What if neurotypical doesn’t exist?
For quite some time now I have been pondering the neurological make-up of our brains.
Increasingly I find myself feeling frustrated at our insistence to define things according to what is normal.
The Jane and Bea Show: Episode 6
I love co-hosting with Jane Evans and hope you enjoy our podcast as much as we love recording it. It continues to be the place in which we get to talk about everything and anything that relates to the work she and I do.
In this episode, we explore the topic of sleep - babies, bedtimes and beyond.
But first, we get you in the mood with talk of one-night stands, warm welcomes, and fabulous words (and my over-use of them).
Authoritarian parenting
This evening as I was doing the washing up, I found myself thinking about power and control.
So many parents think that to have authority you need to be authoritarian. The truth is that authority does not come from having power over someone. It comes from understanding your power in relation to someone else and standing in it with integrity.

Control
Letting go of control is one of the hardest things I’ve had to do in my journey to Yes Parenting.
Raising a human is an epic role and carries significant responsibility. It’s understandable we want to do everything in our power to get it right.

The concept of deserving
Ever been told you do deserve or you don’t deserve something based on your behaviour?
It’s such a crappy feeling isn’t it?
The Jane and Bea Show: Episode 3
In this episode, Jane Evans and I explore what the use of isolation does to children’s mental health and how to build trusting child-adult relationships.

Be the change you want to see in your children
Be the change you want to see in your children.
This is a foundational principle of Yes Parenting. Inspired by the famous Mahatma Gandhi quote (which apparently isn’t what he actually said anyway!)
