Raising Kids with Love and Boundaries

In this episode, we explore why parenting stress builds up in our nervous system and three simple ways to reduce it without adding more to our to-do list:
the safety bubble, using touch and breath to calm the body
sensory safety rituals that help us feel grounded and safe
effortless rest, allowing the nervous system to fully down-regulate
We also discuss how supporting our own nervous system helps our children regulate their emotions, making it easier to stay calm, hold boundaries, and respond rather than react.

When your kid tunes you out - The Realities of Parenthood: Insights from a Parenting Coach and a Working Mum
Does it feel like your child only hears you when they want to? You ask them to put on their shoes, tidy their toys, or come to the table — and they tune you out as if you’re invisible. In this episode, working mum Miranda puts Camilla in the hot seat to ask the tough questions parents everywhere are struggling with.
Camilla explains why kids don’t always listen, why punishment doesn’t actually teach better behaviour, and she shares three simple strategies you can start using right away to get more cooperation without shouting, threats, or guilt. She also tackles that painful moment every parent dreads: “I don’t want you to go to work, mummy.”
