With love from us to you dear families. HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎆🤍 #2025 make it count!
Go figure it out….remember adults telling you this? If you never heard or have never said this occasionally, as an adult,the likely chance is you’ve mow quite a bit with your children. Being so over protective of your child’s own feelings denies them the gift to identify & overcome as a very natural part of their development leading them to become more resilient. So here’s a few pointers to help: Your child must experience consequences so that they can develop problem solving skills and coping skills hopefully from yourself as their role model. Listen to your child,sometimes all they want is your ears & empathy. Encourage more age appropriate activities that will drive their independence and competence. Establish boundaries a big one for many of you. Last but not least, no projecting. Your child’s upset makes you feel uncomfortable, so do learn to get comfortable with that….and if your guidance is needed, you can help without creating co-dependent behavior.

A survey has concluded that came from @netmums today that 50% yes 50% think it’s the teachers AND parents job to potty train their reception age children. This is absolutely astounding news but I’m not professionally surprised because I do believe we are in a parenting crisis where many parents seem to have lost the memo regarding parental responsibilities these days. Parenting has become so polarized leaving many confused, unconfident in their decisions and too many watch social media influencers who lack a lot of wisdom and too many ‘experts’ who claim to know only from their own experience and not a well rounded base of knowledge, practicality or in the field hands on experience and don’t get me started on the young digital creators who talk about parenting who clearly have cribbed info and are as old as some of my lipsticks! Let me put the record straight it is YOUR responsibility,YOUR child that you have the honor of raising. It takes a village is NOT I will sit on my back side and give over my parental duties. Now SENDS children were exempt from the post as many parents are challenged with the developmental difficulties but again I know of many parents with SENDS children that have done a fantastic job at potty training. The bigger issue at play here is the lack of concern parents seem to feel around being proactive towards helping their children accomplish their milestones. Some schools are now asking parents to come in and change their own child, I would expect there will be an influx of potty trained toddlers within the next week just like there were veggie eating toddlers once again through the food shortage during covid! Anyways look success is all in a parents attitude, looking for the signs and acting on them,not giving up and getting rid of those God dam pull ups that confuse the hell out of children. You’re either in or out them. I’ve trained hundreds and hundreds of children successfully and in 1 week, twins, triplets, you name it, so if they are ready let’s go! Help your little ones, that’s your role parents and mine is to help you! For my complete guide please see all info in my Jo Frost Confident Toddler Care book. Jo xx

ADHD children don’t lie to be sneaky they lie to avoid feeling unloved. I’ve spent over 3 decades coaching successfully families with diagnosed and also undiagnosed/ traits of ADHD and I can tell you each family are very special and unique, adult & child. Some with other characteristics like HSP and others with extreme O.D.D but each family when willing to committ to an outcome better, even when feeling strung out with lots of life challenges, make amazing opportunities for themselves as a family and soar. So never give up on yourselves parents so that you teach your children never to give up on themselves too.❤️ 👇🏽 Children with ADHD whom most have Rejection Sensitivity Disphoria, struggle to be honest at times because they attach their behaviour to the low self value of how they see themselves. Meaning, they think, you think badly of them and not the behaviour in question. So it is always important to focus on the family value of honesty when having these many conversations and there will be many. When you know they are not telling the truth because they are fearful of you judging them, you make it about the truth, empathetically and with maturity. This puts you on the same side as your child and course correcting the ‘behavour’ becomes the focus and steers away from a you Vs them. It is not to say you won’t be disappointed or them remorseful or that one ignores accountability but it will bring your child closer to understanding as a family you do value being truthful with eachother and therefore this positive parenting creates a safe space for a child to seek your parental guidance when things don’t always go as perhaps desired. I hope this helps, can you relate? Jo xx 🤍
Social media ,TV, video games,media,radio and marketing,all changing daily… forcing us to condense what truly matters and should require more of our attention into 9 secs, feeding into this frenzy that that’s our attention span…. however the truth is we need to breathe, slow down, find more patience, still our minds of clutter with over consumption and noise, make wiser choices that create healthier habits for the long haul. Over the holidays take this time, to switch off from the distractions that pull you in to take you away from what really matters, carve the balance of rest and vigorous play. If you read this to the end you are one of the people who ‘get it’. Jo xx
Your child’s core memories are not created by you the parent.. you have as much control over your child’s core memories as you do,if & when they decide to pee. HOWEVER…. Your parental role is to provide a vibrant landscape of sensory 360 experiences with the hope that many of those memories that you treasure simply being with them, they will too 🙂 I hope that takes some of the pressure you feel as parents off of your shoulders!
