Infant Success

Big emotions can be overwhelming - especially when you’re little. When your child is caught in the chaos of a tantrum, it can be tempting to join them in their frustration.

But in tough moments like these, it’s better to take a moment (or two!), regulate your own emotions and show your little one a rational response.

A parent coach (like me!) can help find practical solutions like these and tailor them to you and your child. Find out more 👉 infantsuccess.co.uk

Young children understand an action - like having a snack, or a bath - but have no concept of time.

‘Strict boundaries, enforced with confidence are what enable kids to relax. It is our ambivalence about rules that compels them to ‘explore’ them.

This one might seem counter-intuitive, but give it a chance!

We often rely on screens to entertain, but it’s important for your child to learn to relieve boredom using the space around them.
This challenges them to explore and discover - something children are extremely good at! - and can result in them finding their own passions.

It might take a few attempts to master, but is worth the time and patience.

When things feel out of control, it’s hard to find space to think. Should I be doing this differently? Am I looking for advice in the wrong places?

The pressure to be perfect can affect many parts of our lives - especially how we raise our children.
