S2 EP6 Irrational Fears In Kids, Violent Siblings & Twins That Won't Eat

The number one zero judgement parenting podcast is back with child behaviour specialist Tina Regan and comedian/parenting chancer Jarlath Regan. This week on the show… 

Question 1: An overwhelmed mum gets in touch seeking help with her out of control 5 year old. What do you do when your older child is assaulting your younger child and you can’t get them to stop? Tina and Jarlath draw up a plan of action that will hopefully get her on the path to a happier home life. 

Question 2: There is a lot of talk about bed bugs at the moment, what do you do though if your child can’t sleep because they are convinced that they are covered in them. Tina suggests pivoting the other way completely. Embrace your kids irrational fear of bugs and feed them information that will help them understand an insects purpose. If you’ve had a similar experience please get in touch so we can pass on your advice to this desperately sleep deprived mum. 

Qu 3 : How do you get twins who are refusing to eat to eat their meals? If feeding your twins is all you’re doing in your day you will lose your mind. No mum should have to spend her whole day just trying to get a spoon in their child’s  mouth. What are the alternatives? Listen in and see if you agree with Tina and Jars advice.
