Daily Meditation As the sun rises on the first day of summer, our hearts turn toward a season rich with beauty, warmth, and growth—both in nature and in spirit. In today’s prayerful reflection, Lynette Kittle invites us to pause with gratitude and recognize God’s faithful hand in the changing of the seasons. From plowed fields and grazing livestock to sun-drenched days and fresh green growth, summer is more than a change in weather—it’s a spiritual reminder that God keeps His promises, just as surely as He brings the warmth of summer after a long winter. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 3:1 and the promise of enduring seasons in Genesis 8:22, we are reminded that each summer day is a gift and a chance to draw nearer to God, to grow deeper roots in faith, and to praise Him for His steadfast love. ✨ Key Takeaways God is the Author of the Seasons: We can trust in His timing and purposes (Ecclesiastes 3:1, Genesis 8:22). Summer is a Spiritual Gift: A season of abundance, growth, and visible fruit in both nature and our spiritual lives. God’s Faithfulness Never Fails: Just as the sun rises, His mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22–23). We are called to celebrate, worship, and notice God's handiwork in every bloom, breeze, and sunbeam.

Have you ever watched your child's meltdown and felt completely lost on how to help? Those intense outbursts, shutdowns, or explosive reactions can be heartbreaking and exhausting — yet they often get misunderstood as just “bad behavior” or defiance. The truth is, emotional dysregulation runs much deeper, and without the right support, both kids and parents can feel stuck in a frustrating cycle that no one wants.Understanding the signs and causes of emotional dysregulation is the first step. That's why I'm here! In this episode, I'll guide you through what emotional dysregulation looks like, why it happens, and share practical ways to help your child learn to regulate their emotions.If you want extra guidance, both the CALMS Dysregulation Protocol™ and my Quick Calm program offer structured plans to help you apply these strategies in everyday life. Remember, your calm presence is the foundation for your child's emotional regulation. When you learn to regulate yourself first, you hold the key to helping your child find their way back to calm.Not sure where to start? We'll help you find the right solution tailored to your needs.

What if your journey to help your child with ADHD actually begins with healing yourself? Randy Free, founder of Aspire Coaching, offers a refreshing perspective that might just transform your family dynamics.When traditional parenting approaches fail with neurodivergent children, parents often feel trapped in cycles of conflict, meltdowns, and mutual frustration. Randy's personal story of raising two children with ADHD resonates deeply—the hours spent on homework, the struggles within an inflexible education system, and the constant worry about how their story would end. Through this journey, he discovered a profound truth: healing the family system creates space for the child to thrive.The heart of our conversation explores Randy's PEACE framework (Perspective, Ease tension, Attune, Connect, and Empower), offering a structured path toward calmer, more connected parenting. We unpack how children's emotional outbursts aren't manipulative or defiant but distress signals from a brain where logic becomes inaccessible during emotional moments. Randy introduces practical tools like the STOP method for identifying emotional warning signs and creating personalised calming strategies before reaching full meltdown.Perhaps most importantly, we challenge the misconception that gentle parenting means permissiveness. Randy articulates the crucial balance between empathetic connection and maintaining clear boundaries, showing how fewer, more focused expectations actually create space for children to thrive. The conversation takes a beautiful turn as we recognize how neurodivergent children flourish when their education aligns with their passions—like Randy's son who struggled to get out of bed for school but achieved perfect attendance at motorcycle mechanics school.Whether you're in the trenches of daily ADHD challenges or simply seeking to better understand neurodivergent minds, this episode offers compassionate insight alongside practical strategies. Join us to discover how one breath, one conscious choice at a time, you can transform both your parenting approach and your relationship with your wonderfully unique child.Click here for Randy FreeClick here for access to private SEND Parenting WhatsAPP Communitywww.sendparenting.com

There are many different beliefs about why children hit, and based on those beliefs, what the most helpful response to a hitting child is. Old religious paradigms believed that children were innately evil or bad and needed to be shamed and punished into being 'good'. Behaviourism believed that children needed to be taught through punishments, or removal of rewards, to teach children to stop hitting. Cognitive paradigms believed that children need to be taught that hitting hurts, in order to stop hitting. Medical models might believe that there is something wrong with a child physiologically. Some physiological maps believe that a hitting child has an immature nervous system and that they need to be taught to be calmed down. In Aware Parenting, a hitting child is in fight or flight, or hyperarousal. By definition, they don't experience being safe. There are three reasons for this: 1 ~ They aren't safe; 2 ~ The present situation is reminding them of a past trauma that they haven't yet healed from, so when they revisit that, they go into fight or flight. 3 ~ They have accumulated unexpressed painful feelings sitting in their bodies which their system interprets as a sign of not being safe, so they move into hyperarousal. The older models, with their shame, punishment, information, or calming methods, do not address the cause of the hitting, and are likely to either add more painful feelings to a child's system, and thus more fighting, or flight. Or, the child may stop hitting, but that's because they've gone into freeze, or dissociation. All the painful feelings are still sitting in their bodies. They're not feeling truly relaxed and connected to their innate nonviolence; instead, they are bypassing the feelings that are there. With Aware Parenting, our role is to help the child actually know that they are safe now. If we punish, or shame, even with an "it's not okay to hit", that won't lead to safety. If we get harsh, or disconnect, that doesn't help them experience being safe. However, when we move in close in particular ways and offer either loving limits or attachment play, we can support our child to know in their body that they are safe now. When they experience being safe, they no longer need to be in fight or flight, and will stop hitting. Then they can continue the innate physiological process of completion of the stress and trauma process, which includes releasing the feelings through either crying and raging with our loving support (if we've offered a loving limit), or laughter and play with our loving support (if we've offered attachment play). In addition, they are releasing the tension mobilised for fight or flight, which includes vigorous movement - such as the vigorous movement or a tantrum, or of a power-reversal pillow fight. They are also experiencing a sense of successfully completing the process, by being powerful this time, which helps change memories of danger and powerlessness into those of safety and power. This active process is different to the calming down that other approaches advocate for, which tend to lead to dissociation instead of true relaxation and resolution. When a child moves through this whole process, they emerge out the other side, naturally relaxed and nonviolent. We didn't need to shame them, punish them, teach them, or calm them. They innately know how to become truly relaxed. They just needed us to know how to support them to do that, and to not prevent the process from happening!

Hi Parents, Does your teen feel trapped in their own mind - overwhelmed by constant “what if” thoughts or stuck in repetitive behaviors they feel they have to do “just in case”? You're not alone - and neither are they. In this episode, I sit down with Ben Sedley, clinical psychologist, author, and expert in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), to explore how anxiety and OCD show up in teens - and what parents can do to help. With over two decades of experience, Ben has supported teens as they navigate obsessive thinking, anxiety spirals, and the deep shame that often comes with intrusive thoughts. If your teen is struggling and you feel unsure of how to help, this conversation will offer clarity, direction, and hope. We talk about what OCD really is - beyond the common myths of being neat or orderly - and how intrusive thoughts work, why everyone has them, and when they cross the line into OCD. Ben breaks down how compulsions might momentarily ease anxiety, but often trap teens in a deeper cycle of fear and distress. We also explore the subtle ways parents may unintentionally reinforce anxiety and how shifting to more supportive responses can make a meaningful difference. Ben's compassionate, real-world advice reminds us that while we can't take anxiety away, we can help our kids build the tools they need to live fully - even with fear. More About Ben: Ben Sedley is a New Zealand-based clinical psychologist and co-founder of ACT Wellington, where he works with teens, families, and adults using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. He's also the author of several books designed to help kids, teens, and parents better understand and manage anxiety, including:

In this episode, we'll explore why hydration is key during detox and share creative ways to help you and your kids drink more water. Water plays a critical role in detoxification, helping the body flush out toxins, support organ function, and maintain overall health. Whether you're undergoing a cleanse, recovering from illness, or simply trying to rid your body of built-up toxins, proper hydration is essential. But getting enough water isn't just important for adults—children also need to stay hydrated, and sometimes, getting them to drink enough can be a challenge. Remember, we're talking about water, not juice or sugary, chemical laden, food dye filled drinks that pretend to be healthy and are often labeled as ‘sports' drinks, nor are most effectively offering quality electrolytes. Why Hydration is Essential During Detoxification When your body is in detox mode—whether naturally or as part of a structured cleanse—it needs extra water to: Flush Out Toxins Your liver and kidneys are the primary detox organs, filtering out harmful substances from your body. Drinking enough water ensures these organs function properly and that toxins are effectively removed through sweat, urine, and bowel movements. Prevent Dehydration & Fatigue During detox, your body works hard to eliminate waste, which can lead to fluid loss. If you're not drinking enough water, you may feel tired, sluggish, or experience headaches. Proper hydration keeps your energy levels up and reduces the risk of detox-related fatigue. Support Digestion & Bowel Movements Many detox symptoms include bloating, constipation, or digestive discomfort. Water helps move waste through the intestines, preventing toxin buildup and improving digestion. Maintain Electrolyte Balance...
