The most important influence on your young child’s view of themselves is you. As they grow they get an increasingly detailed self-image; who they are what they are good at and what they are not, whether they are a good kid or a problematic one etc.

If your kids don’t want to go to bed – its because they like their life too much. There are also sorts of interesting things that are happening or might happen when I am awake, (not the least of which might be just spending some more time with you) and none when I am asleep.

Why would I want to go to bed?

Is your household a melting pot of your kids constantly competing with each other? How do you stop your kids from killing each other?

Previously in this blog series we have discussed structures for co-parenting households to set up in order to gain the best results for their children.

Taking the time to understand how the difficulties of separation can affect a child and their behaviour can help us approach problematic behaviour, with a better mindset and lead to better results.

Parenting is hard.

To be able to nurture your child’s complex development in the age of technology is incredibly demanding. Parenting your child through the minefield that is co-parenting after separation is much more demanding again
