Value Bombs:
When the kids were not listening, I questioned my own ability to be a parent.
I’d got to breaking point. Enough was enough.
Their reaction was completely unexpected. I went up stairs to find them happily playing and saying, ‘Thankyou mummy we love it - No that was not my intention!’
When you clear you remove everything that’s not serving you…you’re clearing out the old energy.
I look at my children in such a different way now.
Small changes can be so powerful.

I’m delighted to announce that the winner of beauty sleep bubble bath is Helen she wrote:
“I loved these podcasts. It is so easy to feel overwhelmed by the wealth of advice and guidance out there, describing what to do and not do if you want to be a ‘good’ parent. This offers a totally new approach with simple strategies that really do work. Listening to the play, pause and connect podcast I recognised myself in so much that was said. I am using the pause and connect model with my children and in a short time have seen my communication and bond with them strengthen.”
