The Behaviour Blogs ~ Part 9 ~ If You Don’t Set Boundaries For Your Kids Who Will?
The gift of self discipline Kids who are taught through loving, fair discipline are happier, feel more secure, do better at school, don’t go off the rails so easily with drugs or drink and negotiate and function in the world far more easily. Without rules and parental guidelines kids don’t develop their own inner controls […]
The Behaviour Blogs Part 8 ~ Influence Your Kids Rather Than Control Them
As a former Deputy Head and class teacher for over 25 years I discovered that it was my job to inspire kids to behave for the right reasons.

The Behaviour Blogs ~ Part 5 ‘Being A Best Friend’

The Behaviour Blogs Series ~ Part 3 The Problem is NOT Your Child……
I think it helps to shift your perspective away from damaging your child’s self esteem to looking at the problem. Here’s a simple way to do that – just say inside your head when you are getting stressed or wound up…. The problem is the problem – not my child. Detach the behaviour from your […]
The Behaviour Blogs Part 2 – Updating Your Toolbox
Successful parents have a wide range of options open to them. Over the years (through often trial and error) they have collected skills, strategies and techniques that they have stored away for possible use. A metaphor I use a lot when I’m giving my Lunch & Learn One Hour Talks is to imagine that you are […]
