How to say no; Gentle parenting tips; Language with children; Navigating challenging behaviour, tantrums & boundaries; Understanding the brain... Find out how to preempt squabbles with simple techniques that don't use demands, shame or punishment, but lay the foundation for good mental health. Embedding a whole way of being that encourages participation and emotional safety in little ones.
Listen to our wonderful guests who have lots of experience fostering under 5s and dealing with challenging behaviour - and through working in alternative teaching provision, supporting children with special educational needs. This is the one where Emma and Elliot host an interview with husband & wife, Nigel & Sue, who share their amazing wisdom about approaches to behaviour, discipline, talking to toddlers, managing emotions, and helpful strategies for all sorts of scenarios! Including hearing about their experience of fostering.

Unwind on sleepless nights to a wholesome mix of parenting stories, quirky humour, and cosy crafting. We’re not here to provide answers but to share our experiences, explore how parenting has changed, and build an online community of parents for mutual support.
A fun, honest and unscripted conversation between Emma and Elliot on non-judgemental parenting and millennial-based topics, as we relax on an evening attempting an artistic or creative activity.
We are a project in partnership with The Kairos Movement and supported by The Methodist Church, of which The Kairos Movement is a part.
