S2 Ep5 Unmotivated Kids, Anxiety & The Kid That Kicks

If you like your parenting chats to have zero judgement in them, you're in the right place. This week, child behaviourist and early learning expert Tina Regan deals with three questions from our listeners.

Question 1- what can you do to motivate your child? How do you spark their interests in new activities or just normal day to day ones. Tina and Jarlath tease out this question and try and give this parents some guidance on how to ignite the passion for adventure and learning new skills in their child. 

Question 2- deals with a child who is biting, kicking and hitting his mom. She is so overwhelmed and exhausted by his behaviour she doesn’t want to get up in the morning. Jarlath and Tina try and come up with an intervention that will get this family back on track and hopefully help this little person to manage their big emotions. 

Question 3 is from a lovely Dad who feels like he’s pushed his son too far. He’s starting to notice signs of anxiety in his sons behaviour and he feels he is the one to be blamed for this. What can you do? How can he repair his relationship with his son? Jarlath and Tina have loads of suggestions to help him through this tricky period.
