Because You’re You!
Monday, May 23rd, 2011Mum: “You are special”
Child: “Why?”
Mum: “Because You’re You!”
How many times have you had this conversation with your child? Other favourite mum/child phrases are:
“I love you just the way you are.”
“Just be yourself and you’ll be fine.”
“Be yourself: you can do this!”
Mums seem to be desperate for their children to celebrate who they are and their special qualities. So why can’t you think this way about yourself? (more…)

Back To School Preparation
Monday, August 23rd, 2010During the summer months, it is the norm to slip into a more relaxed routine with later bedtimes and no set schedule. As the summer holidays draw to a close, it is a good idea to prepare for the onset of the new school term by reintroducing your term-time routine. Here are some great tips to help you get back into the swing of things!
Bring Back Bedtime
A set bedtime doesn’t normally exist during the long school holidays but in order to get used to the school run again, it is a good idea to re-establish a good bedtime routine. A couple of weeks before the end of the holidays re-start your usual bedtime pattern – such as bath, story, bed – at your usual time so your kids can get used to a life during term-time. It is also a good idea to wake the children up earlier so they also find this easier once school starts. (more…)
