🎃 The balance between feeling a little fear but also not pushing too much- I’m a firm believer that our intuition and following our child’s lead is powerful and needed for times like this!

🎃I don’t know how Halloween night will go for us so I have a plan A (trick or treating) and a plan B (home disco/ games) 🎃

🎃What’s your plan if things get too much? Comment below

😍If you’re stuck for an activity this week- try these! Large white marshmallows, melted choc, coconut, toothpicks

👏They are so easy and we got very creative with our designs 🤣 taste lovely too!

♥️I used toothpicks but small pop sticks would be safer. Also, marshmallows can be a chocking hazard so take care.

♥️Let me know if you try them👻

♥️Were you the good girl? The rebel? The one who was always in trouble? 👀
Most of us can recognise a role we fell into growing up, and often these roles are shaped by how our parents responded to us and what we started to believe about ourselves day after day.

When one child is constantly praised for listening and another is repeatedly corrected, it can create a family dynamic where jealousy and competition begin to creep in

navigating different needs while trying to be fair to everyone can feel EXHAUSTING.

This is exactly where the F.I.R.M.® approach comes in.
You don’t need a completely different parenting manual for every child. You need an approach that helps you understand each child, adapt your responses and hold consistent boundaries while meeting their individual needs.

❤️ In our F.I.R.M.® Siblings Webinar, we’re going beyond the arguments and fighting to help you understand these family dynamics, break unhelpful patterns and build stronger sibling relationships.
