Happy Holiday Ideas - Easy Play at Home
Here are some great ideas for keeping your kids entertained during the school holidays from Parenting Coach Janet Powell.
Children's Tantrums - every Parent's Nightmare!
Why do young children throw tantrums?
You know the scene – in the supermarket, child screaming, throwing herself on the floor, mum looking frazzled and embarrassed.
It’s happened to most parents. Why? What’s going on for the child here?

Many parents of young children tell me that bedtime is one of the most stressful times of every day. When you realise that you have to go through this routine day in, day out for quite a few years, that’s a lot of stress on parents and children. Different parents have different bedtime practices – that is, the ways of getting their children ready and into bed, and the time they decide is appropriate. But there is one thing in common to all parents – if the children are not happy to go to bed when and how the parents decide, then there is tension in the family. And tension in the evening is not helpful for anyone’s sleep.
So what can parents do to get their children into bed happily and at a reasonable time, to prevent this night-time stress?
