room full of people throwing verbal abuse at your child,chipping away at their personal appearance.
Wake up, wake up. Do Something and DO IT NOW.
🌟And for the record if some of you reading are truly offended by this post, YOU are the problem. Our children are in a CRISIS they need YOU to do all you can,even if they are opposing, your job is to do right by them!
Please do not confuse my passion with aggression JO x
Are you a parent on board? 📱
If we are to align our words & actions with integrity, we have to acknowledge the truth in this post.
Would love to hear your thoughts on this relevant situation. Jo xx

The Royals yet again show their strong parenting skills, navigating the calm & confident energy needed in highly charged fun experiences. Please read my side note on this,many of us know exactly the assertive energy and parental leadership it takes to make an experience run ‘smoother’..
Bravo to the Royals and bravo to all of you families out there doing this every day, accepting & holding space for your children to show up exactly who they are, which of course is perfect in every way!! ❤️ Jo Frost Global Parenting Expert and Childcare Specialist.

The audacity of my mum,she goes abroad too often!
My mom says she can’t babysit on a weekend after only looking after my child 4 days a week!
The emails flow with entitled parents thinking it’s their parents job, the grandparents should facilitate their life choices beyond raising them, it’s astounding truly.
I know many countries are drastically underserved with consideration from governments to fix the childcare crisis,and many politicians don’t see that it’s an educational crisis for our very young at a time they are rapidly learning,whilst parents are out there needing to work to survive.
The subject matter remains a 🔥 one,shouldn’t we be letting grandparents be simply grandparents, have they not earned that on the wheel of life?
What’s your thoughts on this matter,please share ?

Please stop listening to these professionals who claim you have to be lying by your childs side literally until they fall asleep each night, it is utter rubbish.
In fact you know yourselves as you have witnessed with your very own eyes for 2 decades,you’ve watch me publicly help & guide families through this process of creating healthier bedtimes until they were getting it right for their children…and once you saw the difficulty of the initial transition overcome, Boom 💥 it was done! And everybody got 40 winks and life ran smoother for the child and the parents.
A child will fall asleep with ease and comfort if provided all they need to feel safe and secure bottom line. This phase is so short,it should not be a forever problem.
There is ALWAYS a reason why children don’t want to sleep, always and when you get to the root of the cause you can make good for your child. I’ve been helping families for over three decades successfully get this right from infant to young adult.
My success rate is impeccable.
Parents you must feel so confused with all the conflicting advice but today I had to stand my ground for your sake and most importantly your childs – Jo xx

Just saying……🤷♀️
Imagine being able to repair after that conversation, imagine feeling so emotionally closer & connected to your teenager,even more so than you did with your own parents?
How did this post make you feel? Jo x
#HelpingFamiliesShine💫
Be okay with your children not being okay all the time. Trying to please your child constantly leads to absolute misery. Enough of the ‘ I don’t want my kids left out’ stand by your family values,your principles, your word. It won’t make sense to them now but you know it will when they’re older. Focus on the long term impact of your parental decisions and responsibilities and not immediate gratification.
Do you agree ?

#HelpingFamiliesShine💫
It is absolutely 💯 okay parents to have standards, realistic ones that teach your children the importance of how they show up around others and themselves. There is so much information out there on social media that doesn’t support the ‘middle’ just polarizing parenting philosophy and it’s crippling alot of you parents with dread.
Yes our honor our role is to create the landscape our children can thrive in with freedom in their formative years AND also teach them social conduct, respectful attitudes by modeling as such ourselves too. That’s not traditional that’s just COMMON SENSE to me. Jo xx
#HelpingFamiliesShine💫
Children should say ‘Sorry’. There’s room and many valuable moments to teach a child to reflect,repair and empathize when talking about one’s behaviour and the impact it has on others. Eventually they do understand. You start from the very beginning of the early toddler years.
It’s the same when we prompt our children to say ‘Thank you’ they don’t at first get it when very young or understand gratitude and the manners of such receiving, however it is our hope through our consistent parenting they eventually will. 😊
Are you a parent that teaches your children?

Don’t underestimate the strength it took to do as such in order to save your own sanity from those who chose to disregard it. [ Even when you knew what the ramifications would be.]
Consulting many families through this journey is not an easy task but one that is vital and one that I believe is such an individual process no matter how much they read on this matter…. Today I’m sending love to all who are healing from such, especially with the Christmas festivities drawing near.
You are certainly not alone as I hope you will see from the comments I truly hope some will leave. Jo Xx💖
Let’s start the week of right.
Here’s a few:
Phones outside bedrooms
Communication without distractions, Sharing gratitude at dinner time.
Hygiene for self/surroundings.
Family time
Reading a chapter a night.
Intentional activity/walking the dog
Calming or hyping up to release and laugh.
Eating as a family….and the list goes on and on…..
Jo x
What rituals do you have that benefit you or your family? All suggestions please
I have a feeling you’re going to inspire.💖
#helpingfamiliesshine💫
So what could it look like if you felt & acknowledged, gave yourself compassion, If it wasn’t the phone you were using?
Maybe :
A hot tea, just simply watching what’s going on in the room.
Sitting in silence in a lounge chair taking some intentional breathes.
Stretching to loosen up the tightness of your body slowly or swinging to release.
Reading a book aloud cuddled up with child.
Laying with your child and just listening and looking at their face.
Humming repetitively so you can feel the vibration.
The above are more healthier ways that will nourish your whole self more lovingly and not deplete.
Which one is doable for you or do you have your own one? Jo xx

Investing financially in your family is the real flex, not for just this new year but as a continuous journey. We spend money on so many other things YET we fall short on pirotizing our parental challenges when we are seriously struggling, the excuses you give yourselves…..
Yet most of us know if it’s not happening at home, it’s really not happening anywhere deep down. Even our own governments in society don’t value family and financially invest in us.
Maybe you dont think it’s ‘sexy’ enough where you can pose and put it up on your IG but maybe we should….maybe we should see it as ‘sexy’ because to me a family that’s willing to committ to growth & connection and get it right for their children, that right there is HOT 🔥 ♥️ let’s change the narrative, let’s be happily INVESTING in our relationships, our family, ourselves. Seek the help you need and change it. Jo xx

It would be easy to direct this towards the children however in my decades of experience coaching families, entitlement is not for the lack of children not learning how to…as many parents do and yes many need to but more a case of parents going inwards acknowledging the boundaries they do not keep for themselves, the enabling they commitment to with their teens when they are striving for more independance, the anxiety that drives the parent, the guilt to do do and do….and in the mix the once appreciated becomes the expected that becomes the entitlement.
What behavour have you committed to that you feel now you could change courageously as that would be the start of much change? xxJo
#helpingfamiliesshine💫
It’s an uncomfortable truth, Parents are defensive with teachers, but is it really against them or is it a projection of the frustration you feel with the lack of support given from the school system?
Teachers are leaving in horrific numbers because they are dedicated professionals whom have been subjected to behaviour that should not be tolerated but taught otherwise by responsible parents,from manners & respect to using cutlery to bathroom habits and all sorts.
This pit against one another does the child no good when really if parents did their job and Teachers held unions to fight for their school system to support the needs, not wants,but needs would we not be in a different place…would we feel different.
Teachers are now the forgotten heros since covid. They were one minute being praised and now attacked.
Parents perhaps if you were open to hearing,you’d feel less alone.
Governments WAKE UP our children and teachers need the funding and training to facilitate! Look what’s happening.
Parents, Teachers and others reading, I ask you to come together civil to share your thoughts please Jo x

I am thrilled to be joined today by none other than the Supernanny herself, parenting expert @jofrost
We covered so much in this episode, from Jo’s thoughts on kids having phones and being on social media, to the importance of raising awareness of anaphylaxis, and the biggest struggles families are facing right now.
I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

I love to serve,guiding families professionally,coaching them through adversity everyday to be in a better place together. However most parents are aware that they are raising,mentoring their children through times with little to no empathy & support from those who have the power to change it. I’ve watched agitated as our governments have stripped away resources, staff, training programs, centres in communities that once provided the knowledge, the wisdom and experience. I’m old enough to of witnessed this all.
It is easy to feel defeated yet I’m here to say,I’ve witnessed the enduring spirit of a parent who will not allow external circumstances to impact the family to the core it disrupts the intimacy they have with their family. Not that we should have to put up with the lack of but this message is more of a note to say don’t let the bastards grind you down! You fight for your right to be seen,heard. You take your moment to resurface after repair and show your children that when it gets tough,we come together and push forward and grab the awe inspiring moments in life too and the daily fun moments. Most parents tell me Jo I’d die for my kids…I say how about we LIVE for our kids!
We are coming into the new, for spring is rebirth,so drop the bad habits, the old thinking, the shit that no longer serves you or your family anymore,put the healthy boundaries in place,set up the new practices, put in the time to truly invest in your family,yourselves in ways that make a difference and go for it!! Shit guys you made it out of a God dam pandemic!! You got this,the one thing you have got is the control to change YOU and in turn it will change things around you and your family.
Sending you much love Jo xx 🌻
