Trusting Children Podcast
What people are saying
Welcome!
I am so glad you have decided to embark on this journey to becoming a respectful parent. Whether you are expecting, have a newborn or toddler, tween, teen or young adult it is always a great time to learn.
Parents have so many things to think about. We want the best for our children and we work really hard for it. There is such an overload of information on all the things we have to remember and do. I have definitely felt this overwhelm of listening to all the voices, wanting to do all the things and as a result getting lost and feeling like a failure.
This is why I created this podcast. My aim is to not inundate already exhausted parents with tonnes of extra things to remember and do. What I want is to provide a really easy going, step by step guide that will ultimately result in you having a calmer relationship with your child. I know that your time is precious. You don’t have to read all the books, you don’t have to spend hours learning and practicing new things. This podcast will give you one bite-size aspect to focus on each week which you can slowly start introducing into your home. Over time, these skills will turn into habits, and eventually become a natural part of who you are. Are you ready to dive in?

16 – Potty Learning the Montessori Way
THE SECRET to making potty learning an enjoyable experience for both you and your child.
All children go through potty learning and it’s something every single parent has to face at some point.
It can sometimes be a struggle and cause a lot of stress but the secret is it doesn’t have to be that way! It can be a wonderful journey that you and your child share (with a few clean ups here and there )
In this interview I speak with Neus Carmona , who has helped hundreds of parents love potty learning as much as she does!
We approach this topic from a child centred, Montessori point of view, focusing on the child and following their pace rather than forcing them to adhere to rules and schedules imposed by us.
15 – Gentle Discipline – How the power of connection can transform the way you discipline your child
Discipline doesn’t have to be a conflict! You want your child to listen, you want your child to be caring and kind to others, you want your child to look after their belongings, you want them to be a good human…AND you also want to be a gentle & respectful parent.
You might hear people criticising gentle discipline, you might feel like you’re being judged if you’re not giving your child any punishments or consequences, you might worry that they will never learn the things you want them to…
Explore with me what gentle discipline is all about in this episode. I promise by the end of it, you will feel SO much more confident about using gentle discipline and empowered to reflect any judgemental comments, because YOU are building a secure relationship with your child.
