CA Coaching replied to the topic 8yr old driving me daft!!! in the forum National Chat 9 years, 1 month ago
That’s great to hear! It might also be a great time to introduce things like the consequence jar when things are calm. It means the consequences are fair and not a reaction to something happening and your kids will be more open to it as it’s not coming on the back of a situation.
Just an idea! It’s better to introduce these techniques when…[Read more]

CA Coaching replied to the topic 8yr old driving me daft!!! in the forum National Chat 9 years, 1 month ago
Your situation sounds very frustrating! As you said, being busier, things have slipped a bit. You are right to try and nip it in the bud now, before your child gets any older, as the older they get the more difficult it can become to put boundaries in place.
Our job as parents is to provide boundaries for our children for a number of reasons. We…[Read more]

CA Coaching replied to the topic Underage drinking – what can parents do in the forum Parenting Advice & Support 9 years, 1 month ago
This is such a difficult issue for parents, but unfortunately is one that many parents come across at some point in the teenage years. Teenagers are also very good at getting money when they want it.
I would need to know more of the details to put together a comprehensive plan for this family but I would be curious to know has the child drank…[Read more]

CA Coaching replied to the topic We need to talk about porn – did you watch it? in the forum Newborns, Babies, Toddlers, Kids, Teens! 9 years, 3 months ago
This is an area that parents can’t ignore. We need to be talking to our children about pornography. As you say, nearly every young teen will see some form of pornography and its up to us as parents to deal with this in a positive way.
I suppose a simple question to ask ourselves is this, do we want to teach our children about sex and how to be…[Read more]

Anw this is such a brave post and I want to thank you for sharing. The reason I’m thanking you is because you may give another person the strength to reach out and seek help and support.
I’m sorry to hear that it had to get to the stage that it did, but some of us have to fall a bit farther to get the support needed. Your story is inspiring in…[Read more]

CA Coaching replied to the topic No more Ray in the morning in the forum National Chat 9 years, 4 months ago
Big Ray fan also. Apparently when a DJ gives their notice to the station, they are immediately put on "gardening leave" in order to stop them promoting their new station or "poaching" listeners.
It was a shame it’s gone the way it has.

CA Coaching replied to the topic Jamie Oliver punishes daughter with chilli apple slices! in the forum Parenting Advice & Support 9 years, 5 months ago
Personally I wouldn’t do this but then we all have to find what’s going to work for each of our children. The important thing is consistency…if we are not consistent then we are just making a rod for our backs!
Here’s some tips we give to participants on our Positive Parenting Skills Programmes!
Tips For Setting Boundaries

CA Coaching replied to the topic Depression or Exam Blues in the forum Parenting Advice & Support 9 years, 5 months ago
This is a really tough situation and we all deal with stress in different ways. Unfortunately your son seems to reacting by just having a complete shut down. In his own head, literally the best thing to do is not do anything at all, that way he can’t try and fail, yet he can always say "well I didn’t even try and that’s why the results were the…[Read more]

CA Coaching replied to the topic Always worrying in the forum National Chat 9 years, 5 months ago
Hi Munstermolly,
We all worry about our kids and how they are getting on, especially at school, as we can’t actually see how they interact and get on with teachers and other pupils. Some people find that their own experience of school can play a huge part in driving their concerns for their own children. The main thing to remember is that your…[Read more]

Can’t wait for the next one!

CA Coaching replied to the topic Exercise & Nutrition andyour kids! in the forum Parenting Advice & Support 9 years, 5 months ago
We find things like carrot sticks or grapes a popular every now and again, but I wouldn’t worry too much if their lunchbox is pretty healthy and they like it, then let them work away!
I think most (if not all kids and a fair few adults!) would live on biscuits if they could. They’re fine as a treat so we tend not to have them in the house during…[Read more]

CA Coaching replied to the topic Would you let a 12 year old watch Love/Hate? in the forum National Chat 9 years, 5 months ago
Pester power is something that many parents struggle to deal with and can give in "for the quiet life" or so their children "don’t feel left out" but the reality is that physically and emotionally children are not ready to deal with many aspect of the adult world. This is why movies/games/TV shows have age restrictions.
Children’s brains aren’t…[Read more]

CA Coaching replied to the topic social media in the forum National Chat 9 years, 6 months ago
I would not give in. Kids are great at throwing the "everyone is allowed/has one etc" but as you say, it’s not actually true. There is a reason that facebook has a minimum age of 13.
This is an excellent opportunity for you begin the discussions with your child around internet safety. It’s something that many parents feel very concerned about and…[Read more]
