This episode was originally released in 2022, but friendships are still one of the biggest challenges our girls have to navigate. It can cause so much upset and make life miserable. So, Amy and Jess wrote a book to help their daughters so they never had to struggle with friendships as they did.
They hope the hard lessons they learned help smooth the road for young girls and help them walk with their heads held high, never doubting who they are, or wondering if they are enough. Whilst the book was written for girls, the lessons and techniques are just as usual for boys.
Here are the highlights:
(02:41) How the book came to be
(05:59) The difference between boys and girls
(10:52) Normalising vulnerability with our children
(17:12) Mom has issues too
(23:59) Someone is either with you or against you
(31:45) Standing on the outside of the circle
(37:15) Friendship shouldnβt be earned
(42:03) Be humble

Today's bucket emptying episode is for your children and I'm setting you a challenge and mindset shift to help your children take those plunges and not see mistakes or failures as catastrophic.
The challenge is to start reframing mistakes and failure a full stop, and instead to start seeing it as a comma. Let me explain what that I mean.

In today's Bucket Emptying episode, I want to show you a really great bucket emptying tool and strategy for your children that is the glitter jar.
Now, obviously a glitter jar is rather lovely and beautiful and very aesthetic in your home, but it's also a superb way of explaining emotions to children and teens, whether that's big emotions around anger, frustration, annoyance, jealousy, or whether it is around overwhelm, stress and anxiety.
I'd love to see your glitter jars, share your photos to [email protected], and please share this episode with your friends, family and colleagues that need some extra support.

In this week's episode of the Bucket Emptying podcast I tackle a very topical listener question: βShould we ban smart phones??β
Whilst I have very strong opinions regarding childrenβs use of smartphones, the internet, and social media, I donβt believe that banning them is the solution. Instead, letβs teach our children how to use them safely, which starts with modelling moderation of use of ourselves!
Iβd love to know your thoughts on this topic. Do you know how much screen time you have each week?
