Honey You're Ruining Our Kid

• My Kid Is An Angel In School And Handful At Home! Teacher Trouble & Mysterious Diarrhea

  Child behaviourist Tina chats to her husband and adult child Jarlath Regan about three very revealing questions from listeners this week. If you have a question about any behaviour you are currently trying to cope with, drop the show an email. It's totally confidential. [email protected] You are never alone. This week we have three very different questions from three very worn out parents. Question 1- What do you do when your child has uncontrollable diarrhea? - it runs down your leg like a squishy bit of egg- diarrhea! Diarrhea! But it is no joke when you're trying to manage all the accidents? How can you get the school to sympathise and help you cope? If the doctors are telling you that there is no reason for all the soiling accidents is there any way of improving things for you and your child? Question 2- This week a Dad got in touch pleading for help with his 6 year old son. He is an angel at school and a handful at home. They are not coping well with his constant outbursts and demands. He is disrespectful and argumentative with both his parents and they are losing any patience they previously had. Is there any hope? Can they interrupt his pattern of home behaviour. Tina knows where the light at the end of the tunnel can be found. This answer will help all parents. Question 3 If your child hates their teacher what do you do it they are stuck having the same teacher again the following year? Is there any way of mending the relationship? Surely a teacher should never let it get this far but what do you do or what can you do if they have!! Jarlath and Tina play out the scene and how best to handle it.Come see Jarlath's standup live www.jigser.com/gigs for all his tour dates including Australia!

• Terrible Travelling Kids, Tantrums Are Back & Pre Teen Blues

  We are so excited to be back. Thank you to everyone who has been keeping in touch and who have been so supportive of our parenting podcast. The last few weeks have been a whirlwind so it’s lovely to be able to sit down together again and try and help dome parents feel less alone. Question 1- Tantrums and meltdowns are exhausting for the child and the grown up. How can we navigate our kids through them? How can we help them regulate their emotions and learn to manage them? It takes practice. It takes time. Even the worst behaviour can improve. There is always hope. Find the cause of the behaviour and you’ll find the answer to it. Shout out- To the main man Steve Daly who is officially our favourite person in the world. Listen in to find out why! Question 2- With the holiday season approaching how do you tackle the travel with children who have no patience for travelling. Is there a recipe for a successful trip with toddlers? Is it even possible to go a whole flight without a meltdown? What is required from the parent to ensure that the whole family survives the train, plane or automobile. Question 3- Teenagers. We are all afraid of them. Teenage dread is a real panic most parents experience. Will we lose our gorgeous kid to hormones? How much does the responsibility of navigating these teenage years actually fall on our shoulders as parents. The more informed we are of what they are actually experiencing the more we can try to lean into understanding this tumultuous phase of their lives. Thank you for listening in. We are so happy to be back. Send in any questions you have to [email protected]. We will be back in two weeks. www.jigser.com/gigs for tickets to the live Jarlath Regan tour shows.
