Sleeping like a baby is a funny saying! Especially when you have slept next to a noisy newborn baby! They can grunt and groan all night long! But the good news is it does stop eventually! ❤️❤️❤️

How many cuddly toys does your little one have?? And how many back ups do you have? Our son had a duck and teddy cuddly, I had some fun finding backs ups of them! The duck was bought originally from a baby market! And Ted they changed the design!! They were great back ups for washing! Now he is 9yrs old and still sleeps with duck! ❤️🐤❤️

How old were you and your child/children when they stopped believing in the Easter Bunny and Santa? Jack now 9 just asked if it was us this year then continued to ask us about Santa! We have always told him that it was his choice to believe in these things because not everyone does, so when we told him he wasn’t too upset, not like myself when my uncle asked me on Christmas Day when I was 10 if I still believed in Santa and when I yes he told me he wasn’t real, I cried and was super upset! Jack is now happy to keep the magic alive for his friends and cousins which is so nice to hear! ❤️🐰❤️ 🎅🏼 ❤️

Happy Easter!!! 🐣 🐰 🐣

Easter fun for all ages! 🐰When Jack was younger we didn’t want to give him chocolate, so for 5 years I made him a slightly healthier option, he loved it and so did we! I then used little duck molds to make the chocolates, this was a hit because his cuddly toy was a duck! We then hid them for him to find in reusable plastic eggs. Over the years we have put all sorts of things in the eggs to hut on Easter morning to reduce the amount of chocolate he was having. 🐣 🐰 ❤️

It is amazing how many people have never heard of what I do for work as a Night Nanny.

I have now been working as a Night Nanny for almost 10yrs.

I love working as a Night Nanny helping families with their babies over night.

If you know anyone who might need my help please pass on my details.

If only baby sleep was as simple as them sleeping from watching us sleep! ❤️❤️❤️

A great way to teach your baby how to be gentle is by showing them how to be gentle with your pets. The more you show your babies how to be gentle in different situations the gentler they will become. ❤️

My latest trick is putting my half drunk cup of tea in the microwave to re heat then forgetting it’s in there and finding it in there cold again after school drop off! 😂🤦🏼‍♀️😂

One of my favorite sayings! You wake the baby you take the baby! Nothing worse than just putting your baby down to sleep and someone slams a door or the dog barks!! If you’re not using white noise in your babies room try it and see if it helps keep your baby asleep when there are loud noises. To learn more about using white noise let me know. ❤️❤️❤️

Child-led play is such a gift! Don't worry so much about directing your child's activities, especially if they're young. Just observe them for awhile and see where their play takes you both. It's totally okay to follow their lead and not have anything planned.❣️

Children are dealing with a world that is far different than anything they’ve ever known. Add to that, the fact that their rocks – parents, teachers, grandparents – are all worried, stressed and just different. Everything is upside down for them. ⠀⠀
You can help by trying to bring some calm into their day. Add a bit more cuddles and relaxed playtime. Do some fun things. Maybe make a big tent in the house, have a sleepover in the family room, game night, make cookies, look at the stars. ⠀⠀
Take a breath Mom and Dad. Try to build some happy family memories into this very odd time.

Connection is as essential to us parents as it is to our children.

19/08/2019

3️⃣ minutes when they wake-up.
3️⃣ minutes when you pick them up from school.
3️⃣ minutes at bedtime.

Our children crave our connection. For them, connection is not JUST about feeling loved, seen, and heard (although those are critically important). It’s about feeling safe. Meeting a basic, primitive need.

Starting the day off with a reconnection helps them feel safe from the start. A brain that feels safe, is a calm brain. A calm brain allows our children to operate in the higher parts of their brain, the green zone, where empathy, problem-solving, attention, and emotional regulation happen.

After a long separation such as a nap, school, daycare, children need that reassurance/reconnection again.
And the three final minutes of the day gives them a final fill of connection.

In our house, I find that conscious reconnection helpful when one of my boys starts “buzzing on the edge” - how I describe the energy before a child falls over "the edge" into an epic tantrum.

If we recognize their “buzz” - whining, aggression, grumpiness, as a cry for help, and stop for quick reconnect, we could, potentially, sidestep a tantrum. Not always, because sometimes we all just need a good cry.

The quality of connection matters so here is a quick checklist:
✅Presence: Fully focus on your child. Notice your child’s expression, laugh, eye gaze, hair. Take time to just breath them in.
✅Eye contact: Gentle eye contact. Not creepy “I’m watching you” style. When we look away, then look back and “catch” someone’s gaze, our brain is flooded with happy, bonding hormones. Think different variations of peek-a-boo.
✅Playfulness: Some kind of silly to get a sweet smile or laugh.
✅Touch: Snuggle, hold hands, kiss, hug, carry.

Would love to hear some of your ideas so we can all learn some new ideas 👇🏼👇🏼
