Welcome to Part 4 of my Raising Wholehearted Children series of blogs
In this 4-part series of blogs, I have been sharing with you how I’ve learned to live deeply into my own truth and how I bring this into my parenting, so that you can raise awesome humans who are brimming with self-esteem.
As a reminder, this series is about helping you build strong and respectful relationships with your child, as well as some tips to help you raise awesome humans. If you missed any of the others and want to catch up, you can read them here. Blog 1, Blog 2 and Blog 3 are here for your pleasure.
Raising Wholehearted Children Step 4: Stop shouting start playing – Sgt Major is not a parenting style!
Today’s blog is about understanding that you have to connect with your child before you have any hope of guiding them to solutions or expecting them to respond to your requests.
As a parent, it can be really easy to fall into the habit of doling out instructions like some kind of...
Boundaries are so often missed when our children are young. We often see the result - and today we're focussing on listening - as a problem to fix when, in reality, you can stop it happening in the first place.
The only way that you'll get your child to really and truly listen to you is if you really and truly listen to them.
P.S. I have the most exciting pee your pants, never been made before offer to work with me that is going to blow your mind. If you want to be the first to find out AND take advantage of the ridiculous Early Bird offer then just fill in the short form from the link below
Yes, I want to be 'first in the know!'
Personal growth is an arduous – but exhilarating – task.
A lot of what I teach is about trusting our inner visions and intentions because the results we’re aiming for are not instant, they take time and energy. But, oh, what results we achieve!
It seems that everybody I come across in my work is looking to be a better version of themselves; they want to have the most incredible relationship with their children.
It’s a universal thing. But here’s the thing – you cannot have an incredible connection with your children if you do not have an incredible relationship and connection with yourself.

What happens when we’re not parenting in the present moment
What I stand for is owning my shizzle and this means getting down & dirty with what’s uncomfortable; delving into our own stories to allow us to grow.
DM me to find out more.
In this space we talk about mental health and emotional health, we talk about raising wholehearted children, we talk about the courage to change your life. I want to talk about the opportunity and the responsibility that you have as an adult, and as a parent, to shape your child’s mind, and to show them by your actions how to get courage and confidence. If any of you know any about the work that I do, I'm on a mission to impact a generation of children to live to their full potential, to become wholehearted, to help them have a childhood that perhaps they don't have to recover from as so many of us have to do as adults.
The way I do that is a unique approach, so most of the work that I do is on the personal transformation and the undoing of the adult’s thought processes because when we change the way we think, we change the way we feel and that changes the way we behave. Then what I do is use increased attachment and...
Can you imagine what kind of world we could live in if every single time we were an observer of our thoughts and instead of choosing negative things we chose to think about joy, about acceptance, about love? Let's talk about procrastination, hands up who loves to procrastinate like me, like to the point I will do so many other things and I will literally start scheduling things into my diary when I have a really important deadline coming up? Do you do that...if so, why? Because we have a thought or belief system running in the background, “You’re not good enough, because that's not gonna be any good, you’re not gonna make it”, or when people laugh at us.
All of these stories, these thoughts that we are choosing to think, Now I know that we did not learn the gift of flight by thinking about sinking, you don't learn how to swim by thinking about drowning, am I right? Our brain has this real negative...
Today I want to talk about negative patterns of thinking , our responsibility and choices. How to change negative thinking, blocks, and limiting beliefs and be a calm and happy parent, how to break bad habits without yelling. It’s about choice, it's something I’ve been digging into this week with my own growth. It blows my mind how many choices we have. The choices that we have, that we have the opportunity to get to make, the choices that we don’t get to make, and sometimes the choices we’re procrastinating on or avoiding.
What are the choices that I’m not taking, where are the opportunities that I have, what are the choices that I’m avoiding, and what’s going on with me underneath that? If you’ve been in my space for a while you’ll know I like to dig into things.
It’s always about the thoughts, and what thoughts do we sometimes not take responsibility for. I know that if...
Have you heard the phrase "If you stand for nothing you'll fall for everything"? Our children are trying to expand and grow, and it's our job to be the container that shows them how to be true to yourself, and how to have healthy boundaries in life.
It's our job as a parent to be clear on what we stand for, and what we will tolerate in life, as a model for our children of how to stand and respond in alignment with our values and have radical response-ability.
It’s time to empower ourselves and our children, and be the change, don't you know?

Our belief systems (which drive our thoughts, which trigger emotions, that drive behaviour) are pretty much fully formed by the time of age seven.
What if we flip the transformation and healing model around and start from birth?
What if we were being hugely intentional in order to create a lens that will create a positive self-image, and make sure that positive self-worth, positive self-belief is already installed?
That's why I work with parents of under-sevens, because this is where we have the most impact.
