They use appropriate media and interventions to enable the child to communicate their inner worlds.

🫠It’s A lot! They are soooo cute but just soooo strong willed and unpredictable!! Im in the thick of the toddler stage myself, so I really cannot wait for this one! I’ve been gathering up all of my top tips for ages now for you all. And Debbie had Irish twins so she is the toddler master! 😍
❤️One of the most important things as parents is to understand development so yo can parent from a place of confidence and understanding- we are going to make that v clear for you! You’ll know what’s driving behaviour! And soo much more to keep you regulated and responding rather than reacting too.

♥️Are you in?
♥️Comment FIRM now for the link to join us for the 5 Day FIRM Boundaries Challenge back by popular demand 🎉
♥️Clear and predictable boundaries are really vital for your children to feel safe and regulated and when you get them right you will see your confidence soar and their cooperation with it 👏
🎉We cannot wait to get started!
😅 Telling them not to shout while shouting!? Ask them be patient and then get impatient with them!? There are endless ways that we contradict or expect more from our children than we can manage ourselves tbh 🫣
♥️In The FIRM Hub we use modeling as a parenting tool. It doesn’t mean that you need to be perfect at all! It is about being aware of what you are doing and saying and modeling the behaviour and words you would like to see and hear!
