A message from Julie
Thank you for subscribing to my Monthly Newsletter.
 The purpose of the Newsletter is to educate and empower parents through articles, live online event invitations and developments within the area of childcare and parenting.
The central and repeated theme in all my partnerships is for parents to embrace Responsive, Respectful and Gentle Parenting. I believe that through this approach, children will feel safe, secure, nurtured and grounded in their early years and beyond. I will share what this means and how to achieve this with your little ones.
I’d like to encourage input from parents/carers so we can focus on your needs and questions in this Newsletter. So, get in touch, whether through our Facebook page or upcoming Live chat sessions or through my website. I’d like to hear from you if you have any ideas for courses/webinars I might not have considered. Through the website there is also the opportunity to complete an online Sleep Assessment. Once submitted, I will personally feed back to you, giving you some guidance and suggestions, as well as a way for me to help you further.
Upcoming announcements
I am also excited to share that, as well as my 1-1 Telephone or Home Consultations, I will be bringing out a number of online courses for parents/carers which can be studied at a pace to suit you and with the additional optional offer of a 1-1 30min phone call during, or following, the course for a small additional cost. I am only in the early stages of designing the courses, so watch this space! |
TV is often used as a great way of settling children down while you, the parent, can get on with other tasks without having a little one hang on to you! The TV can become a babysitter for a short while and why not, we all need a bit of a break sometimes. At certain times, though, TV can be more of a problem and this is why.
Each month I will introduce a new Mindfulness activity that you can practice with your child. Mindfulness is a great way of helping children be in tune with how their body feels. By developing this awareness when children are calm, in time they will be able to adopt these exercises with little or no extra guidance when emotions become overwhelming or when they feel out of control. Parents can gently guide children positively, enabling them to problem solve and accept the emotions being felt at that time.
My first course will be my ‘Foundations of Good Sleep’ course. This will be suitable for parents/carers who want to understand how to encourage and achieve good sleep habits with their children and identify barriers which can get in the way of a good night sleep. We will be looking at how often expectations are unrealistic and what is normal for the different ages and individual needs of your child.
