In today’s episode, are you ready to dive into the insightful world of "Hold on to Your Kids" by Gordon Newfield and Gabour Maté? As someone who enjoys reading two to three books a month, often opting for audiobooks during daily commutes, I stumbled upon this gem exploring the intricate dynamics of parenting, attachment, and the challenges parents might face when their children turn to peers for guidance instead of seeking it from them.
Have you considered the crucial role of maintaining a healthy attachment with your kids, positioning yourself as the primary influencer in their lives? How does the metaphorical expression "you can't feed somebody who is not at your table" resonate with you regarding the essentiality of a robust parent-child relationship in providing effective guidance?
Do you find yourself intrigued by the potential pitfalls discussed in the book when children seek emotional support, maturity, and guidance from their peers? Are you open to the idea that it's not about peers being negative influences but rather acknowledging their inherent limitations?
If you sense a shift in influence and connection with your child, have you thought about creating a "village of attachment figures" or incorporating daily gestures to reinforce your role as the anchor in their life? Do you resonate with the acknowledgment of fluctuating dynamics in parent-child relationships and the hope provided by proactive steps to strengthen the bond? Without any further ado, let’s dive into this episode.

Hello there, as I sit here on this public holiday in Australia, just on the brink of the New Year, I want to discuss a topic that's close to my heart – the significance of play. Today, with families across the country enjoying a break and kids reveling in the school holidays, there's no better time to explore the importance of play in our lives.
In this episode, we'll be shifting gears from the usual back-to-school preparations to focus on something equally crucial but often overlooked – the sheer joy and benefits that come from play. It's a topic that beautifully dovetails with our recent discussion on self-care for parents, as I believe play is not just a pastime but a powerful tool for connection.
We'll be exploring the various facets of play, touching on how it fosters not only social skills but, more importantly, deep connections. I'll be sharing my thoughts on the benefits of shared enjoyment, the development of communication skills, and how play acts as a natural teacher, shaping cognitive abilities through repetition.

In this upcoming episode, I will acknowledge the incredible job you will be doing by taking a moment for yourself amid the chaos of family life. Whether you'll be listening on Christmas day, like Jens, or any other day, it will be commendable that you'll be prioritising self-care. I have chosen to discuss self-care during the festive season because, as parents, it will be crucial to recognize its importance.
I will delve into various aspects of self-care, starting with recognizing stress triggers. I will emphasise the need for a proactive approach, suggesting that self-care won't just be a response to burnout but a continuous practice to maintain well-being. I will challenge the notion of waiting until your cup is nearly empty, advocating for regular, smaller top-ups to avoid burnout altogether.
I will touch on the importance of realistic expectations, the benefits of routine self-care, and the occasional necessity of "boring self-care" – the everyday habits that often slip through the cracks but contribute significantly to our well-being.
Finally, I will address the common guilt associated with taking time for ourselves, stressing that we will be solely responsible for our well-being. So, let's dive in.

In today's conversation, I aim to delve into the art of fostering social connections during the summer break, prioritizing the cultivation of meaningful relationships over the formal development of social skills or structured opportunities for kids.
Rather than focusing on altering inherent skills, my perspective aligns with neuro affirming practice, embracing and supporting children as they naturally evolve socially. I contend that irrespective of the unique paths of social development, fostering connections remains vital for positive mental health and overall well-being.
The discussion shifts to practical strategies for achieving this goal during the summer, with a particular emphasis on arranging playdates or catch-ups. I underscore the value of smaller group settings during these interactions, highlighting their potential to reduce pressure on both children and parents while providing a conducive environment for skill development and emotional regulation.
Additionally, I explore effective ways to navigate challenges that may arise during social interactions, emphasizing active listening, emotional regulation, and problem-solving as essential tools. The conversation encourages reflection on summer experiences with children, allowing for a deeper understanding of their preferences, connections, and areas for growth, thereby fostering intentional and meaningful social connections in the future.
