How to stay mentally healthy when working from home with the kids.
In this video we talk about creating a buffer of time for yourself, an insurance policy if you will. I share my insights on working full time from home and how to stay in alignment with your values and prioritising your own mental and emotional wellbeing as a parent. It is so important to make time for yoga, gratitude, journalling and making sure you can get your work done around the children during lockdown.

Home schooling in a global pandemic
In this video, I talk with JoJo Ebisujuma, Life Hacks Mum, where we talk homeschooling during the lockdown and how to balance life and work with the kids at home. The gold for me is understanding that kids need a period of de-schooling to find their flow and how it will take them time to find their flow.

Solution focussed children
Guiding our children means letting them come up with a solution themselves, so they feel empowered and solution-focussed as they go through life.

Stop deciding everything for your children
Imagine how frustrating it is to have everything decided for you. Your child is a person too, however small. They want to make their own choices sometimes, just as we do.

Stop trying to fix everything for your kids
When your child's having big feelings, they're feeling out of control. What they need most from you in that moment is connection, understanding and empathy.

Get in the boat
If your child's feeling lost at sea, you need to get in the boat.
Kneel down with them and label the emotion, so your child's clear on what's actually happening. Then you can guide them.

The one thing you can do to become a better parent today.
Too many times I see mums giving their all at the expense of themselves. Self love is not a feeling, it's a behaviour and if you don't prioritise your own wellbeing and happiness, then the mothership is going down. You have to put your needs first before you can serve others.
Music is a universal language
Music. The only language that needs no translation. It crosses race, sex, geography and more often than not carries the message of emotions.
It fuels nostalgia, memories and can even conjure up smells. Just one bar of a song and we can be transported in our minds...and we remember ALL the words.
That’s because the brain loves patterns. It loves rhymes and rhythms...and if you put a tune to it, you’re singing it all day right? Sometimes whether you want to or not .
What a wonderful vehicle then to teach our children. From picking up their pants (free workshop in the link) to much deeper and more intentional messages, the language of music goes and stays in, like simply nothing else can to much deeper and more intentional messages, the language of music goes and stays in, like simply nothing else can.
And that's because the brain loves patterns. It loves chinking things up into rhymes and rhythms. But if you add in fun and make it a shared activity...
