How To Deal With Toddler Tantrums
I have Helena Mooney back on the Mumspire (https://www.annamaria.com.au/mumspire?hsLang=en-au) podcast to talk about toddler tantrums and how aware parenting techniques can help us build a stronger connection with our child and support them in their developmental expression. We discuss tips and ideas on how to act during a tantrum, reasons why they appear and how you can predict them, as well as why children get tantrums and how it’s good for their development. These core steps help us be more empathic with our own needs and feelings when parenting is challenging but it also helps us support our child and leads the way for easier parenting, stronger connections and less tantrums.

Do you know what to do if your child is showing signs of feeling unwell? Do you wonder when you should call emergency?

Getting familiar and confident about risks and emergencies when you start a family will help you to make sound decisions to ensure your family's safety.

In this episode of Mumspire, I'm thrilled to share a heartfelt chat with Charlotte Romanet, a remarkable single mother by choice to three wonderful kids. Charlotte opens up about her inspiring journey of giving birth to her twins naturally and without an epidural—a story that’s as touching as it is powerful. As Charlotte's doula for both of her births, I had the privilege of witnessing her incredible strength and determination firsthand. In this episode, we dive into the highs and lows of her hospital experience and her quest for a physiological birth. Charlotte's candid reflections and the obstacles she overcame offer a genuine look at what it means to advocate for yourself in the birthing process. Don’t miss this insightful conversation! And make sure to tune in to Episode 18, where we speak with Dr. Andrew Bisits, Charlotte’s obstetrician on the day of her twin birth, to get his perspective on this extraordinary journey.

#15 | How Do Men Transition To FATHERHOOD?
A conversation with Tony Tow. The first of a series of speaking with new fathers about their initiation into fatherhood. Statistics show that going from Man to Father is not an easy ride, and while women get the bulk of prenatal, birth and postnatal attention, new fathers are pretty much left on the sideline without much support or guidance. New fathers often return to work quickly after the birth and maintain a ‘normal’ life whilst everything around them has been turned upside down. This series is my intention to offer more awareness enquiry about how men are doing in the early weeks, months and years of fatherhood. In this episode, I speak with Tony Tow from www.Mantribe.com.au - I had the pleasure of supporting Tony and his wife, Jess Osie as their Doula for the two births of their babies. You can record a question for me to answer on my podcast: https://www.speakpipe.com/annamaria Learn more about Tony Tow: https://www.mantribe.com.au/tony Follow me: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/annamaria_boelskov/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/annamarianutritionistherbalistdoula Website - https://www.annamaria.com.au/ Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mumspire/id1236441866
