Hi Friends,I'm on here today, unfortunately, to inform you of Papa Rick's passing.  Today is Feb 29th – leap day – 2024. Papa Rick passed away on Feb 1st, just after midnight from a massive heart attack.  He was at home with his partner, Judy, and neither she nor paramedics could successfully resuscitate him.  Over the past 4 weeks, my two brothers and I, along with the help of our family and friends, have been sorting through our father's life, taking care of things legally and financially, and we planned and held his memorial services.  Since returning home from all of this, I've been in a deep state of grief and just taking things day by day.  As you can see, the podcast was put on pause.  I knew I wanted to continue this project for all the reasons we started it in the first place. I just wasn't sure how to move forward and keep all the parts we both loved about it going.  I knew I needed some time.  I knew I needed to pivot.  And I knew I needed to find a way to honor my dad before I could keep moving forward without him.  I honestly don't know if I would have even had the courage to get started if it weren't for him agreeing to be my cohost. Part of the services we held for him included a request for donations to the podcast in lieu of flowers.  At first, I felt very unsettled about this, but our pastor and my brothers felt strongly that it's what dad would have wanted. After some time, I came to feel very honored that every person I met from his life and his church told me how he was always talking about the podcast and how proud he was of me and of this project we were doing together.  So, if you are feeling pulled to honor Papa Rick in any way, I will post the donation link below. Rest assured, these funds are going directly into the business account and being used to fund the costs of producing the podcast. And we are so grateful for any and all support you have to offer.Last, but certainly not least, we will be getting back to production in the next week or two.  Our first episode back will be an episode with myself and my two brothers, honoring my dad's influence and legacy on us, as well as the parenting world and beyond.  We will share more about his life, his passing, and his parenting philosophies too. Keep an eye out for the release of that episode – click subscribe to receive reminders – and tune in with us.  After that episode, I will resume the podcast with our guest experts and a few new surprises on the way. Stay Tuned, Thank You for being here, Happy Parenting and Good Luck Out There.To Donate in Honor of Papa Rick: https://everloved.com/life-of/richard-p-hayes/donate Thanks to our monthly supporters Rick Hayes

Mrs Mary Gauci, president and Mr Anthony Cauchi, founder and public relations officer, of Happy Parenting – Malta who are currently in Australia speak with Joe Axiaq about how their voluntary organisation supports parents and children to improve family well-being through prevention, support and therapy - Is-Sinjura Mary Gauci, president u s-Sur Anthony Cauchi, fundatur ta' Happy Parenting – Malta, li bħalissa jinsabu l-Awstralja, jitkellmu ma' Joe Axiaq dwar din l-organizzazzjoni volontarja li għandha l-għan li tapoġġja l-ġenituri u t-tfal biex itejbu l-ħajja u l-kuntentizza tagħhom permezz tas-sapport, terapija u prevenzjoni li tipprovdi din l-organizzazzjoni.

HỌC CÁCH CHẤP NHẬN ĐỨA TRẺ CHÚNG TA ĐƯỢC BAN CHO: 9 đặc điểm ở trẻ mà người lớn không quyết định được Bạn đã nghe đến cụm từ  “tính khí” (temperaments) bao giờ chưa?Tính khí là lí do giải thích cho việc: vì sao cùng cha mẹ mà anh chị em ruột thịt lại có thể khác nhau rất nhiều, vì sao con nhà mình lại khó / dễ khác con nhà người ta, và vì sao bố mẹ lại cảm nhận con cái mình sinh ra có đứa thì “hợp tính”, còn đứa khi thì lại “khắc khẩu”.Tính khí là đặc điểm trẻ đã có sẵn trong người ngay khi sinh ra. Tính khí tạo nên cách một người cư xử, cách học hỏi và cách họ tương tác với mọi người và môi trường xung quanh. 9 đặc điểm tạo nên tính khí của trẻ là gì?1. Cường độ hoạt động - Activity Level: 2. Sự điều độ, nhịp nhàng - Rhythmicity 3. Phản xạ bản năng - Initial Response 4. Khả năng thích nghi - Adaptability 5. Độ mẫn cảm với kích thích - Sensory Threshold 6. Chất lượng của tâm trạng - Quality of Mood 7. Cường độ phản ứng- Intensity of Reactions 8. Phân tán tư tưởng - Distractabiliy 9. Sự bền bỉ và độ tập trung chú ý - Persistence & Attention Span Có tồn tại “đứa trẻ hoàn hảo” không?Con trẻ và cha mẹ là những cá thể riêng biệt với những đặc điểm tính khí đặc trưng riêng biệt. Và chắc chắn không có đứa trẻ hoàn hảo, mà sẽ chỉ có SỰ KẾT HỢP hoàn hảo hay “xung khắc” giữa tính khí của cha mẹ và con cái trong gia đình. —> Tìm ra được điểm cân bằng giữa mong đợi của bố mẹ và khả năng đáp ứng của con là vô cùng quan trọng để bố mẹ có thể đảm bảo tinh thần Làm cha mẹ Tích cực.Khi chúng ta hiểu rõ tính khí của con, chúng ta sẽ có thể CHẤP NHẬN bản chất của con, ở bên cạnh cùng con, giúp con học hỏi, vươn lên và phát triển. Cha mẹ có thể không thay đổi hoàn toàn được các đặc điểm tính khí của con, nhưng chúng ta có thể đồng hành ở bên cạnh để giúp con trau dồi các thế mạnh và điểm tốt của con, từ đó, các điểm yếu sẽ tự động giảm bớt.  Và quan trọng nhất, việc con lớn lên có biết cách cư xử văn minh lịch sự (manners), trở thành người tử tế, tự tin, tự lập và có lòng tự trọng hay không, thì không phụ thuộc vào tính khí, mà phụ thuộc hoàn toàn vào cách nuôi dạy của cha mẹ và môi trường lớn lên.Support the show- - - - - Tu-Anh Nguyen (M.A. Psych)Ncs Tiến sĩ Tâm lý NhiParent-Child CounselorParent Educator from Happy Parenting➫ Facebook: https://facebook.com/tuanh.psych➫ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/happyparenting.vn ➫ Website: https://happyparenting.vn ➫ Email: happyparenting.vn@gmail.com ____________________©️ Bản quyền thuộc về Happy Parenting with Tu-Anh Nguyen©️ Copyrights Happy Parenting with Tu-Anh Nguyen ➫ Do not re-up#happyparenting #parentcoachtuanhnguyen #daycontichcuc #chamevuive #contrehanhphuc #happyparentingwithtuanhnguyen #happyparentingvn #lamchametichcuc #daycondungcach #tamlytre em #tamlynhi #tuanhnguyen

 “Hãy hướng dẫn cách làm sao dạy cho con tôi (vài tháng tuổi) chơi tự lập?”Sau đây là 4 bước hướng dẫn phụ huynh dạy cho một em bé cách chơi tự lập:1. Ba mẹ biết thiết lập mong đợi thực tế (realistic expectations)2. Hiểu về mốc phát triển của con3. Hiểu tính khí bẩm sinh sẵn có của con4. Khi nào con thấy an toàn và yên tâm con khắc tự chơi :) TRẺ NHỎ KHÔNG CẦN ĐỒ CHƠI NHIỀU, MÀ CẦN NGƯỜI CHƠI CÙNG Trung bình, đến khoảng 6 tháng, một em bé dễ dãi nhất có thể tự mua vui cho bản thân trong khoảng 5 phút (bé nhỏ hơn thì thời gian càng ngắn hơn, ba mẹ nhé) Một em bé có tính khí ôn hoà thì thường sẽ dễ tự mua vui cho bản thân, dễ xoa dịu hơn một em bé bẩm sinh có tính khí nhạy cảm, dễ bị kích thích, hay cảm thấy bất an. Trước khi con có thể vô trạng thái chillax (chilling và relax), con cần cảm thấy an tâm và an toàn 100% với môi trường con đang sống và việc tương tác với ông bà, cha mẹ, bà vú, giúp việc xung quanh...  Cảm giác an âm và an toàn ở trẻ nhỏ được củng cố khi người chăm sóc cung cấp cho con các phản hồi nhất quán. Tức là, nếu qua thời gian, con luôn cảm nhận được rằng: chắc chắn có một ai đó sẵn sàng trả lời khi con lên tiếng, hiểu rõ nhu cầu kết nối và đáp ứng cho con, thì con sẽ dần relax và dễ chịu hơn.  Nghe thì ngược ngạo, nhưng sự thật là một em bé nếu càng hay quấy khóc mà càng được dỗ dành, trấn an bằng phản hồi tích cực và đồng nhất, càng về sau con càng calm và ôn hoà hơn. Còn nếu càng quấy khóc càng bị mặc kệ trong thời gian lâu dài, hoặc nhận được phản hồi không nhất quán (lúc này lúc khác theo hai thái cực cực đoan), con càng lớn sẽ càng bất an và càng quấy. Trẻ lớn dần sẽ càng ngày càng phát triển nhận thức và càng muốn được kết nối và tương tác với ngừoi khác nhiều hơn. Các kết nối thần kinh và sự học hỏi của con được thiết lập qua việc tương tác 2 chiều với người đối diện. Chưa kể, nếu con đang trong giai đoạn wonder weeks, đang học hỏi kỹ năng mới thì lại càng khó chịu và đeo bám nhiều hơn. Vậy phải làm sao, làm sao, làm sao đây? Con mình cũng có những giai đoạn quấy đòi bế nhiều, đến mức mình địu bé theo vòng vòng trong nhà. Kiên nhẫn giải thích - khuyến khích - làm mẫu cho người cùng chăm sóc bé. Hậm hực không giải quyết được gì. Bản thân phụ huynh cũng bớt căng thẳng vì áp lực “tập cho con chơi một mình”: nếu ba mẹ thoải mái, con sẽ cảm nhận dc năng lượng tích cực đó và dần thoải mái hơn.  Tạo một môi trường chơi an toàn, có các kích thích giác quan (nhìn nghe sờ chạm..) phù hợp với kỹ năng và độ tuổi của con. Không cần phải có cả núi đồ chơi, hãy cất bớt đi 1/2, bày ra 1/2 thôi, con chơi chán thì cất mớ đó đi rồi lấy cái trong tủ ra. Đổi xoay vòng như vậy thì con sẽ cảm thấy lúc nào cũng có đồ chơi mới. Ngoài ra, phụ huynh hãy lưu tâm về việc phát triển tương tác ở trẻ nhỏ: Bé càng lớn, giai đoạn 18-24 tháng càng muốn tương tác nhiều với mọi người hơn.Support the show- - - - - Tu-Anh Nguyen (M.A. Psych)Ncs Tiến sĩ Tâm lý NhiParent-Child CounselorParent Educator from Happy Parenting➫ Facebook: https://facebook.com/tuanh.psych➫ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/happyparenting.vn ➫ Website: https://happyparenting.vn ➫ Email: happyparenting.vn@gmail.com ____________________©️ Bản quyền thuộc về Happy Parenting with Tu-Anh Nguyen©️ Copyrights Happy Parenting with Tu-Anh Nguyen ➫ Do not re-up#happyparenting #parentcoachtuanhnguyen #daycontichcuc #chamevuive #contrehanhphuc #happyparentingwithtuanhnguyen #happyparentingvn #lamchametichcuc #daycondungcach #tamlytre em #tamlynhi #tuanhnguyen

CÁC THÁCH THỨC KHI CHÚNG TA LÀM CHA MẸ CỦA THẾ HỆ ALPHA (2010-2024) Cuộc sống tương lai của thế hệ Alpha là một ẩn số vừa thú vị, vừa gây ra nhiều hoang mang cho chúng ta – phụ huynh Gen Y - những người đang gánh trên vai trọng trách nuôi dạy một thế hệ tinh nhuệ và “công nghệ” nhất mọi thời đại. Vậy, những thách thức nào đang được đặt ra cho thế hệ Millennials (Generation Y) – cha mẹ của Thế hệ Alpha?1. Kiến thức & thông tin: Những cách học mới lần đầu xuất hiện.Thách thức đầu tiên của các cha mẹ chính là: “Phải luôn tự mình cập nhật với công nghệ và kiến thức, tự học trước mắt là cho bản thân, và tìm ra những phương pháp thức thời để hỗ trợ con học tập hiệu quả”. 2. Bảo mật thời công nghệ: làm sao để cân bằng giữa kiểm soát và tự do?Có thể nói, thách thức thứ hai cho các bậc cha mẹ của thế hệ Alpha là: “Làm sao để có thể cân bằng giữa an toàn mạng và bảo vệ sự riêng tư của con trẻ, cũng như của gia đình mình?3. Sức khỏe tâm lý – tinh thần: các rối loạn ngày càng xuất hiện nhiều và sớm hơn.Thách thức thứ ba của các bậc cha mẹ đó chính là làm sao có thể đồng hành và hỗ trợ con phát triển sức khỏe tâm lý khỏe mạnh nhất? Hệ thống y tế nước ta khi nào mới có thể hỗ trợ can thiệp sớm cho trẻ đặc biệt trên phạm vi toàn cộng đồng, và xa hơn là được miễn phí?4. Cảm xúc – Xã hội: Làm sao để dạy và giúp con duy trì những kỹ-năng-con-người?Có thể nói, chúng ta ngày càng dễ dàng kết nối với nhau hơn (trên MXH), nhưng cũng đồng nghĩa với việc các thiết bị điện tử và MXH đang góp phần giúp chúng ta ngắt kết nối (với thực tại và với các mối quan hệ offline) nhanh hơn.Trong bản báo cáo chuyên ngành giáo dục vào năm 2016 mang tên “New Vision for Education” (Tầm nhìn mới cho Giáo dục), Diễn đàn Kinh tế Thế giới (The World Economic Forum) đã vô cùng nhấn mạnh vào việc cần phải dạy cho trẻ kỹ năng Cảm xúc – Xã hội (SEL - social and emotional learning). Bản báo cáo này đã liệt kê ra 16 kỹ năng trọng yếu, phân ra thành 3 nhóm kỹ năng chính, mà trẻ cần học để có thể học hỏi và thành công trong thế kỷ 21: - Học vấn nền tảng (những kỹ năng cốt lõi để vận hành cuộc sống): Đọc – Viết, Toán học, Khoa học, Công nghệ & Thông tin, Tài chính, Văn hóa & Công dân - Năng lực cá nhân (những kỹ năng để xử lý các thử thách không mong đợi): Tư duy phản biện – Giải quyết vấn đề, Sự sáng tạo, Giao tiếp, Hợp tác - Phẩm chất tính cách (để thích ứng với những thay đổi vần vũ của thế giới): Tính hiếu kỳ, Tính tiên phong, Sự bền bỉ - Kiên trì, Khả năng thích ứng, Khả năng lãnh đạo, Nhận thức về Văn hóa – Xã hội.Có thể nói rằng, thách thức lớn nhất khi làm cha mẹ của thế hệ Alpha, đó là chúng ta vừa phải liên tục trau dồi bản thân, tìm hiểu những kiến thức mới, và không ngừng “upgrade” theo công nghệ và kỹ thuật số, để có thể vững vàng trong vị trí đầu tàu định hướng đúng đắn cho những đứa trẻ tinh nhuệ sinh ra trong giai đoạn 2010-2024 này.Support the show- - - - - Tu-Anh Nguyen (M.A. Psych)Ncs Tiến sĩ Tâm lý NhiParent-Child CounselorParent Educator from Happy Parenting➫ Facebook: https://facebook.com/tuanh.psych➫ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/happyparenting.vn ➫ Website: https://happyparenting.vn ➫ Email: happyparenting.vn@gmail.com ____________________©️ Bản quyền thuộc về Happy Parenting with Tu-Anh Nguyen©️ Copyrights Happy Parenting with Tu-Anh Nguyen ➫ Do not re-up#happyparenting #parentcoachtuanhnguyen #daycontichcuc #chamevuive #contrehanhphuc #happyparentingwithtuanhnguyen #happyparentingvn #lamchametichcuc #daycondungcach #tamlytre em #tamlynhi #tuanhnguyen

  Whoever said patience is a virtue never had kids. Keeping our cool while your little one is having a full meltdown in the middle of the aisle at the grocery store, isn't the time to be virtuous. Sometimes, the best way to combat that spicy child of yours is to not react to the screaming and crying by being the example of calm and peace that your child can rely on to guide them through the latest emotional outburst.

Y'all, the facial expressions in this one are priceless - if you aren't already, go watch this episode on YouTube lol! I swear it's worth it.  Praising your kids is GOOD, right?  It's positive reinforcement, it's connection, it's showing your kids you're proud of them and you get to celebrate together!  Yes.  And no. Not all praise is created equal when it comes to parenting.  There is praise that builds outer-reward/response systems that turn our kids into people pleasers. And there is praise that builds a child's INNER reward system which results in self-confidence, self-trust, worthiness and resilience to failure. Consciously praising our kids in a way that puts the choice, desire and power back in THEIR hands is KEY.  Listen up to learn more and see how these SUPER SIMPLE shifts can benefit all of the relationships in your life.Happy Parenting and Good Luck Out There!Episode Resources: The High 5 Study: "Ambiguous praise, similar to verbal effort praise, produced higher persistence and self-evaluations, and fewer fixations on error after failure compared to verbal trait praise. Interestingly, gestures produced the highest self-evaluations. Thus, praise without explicit attributions motivated as well or better than praise explicitly focused on effort, which may suggest that children interpret ambiguous praise in the most beneficial manner." - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4145712/Effort vs. Outcome Praise: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6176062/Watch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@therelationalparentingpodcast/videosEmail us your parenting questions and stories!: jennie@jenniebee.co.Help us do what we do with a small monthly contribution: https://www.patreon.com/TheRelationalParentCoach/membershipJoin the WAITLIST for The Relational Parenting Village! - A New Monthly Membership Program where parents gather for community, growth, accountability and support.  PLUS ongoing monthly live events, classes and education resources to keep you motivated and growing on your parenting journey.  Let's do this!!Find me or book a free consult:Website: https://www.jenniebee.co/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therelationalparentingpodcast/Facebook https://www.facebook.com/jennifer.hayes.507TikTok: @therelationalparentcoach.Sign up for the weekly newsletter here for a weekly parenting tip!Please leave us a review!  Your feedback helps others find us, and helps us grow so we can keep creating content for parents to benefit from.Creators & Guests Natalie Long - Editor Rick Hayes - Host Jennifer Hayes - Host Thanks to our monthly supporters Rick Hayes Happy Parenting and Good Luck Out There!

We all have needs, but trying to figure out what our tiny humans need at any given time can be one of the most frustrating things about being a parent. We get it!

But, there's a path to making sure that your little gets what they NEED in that moment but also so you get what YOU need in that moment too. This week on the podcast, Charisse gives you the tools to be able to address their needs as well as yours using Non-Violent Communication or NVC.

  When we say parenthood is a hard and thankless job with no raises in sight, we know you feel us. But nobody actually thinks of being a parent as an actual J-O-B. What if you did and you are the CEO of your very own small company? Let that sink in. What if you outsourced the work and,  instead of dragging yourself through "paperwork,” (aka doing the dishes, taking out the trash, and the bane of any parent's job, doing laundry) you just decided to delegate that task to someone else? This week, Charisse talks about how the job of parenthood can work for you if you change your perspective on how to take on the most important job in the world.

We, as parents, always want to make sure our littles get the best care possible. That's why when dinnertime comes around, what you put on the plate is made with the best nutrition possible to help them grow. Easy, right??? Nope! When your child takes that plate, the plate you put together with love, and tosses it across the room, you quickly realize it's a chicken nugget night and it's not worth the battle tonight. Dealing with picky eaters can be one of the most frustrating pieces of parenting, we get it. This week, Charisse gives you some tips on how to turn your picky eater from a pitcher into a little in the clean plate club. Happy Parenting!We love answering your questions here!

In this episode of the No Guilt Mom podcast, host JoAnn Crohn welcomes Anne, a Balance VIP member, to share her inspiring journey from yelling to letting things go as a mom. Anne discusses how her upbringing in a yelling household shaped her parenting style, leading her to believe that yelling was an effective way to get results. However, she always felt guilty and realized she wanted to change. Anne shares how the COVID-19 pandemic and spending more time with her family prompted her to question the kind of mom she wanted to be. She embarked on a journey of self-improvement and discovered various parenting resources, including the No Guilt Mom podcast and the Balance VIP and Calm & Happy Parenting program. With newfound tools and support, Anne decided to communicate openly with her kids about her goal to stop yelling and asked for their understanding and cooperation. The episode explores the challenges she faced, her daughter's response to the change in approach, and how Anne's husband also noticed the positive transformation. Anne emphasizes the importance of finding a supportive community and shares her gratitude for the Balance VIP program. Listeners are encouraged to embrace change and seek support in their parenting journey.Are you so thankful for your kids and need help figuring out how to control yourself better?
