The 5 mistakes Big People make with their toddlers.
1. They haven’t taught their little people to sleep unassisted. So this guy comes in at the top of the list because sleep deprivation is TORTURE. It’s also the root cause of many other issues. Most of the clients I see are having trouble with some aspect of sleeping. Their Little People may be catnapping, waking[…]
The life-changing four steps to end bedtime battles.
Step one: Follow routine leading up to bedtime. This should start from dinner time and look something like: 5:00-5:30 Dinner 5:30-6:15 Quiet play 6:00-6:30 Bathtime 6:30-6:45 Teeth toilet and last call for anything they need. 6:45-7:00 Into bed for books, cuddles and kisses. 7:00 – Lights out and begin this process! Step two: Give the children[…]
The three things every parent must be doing to be in control without dominating.
Control. How to have it (and get it back). Toddlers like to have the reins as often as possible. Their growing independence and ‘can do attitude’ is exciting to watch and often leaves adults pleasantly surprised and puffed with pride. Sometimes however, the little ninjas seem to have one over on us and before we[…]

To dummy or not to dummy?
That is the question! Many new parents ask me what I think of Dummies. They ask with this hopeful (and simultaneously guilty) look in their eye. Any person who has had an extremely distressed child screaming in their arms, car or just within earshot, who magically stops as soon as the plug is inserted knows[…]
Thanks Eli!
“Claire’s breadth of experience and love of children are evident in her ability to approach each family on their terms rather than in simply following a formula or method that supposedly deals with all. She came into our home, listened to and understood us all within a short time, and with her practical attitude and[…]
Why do children misbehave?
“Why do my kids seem to muck up all the time?” “It feels like they are really trying to annoy me!” When my clients say things like this, I always think of the cycle of misbehaviour. Children are true experimenters. Everything is new to them and they spend every waking minute doing experiments to learn[…]
Emma’s Parenting Pearls.
Never let your (very) little monster be awake for more than two hours. Up until the age of about 18 months, little people don’t cope being awake for more than two hours. An overtired little person is not a happy little person. So if they are up at seven, be ready to head back[…]
“My child flies off the handle and I just can’t control him.”
Tips for angry outbursts. While we can teeter around our little monsters to a degree, sometimes they absolutely lose it and rage. I have seen some terrifying eruptions from little people. Throwing things, hurting others and scaring the people in the vicinity. Anger is a really big emotion to feel. It can be quite overwhelming[…]
Just when you think…
Just when you think you’re having an “I am really nailing this parenting thing” kind of day, your little monster throws an award worthy tantrum at the supermarket checkout. Just when think you have your child settling well and sleeping through, daylight savings starts. Just when you think you have finally won the dummy battle,[…]
