Welcome To The La La Tigers blog

If a child is struggling to be present, are they really being difficult at three years old? The moment we label them as difficult, we are judging them. It helps to take a step back and see what's really going on. It may be that they need help with their emotional wellbeing...perhaps, instead of being difficult, they're having a difficult time.

What will you bring to the world...what will your legacy be? It's up to all of us to make a difference as individuals. Our legacies as parents are how we bring up our children.

Parenting. What a journey.

The highs, the lows, the hissing of swear words into the fridge, the random socks EVERYWHERE!  (Always on my kitchen worktop...why?)

If you’d have told me back then what it entailed, or that I would now be doing it completely on my own, I might not have done it at all. But without my personal struggles and the vertical learning curve of bringing up 2 children alone, I would not now be writing the songs that I do, to help parents out and to make kids believe they can. I wouldn’t be showing up to serve the world in a bigger, bolder way. And I wouldn’t be the sparkly and joyous being that I am now.  I wouldn’t be fierce and I wouldn't love my life and my work.

You see it’s only through sheer amounts of pressure that carbon turns coal into diamonds.

Without my experiences, I would probably still be a little lump of coal - but now because of what I have learned, I have transformed my life and now choose to teach other...

Somewhere in the dark, amongst the hurt, the fear and the self doubt...shoved down there with all the stuff you'd rather be ashamed of, the things you'd rather forget, the guilt and the shame...is the key.

To the light. To your freedom. To JOY!  And all you have to do is go inside and get that key.

Then maybe turn it a little. Give it a wiggle. See which way it wants to go.

Turn that fear into LOVE. Remember who you are. Why you are here. What you are capable of. And then maybe you could find your fierce and raise a wholehearted human, because ultimately that's going to start with you.  It's why my work is as much about empowering the parent as it is the child. It's about helping them uncover their limiting beliefs, the negative stories and healing the hurt so that they can become the parent they really want to be, the one they know they can be, underneath all the stuff.

Becoming intentional about raising a wholehearted human begins with our own self care. And I don't mean...

When you forget who you are and become only what others want you to be; a mum, a partner, a role, you lose the connection with yourself. Find what lights you up and brings you joy. Find that stillness and self connection again.

Is your chid using attention seeking behaviour? This means they are literally crying out for your connection, understanding and positive attention. When we bring our judgement, we kill any chance of being able to help them. The goal is secure, confident and resilient children and love for kids is spelt T.I.M.E.

Why I'm so passionate about helping the parent as well as the child, is because what many people don't realise, is that our children swim in our subconscious and emotional worlds, just like fish swim in the sea. They absorb absolutely everything, because this is the imprinting stage, before age 7. Everything is going in. So if the parent is struggling themselves with emotions and meltdowns, or their own triggers, then we have to help them with that first, so that they can best help their child.
