Ever had a CPM (Cr*p Parenting Moment)? If so - do this
Ever done something you KNOW not to do. And yet you can't help yourself?!
You know not to shout, and yet you still do.
You know your child wants your attention, and yet you just can't give it.
These are not signs that you're a bad parent.
Instead, they're indications that you need something. And it's not more information or What To Do videos.
Listen in to what you really need instead.

Building Physical and Emotional Resilience
If you ever panic when your child is upset because they've hurt themselves and you don't know how to help them overcome anxiety as a result of their injury, then this episode is going to help.
I recently dislocated my shoulder (again) and what I did in one hour the following week transformed my recovery.
Even though this was a more painful and traumatic event than when I dislocated it 3 years before, I now feel much more confident physically and emotionally.
Listen in to discover what it was and how you can transform your child's painful experiences so that they are less likely to carry any fear or anxiety from it.
