Many parents will remember the 'terrible twos' - when your toddler turns into a tiny tyrant whose favourite word is 'no!'. But what happens when they're a little bit older, but still tending toward being stubborn? What's under-lying the behaviour coming from a strong-willed child? And how can parents adjust their expectations and reactions cope with it? Jenny Hale is one of Parenting Place's Senior Parent Coaches. She's also the author of the book Kind, Firm, Calm: Simple Strategies to Transform Your Parenting.

Welcome to part two of our new series of conversations with women and men who are seeking to follow Christ in the whole of life. Today, host Sam Bloore is joined by Dr. Jin Russell to talk about what a "portfolio career" means, why she's so passionate about children and families, and what it means to pursue excellence rather than success.Throughout her life and career, Jin has responded to a call to know, understand, and care for the health and wellbeing of children and families. She is a Consultant Developmental Paediatrician at Starship Children's Health and a Community Paediatrician with Planning, Funding, and Outcomes at Waitematā District Health Board. Outside of her clinical work, Jin is working on a Ph.D. with "Growing Up in New Zealand" the country's largest contemporary longitudinal study of child development. Her research in epidemiology looks at the impact of poverty on children. With the arrival of Covid-19 in Aotearoa two years ago brought another aspect to Jin's public work: thanks to her expertise in paediatric care and epidemiology—and a calm, thoughtful approach to good communication—Jin has become a significant voice in traditional and social media, communicating the needs of children in the nation's Covid-19 response. In this episode, Jin shares openly about her career to date and what energises her busy work and home life: she describes being sustained by God's grace, walking in-step with the Holy Spirit, and drawing on her commitment to the health and well-being of others. She also shares how her passion for child and family care extends into the joys and challenges of home life, raising two young boys with her husband Matheson and serving on the board of the Parenting Place. This episode offers a powerful and compelling picture of friendship with God, in the midst of the challenges and joys of working life. We know you'll enjoy it.

Dr. Jin Russell is a Consultant Developmental Paediatrician at Starship Children's Health (@drjinrussell). Jin graduated from the University of Auckland medical programme in 2007 with distinctions in paediatrics, medicine, surgery, general practice, and psychiatry. Jin completed specialist training with the Royal Australasian College of Physicians in Community Child Health, with expertise in developmental-behavioural paediatrics and child population health. Jin's PhD research is with Growing Up in New Zealand in the field of life course epidemiology. Jin has won competitive research grants and clinical awards, including a New Zealand Health Research Council Clinical Training Fellowship, a 2020 Starship Foundation Fellowship, a Royal Australasian College of Physicians Trainee Research Excellence Award, the W W Phillips Prize in Medicine and the Senior Prize in Biology. Her research interests are in the developmental health of populations, with a focus on the early years, life course epidemiological methods and the social determinants of health. Her research skills include advanced epidemiology and biostatistics for quantitative analysis. She believes that inequities in early developmental health can unjustly impact how capabilities form within children, and that addressing these inequities is essential to creating flourishing societies. Her PhD supervisors are Professor Susan Morton and Professor Cameron Grant. Jin has held several medical leadership positions within The Royal Australasian College of Physicians, including as a previous member of the inaugural College Council, and previous Co-Chair of the NZ Trainees' Committee. She is a Board Member of The Parenting Place. In this episode, we discuss the training involved for community child health and paediatrics, her work in this space, taking time off to pursue her phD, how her Christian faith and medicine have intersected for her, COVID and her church community, and navigating the boundaries and principles of Twitter. As always, if you have any feedback or queries, or if you would like to get in touch with the speaker, feel free to get in touch at doctornos@pm.me.Audio credit:Bliss by Luke Bergs https://soundcloud.com/bergscloudCreative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/33DJFs9Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/e9aXhBQDT9YSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/doctornos)

Jenny Hale is a Parenting Coach from The Parenting Place. Eating is a big emotional area where we as parents get invested. It can feel so much easier to get out the chicken nuggets and have them eat it or give them a bottle of formula so they don't go to bed hungry. In this chat, we talked about how sensitive children who are thrown by anything different often have a bigger hurdle to climb when it comes to eating because they are more suspicious. We can end up walking on egg shells to keep them happy and try to lead them into loving their food but by negotitating and talking about it all the time it can feel like we are putting pressure on them. Jenny talked about how kids are researchers who pick up patterns and are very observant. They watch what happens in a situation and they know the predictable patterns. Children fit into the "food dance" where it can end up with the same dance steps - ending with them given different food from what the family is eating. Ideas for getting more veges into their diet: + Enjoy vegetables and express how much you like them as you are eating with your child + Grow some veges at home and pick some so your child sees the connection between garden and table + Have some veges available before dinner if they are hungry while you are cooking dinner. This sub meal breaks it down into something smaller so it's not so overwhelming when they sit down to eat dinner. + Grate the veges into their meal + Keep offering veges at least 18 offerings. Don't make a big deal about it keep it light and lovely. You don't need to change what you are offering because your child is refusing it. If we have got into the pattern where our child will only eat a selected food group(s): + change our language around it. We often talk kids into it by what we say. Watch what you say around food when your child is listening. + Offer something in a meal that they can eat so we are not going into a battle zone. Keep it light. + Offer a trying plate to sample and eat that is separate It is tempting to set up dessert as a reward. Move away from dessert become part of a deal. Try to avoid sweet things being the best food group. A child easily sniffs out control. Keep the atmosphere light and move away from negotiating deals. Make eating dinner a time to connect and chat about the day rather than a battleground.

School's back and while that's probably a welcome relief for parents after a long summer, it might not be plain sailing for every kid. There's the change in routine, new faces and maybe even a whole new school. There's also the Covid curveball - and new measures schools have put in place to minimise the risk to students, including mandatory mask wearing. So how can parents help their kids navigate the transition from holiday to term-time and get them settled in? Kathryn talks to Dave Atkinson, CEO of the Parenting Place.

With a little under two weeks until NCEA exams kick off, you might have an anxious teenager in the house. Of course, Covid has thrown a curveball into this year's preparations - particularly for students in the upper North Island. Covid's also meant that many children in Auckland and Northland may be approaching the end of their primary, intermediate or high schooling without the normal farewells. So how can parents help their kids get ready for exams, or help their child cope with big changes to their learning career, without the support they'd usually get from their school community? Sheridan Eketone is a family coach with The Parenting Place, based in Auckland. She has four children, two of whom are preparing NCEA - and approaching it quite differently.
