Controlling behaviours
Does your child try and control you? How does that feel for you? In this episode, we try and dig out the root causes of controlling behaviours in kids and find phrases that we can use to help respond empathically to them to help them manage and make sense of those behaviours as they mature.

Hiding away
Sometimes, kids who display behaviours such as emotional or physical shut down or who like to hide away don't get as much airtime as those who display big behaviours such as anger or rage. But let's not ignore these behaviours - they are still a sign of struggle. Let's look at what we can say to kids in shut down or who are hiding away and how our words and actions can help them.
“Calm down!” “How dare you talk to me like that!”
Hi, I'm Ali, and a few years ago that was me talking to my fizzy kids every.single.day. The problem was, I went to bed feeling like a bad Mum and my kids were becoming increasingly dysregulated. They had behavioural problems, but it felt like I did too.
Join me on my quest to transform my parenting language and approach with my fizzy kids (autism, dyspraxia, sensory processing disorder, attachment disorder, anxiety and mental health issues).
