S2 Ep4 My Kid's Imaginary Friend Is Melting My Head, Haircuts & The Silent Treatment

Tina needs all 20 years of her experience in child behaviour and teaching to find answers for this week's questions. Honey! You're Ruining Our Kid - the zero judgement parenting podcast - returns for another week of anonymously submitted questions from listeners across the world. Everyone thinks their kid is the only one with oddly specific difficult behaviours. You are never on your own.

Question 1

An imaginary friend who is leading a child astray. How do you get your child to engage their conscience so that they can know the difference between right and wrong?

Question 2

A kid who won’t stop cutting her friends' hair at school. How do you make her stop? Tina suggests more cutting opportunities at home with different textures. Finding a way to fulfil this child’s sensory need without it resulting in another unwanted haircut is the challenge.

Question 3

A parent gets in touch worried their child is being bullied. This is a concern that is shared by just about every parent at some point or another. Tina and Jarlath offer some guidance in how to find out for sure.
