When Having A Phone Goes Bad! Crossing A Line Or Trying To Help? S2E36

Season 3 will return in September. Our emails will always be attended [email protected] is the address to send whatever issues you're having or solutions you have stumbled upon. We would love to hear from you.

Question 1 "That Won't Be Cute Much Longer!"

This week a worried aunt gets in touch about her nephew's out of control behaviour. She is worried about his transition from the "isn’t he cute" phase to the "can you stop being such a little bollox" phase. Can she intervene and help his parents or is any intervention deemed as over stepping? 

Question 2 "Should Their Phone Be Your Phone?"

We are in the Wild West of mobile phones. Children seem to be getting access to them younger and younger every year. When we hand over such a massive responsibility to our children without any real guidance can we really blame them when it ends up getting them in all kinds of trouble. When we can’t really avoid our kids having mobile phones, how can we help direct them to stay safe while using them? 

Question 3 "Nightmare At Home, Angel In School!"

The troublesome three year old has taken over from the terrible twos. Every week we get emails in from parents at the end of their tether with their three year old mood swings. This week is no different. Frustration is nearly always the explanation to why your child might be misbehaving. Identify the frustration and you’ll get to the root of the cause. It is only then that real change and emotional growth can begin. Trust me, three year olds are my bag, these suggestions on coping with their outburst really do work.
