 Ep 11 - Talking to your kids | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:34:43

As parents, we talk to much. We need to spend more of our time listening to our kids. While we try to reason and rationalise with our kids, most of the time they're not even listening!

 Ep 10 - Managing challenging behaviour | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:42:52

Managing behaviour is a big part of a parent's role. But sometimes kids don't respond as we'd like, and we become frustrated and often feel helpless. If this is you, you're not alone. Even your host, Tim Dansie, who has spent his career working with children, has had moments where he has blown up in a battle with the kids! But how we respond is so important. It's crucial to rectify the situation and apologise where necessary. If a child is displaying ongoing challenging behaviours, Tim reminds listeners to keep it simple. Focus on one thing at a time. And the first place Tim starts is to look for patterns in behaviour. What is the cause? Then, why is the child acting a certain way? And then how is the child responding?

 Ep 8 - Kids and technology | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:43:26

Technology causes both parents and children enormous stress.

Online bullying and predatory behaviour are also major concerns, while addiction to technology is also a growing problem seen by Tim Dansie in his psychology practice.
