She explores why children aren't “being a problem” but are often “having a problem” — and how understanding this changes everything. Elaine offers practical insights into neurodiversity, emotional behaviour, and how parents can shift from correction to connection.

Elaine Halligan, parenting coach at The Parent Practice and author of ‘My Child's Different' tells us her story of a recent discovery that - like her son - she also has ADHD. She talks openly and inspiringly about her own traits, and how she uses them positively in her life and career. She offers her own advice and expertise for both adults and parents of children who may have ADHD or other neurodiverse conditions.
“Liệu nuôi dạy con theo lối cha mẹ tích cực có tác dụng với những đứa trẻ gặp khó khăn hay không?” Làm cha mẹ tích cực đơn giản là tập trung vào tình yêu thương giữa cha mẹ với con cái, chứ không phải là dùng các biện pháp kiểm soát như là trừng phạt con hay làm con xấu hổ. Bởi thế, theo logic, nó chắc chắn phải “có tác dụng” với bất kỳ ai. Tuy nhiên với những đứa trẻ gặp khó khăn thì cha mẹ thường hay cảm thấy tuyệt vọng. Họ nhận ra con mình “ngoài tầm kiểm soát”, và họ không thể nào tưởng tượng nổi là có một phương pháp giàu tình thương yêu có thể đưa con họ trở lại quỹ đạo.Con Tôi Khác Biệt là câu trả lời cho băn khoăn đó. Câu chuyện thực về hành trình của gia đình Elaine Halligan với đứa con khác biệt - Sam sẽ lôi cuốn người nghe ngay từ những chương đầu tiên. Những chia sẻ lay động trái tim đã mô tả rất nhiều những đau khổ và bối rối trên con đường cả gia đình dần dần khám phá và trưởng thành. Cha mẹ như được đi lại con đường đầy trắc trở khi sống với đứa trẻ khác biệt ấy.--Về Fonos:Fonos là ứng dụng sách nói có bản quyền.

Positive parenting and how to work towards having confident, competent and happy children.
Here in Episode 11, I speak with parenting coach, speaker and author, Elaine Halligan. The episode is in two parts, recorded 12 months apart, in December 2019 and December 2020, with significant changes in between. Elaine explains her early career and how positive parenting methods made such a huge impact in her own family life. The opportunity then arose to become a partner of The Parent Practice, initially running the London office with her business partner on the other side of the world. She shares the impact her book, ‘My Child's Different', has had on the business, and the opportunities it has created, before explaining what changed in 2020 and her exciting plans for 2021 and beyond. Elaine's best advice is to do business with your perfect customer. Enjoy!
This week I have another powerful and wonderful conversation. This time with the talented and amazing Elaine Halligan, London Director of The Parent Practice (links to connect with Elaine and Melissa below). Elaine is author of My Child's Different - I highly recommend it! We talk about raising a neurodiverse child and how as parents we can best support our children and young people. How can we recognise their differences and strengths and foster their individuality so that they can flourish and be their true selves. www.theparentpractice.com https://www.theparentpractice.com/shop/our_books https://www.theparentpractice.com/podcast/ BOOK HERE FOR A PARENT SESSION http://meetme.so/ElaineHalligan Listen to Elaine's Tedx Talk here on ‘Neurodiversity being a super power not a problem
Every single one of us is dealing with a really challenging situation. Even if we stay well we will be impacted. At one end of the scale we may not be able to get toilet paper and at the other end we may have to close a business and lay off loyal staff. We may have to work from home and look after children at the same time. We may have to juggle care of elderly relatives as well. We may be health workers who are exposed to a much higher degree. All of that will bring with it anxieties and disappointments and frustrations, and perhaps feeling not up to the task. If we're going to find creative solutions to our problems we need to first address the feelings. This is what we need to teach our children to do and we have to model it ourselves too. We know that when people try to suppress feelings their emotions are still occupying space in the brain. Research shows that naming the feelings helps it to dissipate. We also know that our brain needs to satisfy basic feelings of safety before it can even move on to higher order emotions, let alone rational thought and our sense of security is threatened at the moment. Listen to this episode if you want to learn: How to help children deal with feelings How to manage our own feelings of disappointment, frustration, anxiety, overwhelm and guilt and lack of agency, starting with acknowledgement of those emotions Why it doesn't work to deny, dismiss, minimise or suppress feelings About the thinking/feeling eggs which are a visual metaphor for how the brain can be taken over by emotions, not leaving much space for rationality, creativity and problem-solving About the role that temperament can play in your child's propensity for anxiety How to use an Extraordinary Family Meeting to air feelings and discuss how to deal with them About stress-busting tools that your family can use Some tips for managing learning at home, including taking a reality check about what's possible in these times of rapid change In this time of difficulty we need to celebrate the surprising uplifting moments (SUMs) we come across so we need to point out to our children things like the improvement in the environment including the return of wildlife to the canals of Venice and the fact that some countries are emerging from this crisis and people are starting to get better. Please let us know what topics you'd like us to cover on this podcast by emailing elaine@theparentpractice.com If this is the right time for you to access positive parenting support do take advantage of our special offer on our Positive Parenting Academy which is available until April 30th.

Everyone in the world right now knows all too well that we are in the grips of an unprecedented pandemic. Covid19 has spread rapidly across the globe and hundreds of thousands have been infected, with several thousand dying. There is massive uncertainty about what this means for us, our families, our work and our communities. Change is taking place almost on an hourly basis and many of us are checking news reports on the hour. The situation may be leaving you feeling really quite anxious and overwhelmed or you might be relatively calm. I hope it's the latter. You might be wondering how to deal with your child's anxieties or how to field their questions without upsetting them. You might also be thinking about the prospect of being cooped up under one roof for a period (we don't know how long) if you're forced to self-isolate for medical reasons or if schools, nurseries and daycare centres close. This week's episode is with Elaine and I, your hosts of this podcast. If you're a regular to our podcast you'll be used to hearing us interviewing our guests separately but today we've come together (online) to discuss the only topic of conversation at the moment –Coronavirus or Covid19. Listen to this episode with Elaine and I if you want to learn: How anxiety affects us all differently and why some of us are more predisposed to worry than others How adult anxiety can be passed on to children About the second chicken theory What we can do to control our own levels of anxiety How to talk to kids about what's going on without exacerbating anxiety How to help children feel they have some control against the virus. Demonstrate how washing your hands protects against the virus. See the pepper and soap video here How books can aid us in our explanations. https://littlecoronaking.com/ Why it is so important not to tell children not to worry or to dismiss their concerns How to encourage children to be understanding and to challenge any racism associated with the virus How to regard it as an opportunity to spend positive time with your children if you are forced into self-isolation or your children's school closes How to set up for success and avoid screen over-dosing while confined at home even if the usual rules no longer apply (Our module Setting up for Success in our courses deals with this) How schedules and planning can help About activities that will save your sanity and bring you all together. Top tip: you don't have to think of everything yourself –get your children to compile a list! How you can encourage your children to help in your community How using Descriptive Praise and Emotion Coaching can help get through periods of frustration Do keep an eye on our Facebook and Instagram and the blog on our website to see how we can help you manage this difficult time.

This week's episode is with Elaine and I, your hosts of this podcast and business partners. I first met Elaine when she was struggling to understand her son's needs and to support him. I was the parenting coach to the Halligan family and am delighted to have witnessed Sam metamorphose from the troubled state he was in at 7 years old to a happy, confident and successful young adult. Elaine and I have enjoyed many years of working together and 10 years as co-directors of The Parent Practice. So we thought it would be nice to wrap up this first season of podcasts by doing something together, despite being on opposite ends of the earth! By the wonders of modern technology we bring you our Christmas special! (Even if you don't celebrate any festival at this time of year I think you will find some useful ideas and tips in here. Listen to this episode with Elaine and I if you want to learn: How to resist pester power in our very consumerist society About getting clear what your values are How the 4 gift rule can put a cap on parental spending at Christmas How to encourage gratitude in children and a culture of appreciation in the family How perfectionism can make festive periods stressful and unreasonable expectations can lead to huge stress and we end up shouting at our children How to deal with critical relatives How to set things up through chat throughs and role plays so that children behave in ways a bit closer to our expectations How important it is for parents to get in training physically and emotionally before times when there are a lot of demands on us How to get your partner on board and share the load fully In our celebration of vulnerability and perfect imperfection I share one of my own Low Parenting Moments and what I learnt about parenting in public as a result. And Elaine also shares her top tip for raising children to be confident, happy and successful.

A few of my favourite moments from the last few Extraordinary Business Book Club episodes, and this time we're thinking about grit, which comes through in different ways through all these conversations. Ayse Birsel on optimism and finding the best answers in the worst places Elaine Halligan, whose own life demonstrates the power of grit in turning tough situations around, on getting the support you need Michael Brown on finding purpose in personal tragedy Ben Hunt-Davis on translating the grit required to win Olympic Gold into everyday gold Sam Conniff Allende on not taking no for an answer Pippa Malmgren on the necessity of asking difficult questions Derek Lewis on the repeated application of grit in the pursuit of good writing Michelle Sales on how to mitigate the grit with what you're great at, and Pete Williams on why the discipline of writing brings such great business benefits.
Elaine Halligan has an extraordinary story. Her journey to becoming one of the world's leading parenting experts began with her own son's difficulties at school and her determination to do whatever it took to allow the amazing potential she saw in him to flourish. But when it came to writing the book so many people had begged her to write, she didn't know where to begin. How do you turn lived experience into a coherent story that will engage and move readers? And how can you make that story meaningful and helpful to them? My Child Is Different tells how the boy written off by so many schools became the successful, grounded, entrepreneurial young man he is today, and what his parents learned in the process. In this podcast, Elaine explains how she began not by writing, but by talking out the story in partnership with Sam, and how deeply the process affected them both.

Join me to celebrate 100 episodes of The Extraordinary Business Book Club! I puzzled over how to mark this milestone for a while, but in the end I decided to keep it real: three business people just like you, carving out the time to write from the demands of the day job, none of them professional writers, all working out how to do this one step at a time. Julie Dennis is a menopause coach - her book The Hot Flush Freedom Challenge was published by Practical Inspiration Publishing in January 2017 Michael Brown is a trainer and consultant, who's just about to deliver to me the manuscript for My Job Isn't Working: 10 proven ways to boost your career mojo for publication in July 2018 Elaine Halligan is a Director of The Parent Practice, whose book My Child is Different, the story of her son Sam - who'd been excluded from three schools by the age of seven, but who went on to become Head Boy at senior school and is today a thriving young entrepreneur - is being published by Crown House in July 2018 Each of them shares what they've discovered on the journey, and their incredibly practical advice for anyone in the same situation. Each one of them inspires me with their passion for their message, and how they can make the world a little better, one reader at a time. I can't think of a better way to celebrate 100 episodes of celebrating extraordinary business books.
Melissa Hood is one half of The Parent Practice - with partner Elaine Halligan she has just been named one of the top parenting gurus in the UK by The Daily Mail. Her book Real Parenting for Real Kids, published by Practical Inspiration Publishing in April 2016, was described by Carl Honoré as 'a blueprint for building families that allow both parents and children to become their best selves. A wonderful book.' But it nearly didn't happen. Melissa had been writing this book for more than six years when she started working with me on The Expert Author programme last year: in this interview we discuss how she overcame all the fears and doubts that had been holding her back, and how she assembled a team to support her through the writing and publication of the book that meant so much to her.
