Change is hard - especially trying to change things that are abstract. Moods, anxieties, fears, frustrations, are all swirling around in our minds and it can feel like an endless loop. Retraining your brain to respond differently is not like riding a bike, but it definitely gets easier when you find your mental training wheels. And it starts with tuning into the story in your mind…

Trust is hard. Trusting timing, trusting our bodies, trusting our partners, friends, kids. It requires hope and faith, concepts that are dwindling in our society. And it’s no wonder, living in a society full of uncertainty, turmoil and constant change. So go easy on yourself, good things take time and better things can happen after the “wrong” turn ⤵️ but if you do need support, please reach out 🤝

I could go on and on about play. ➕About the benefits. 💕The connection boost. 🤱How it incorporating into our lives enrich both children and their parents wellbeing. But really what I’ve really found is that parents have lost their sense of play. Caught up in the overscheduling, overworked and loosing themselves in the process. 🗓️So this is your reminder - when you do things you love, keeping your own identity, you will find more joy, patience and presence in playing with your kids. And you may even start to look forward to it. ⚡️Children feel our energy so invest in yourself to become the best parent you can be.

Love it or hate it, technology is a part of our kids lives. But HOW and WHEN it is used is up to you. Technology can be an incredible vice when incorporated as part of a balanced lifestyle.

This post is for those times 💫 Which strategy can you try with your kids?!

I wanted to do an experiment….
To really find out what parents were concerned about I took a screenshot of this search. And the results are in… 1. Attention 2. Relationships 3. Sleep 4. Development 5. Busyness/destructiveness and… 5. Trying to understand Centrelink 😅 in this modern age I am not surprised that attention came in at number 1. And I have an amazing resource coming very soon that addresses the biggest issue facing parents today… screens. Stay tuned!! 👀 Did any of these surprise you? What would you add?

Check out these examples of simple fun-structions you can use ANYWHERE - needing to leave the house? Fun-struct. Need to get your child dressed or brush their teeth? Fun-struct. Need to leave the park? Fun-struct.

The key to a successful fun-struct is to show energy and playfulness behind what you say. No point saying "COME FIND ME" with your arms crossed and using a firm tone. Children are very perceptive and will know if you are 'putting it on'. Depending on the age of your child, these can be adapted to use their favourite characters, idols, literally anything that can make following the instruction more interesting.

For example - if your child loves Sonic, ask them to run as fast as Sonic to the front door, or do a super-sonic teeth clean.

Need more ideas? DM me the word 'funstruction' and I'll give you more ideas.

PARENTING SUPERSKILL INCOMING >>>

I've been thinking a lot about core skills that really help parents in their everyday lives. One that I have used (and often teach) is how to incorporate PLAY into any interaction with your child.

The key is to find YOUR way of play and humour that feels right for you and your child. You'd be surprised how much a funny voice or silly face makes it irresistible for your child to cooperate PLUS makes the whole interaction more enjoyable for you both.

STAY TUNED for tomorrow's post to learn more about how you can incorporate fun-struction at home!
