When Good Kids Turn Rude, The Poo Hoarding Kid & The Dad Child S2E34

The smell of summer is upon us or is that just panic in the air? How the hell are we going to entertain our kids? Tina can help with that worry on this week’s episode. Plus Jarlath looks back on some hilarious childhood tales, we hear about a kid that treasures his poo and a kid that is all of sudden rude to their mother. Can you get on top of a behaviour that suddenly appears? Tina thinks so.

Question 1- 

What do you do when your kid starts being rude? What is the appropriate response? How can you get your child to stop?

When daddy has fast become the favourite and you feel personally attacked at every turn how do you manage your emotions while surviving your toddler. 

Question 2- 

We all want our children to be proud of themselves but what do you do when they have taken pride in their waste disposal management. This week we hear from a mum whose kid has started storing their poos, spurred on by immense pride in their shites they have fallen into the habit of not only showing their poos off proudly but of saving them and displaying them. 

Question 3- 

The summer break is fast approaching. How will we keep our kids entertained? How will we stop ourselves from losing our minds. Get the family meeting going. Get the wall chart out. Plan the summer as a team. Make it fair, make it fun, make it workable.
