LLCR Parenting Specialist Mother, Montessorian, Child Development & Behaviour, Whakatōhea, Ngāti Porou

Through the combined study of psychology and counselling, as well as 13 years of working in a Montessori school, Yaelle has developed an effective communication and parenting style which can be used in both the home and professional settings. Principles of each of the three disciplines have been extracted and formulated into practical skills that empower adults and assist all individuals dealing with children aged between 0-9.

While I was away, I didn’t just rest, eat the most nourishing food, soak in the sea and the sun...(though I definitely did). I also had the opportunity to facilitate one of my favourite workshops—Making Friends with Impulsive Behaviour—in person, in the most breathtaking setting.

To the beautiful women who made this possible, to the mothers who shared from their hearts, and to all of you who allow me to fulfil this peaceful revolution, one home at a time: thank you.

When we understand our children’s behaviour for what it truly is, we can respond with more compassion, more patience, more curiosity.

This is deeper than “technique.” It’s a return to our truer selves. It is a return to our humanity and we need support not technique. After generations of suppression, unlearning and relearning is an act of reclamation. The heartbeat of hope. Balance. Humanity. Peace.

Whether you’re aware of it or not—your parenting is radical, and it matters more than you think. That's why this conversation must go on.

When I was a child, one of my mum's favourite grocers was a few suburbs over, in a neighbourhood with fewer resources. Every time we went there she would say how lucky she felt to live near there and have access to shopping within such diverse people. In giving thanks to this, she would pay the bill of the person in front of her at the checkout - every single time we shopped there.

Now as an adult, I can see how powerful that act of gratitude and peace was in the way it now impacts the way I behave and choose to teach my own son. Parenting truly is radical.

What acts of peace do you remember from your own childhood?

Love is not the answer.
Love is not all we need.
Love is not enough.
Love is a given.
Love is your natural state.
But it is definitely not the antidote.

I have seen, spoken to and listened to many beautiful people in my time, who have physically, emotionally and mentally hurt their children in the name of love, development, discipline, 'life lessons' and protection.

Love is not lacking in these people. Love is very present, in the forefront of their minds, "It's because I love you that I must...."

I know you can feel something deep in your gut, telling you that there must be a more loving way to guide the child, and there is. But without awareness, intention and the vital support needed to overcome the programming which holds our responses captive, we are not free to choose how we love our children. First comes the work and this goes hand in hand with the support of your village, however that looks for you.

Support is the answer.
Community is all we need.
Connection and communication.
Authenticity, and curiosity.
Awareness, willingness, knowledge.
These hold the key to love. Love alone is not enough.

I deeply honour the weight of this silent work, how hard it is, how painful it can be. Sending so much love to each of you going through this now ❤️ Please reach out to me.

This is a picture of me in that same boat - sleep deprived, feeling unseen and unsupported, under financial stress and at a loss of how to fulfil the love I have for this little person, who is wholeheartedly dependent on me.

More often than not, we believe too many changes are difficult for a child to manage—so we wait to introduce anything new.

For example, during toilet learning we might hold off on other big shifts (like introducing a toddler bed) because we assume it would be too overwhelming.

But… from supporting and observing children over the years, I’ve noticed the opposite.

When there’s one change to the routine, it can feel like an energetic wave—and many children are actually able to ride that wave and handle additional shifts around the same time.

Currently, Decial is away, and with the bigger routine change already in motion, I introduced two updates to Zev’s sleep routine:
✨ bedtime 30 minutes later than usual
✨ a challenge for Zev to stay in his bed until the morning

So far, it’s been 100% success.

This is a method I’ve used throughout Zev’s life—and with many other children I’ve supported.

Does this sound like something you might try? 🤔
If you’re curious, please reach out—I’d love to discuss what might work best for your family.
