Episode #120
I find each podcast insightful and always have something to think through and apply to my own parenting of 4 children and in my job as a primary teacher. I was particularly challenged to think about parent control and how I am ‘motivating’ my children to practise their instruments. I totally agree and see in reflection how telling my children repeatedly to practise is unhelpful for the long term goal of instilling a love for music and a self motivated desire to play. Tonight we started something new. We had a showcase night where each person in the family played something they were working on. Dad- played the spoons which made us all laugh, mum - sang ‘one finger one finger mountain mountain song, Miss 12- practise all her flute pieces for her mock exam tomorrow, Miss 10- played her favourite 3 saxophone pieces, mr 8- played the only 2 songs he’s learnt on trumpet so far and mr 6- sang Mary had a little lamb as he doesn’t learn anything yet. It was such a great time together and the kids are motivated to learn something for next Sunday night. Thanks again Justin.

More reviews of Dr Justin Coulson's Happy Families
Your podcasts have provided alot of good tips and perspectives on parenting and agree with alot of the other reviews, you are the light at the end of the tunnel when I most needed help. Would you have podcasts that talk about tweens getting into relationships? How and when to step in?...Read full review »

I loved the podcast from the beginning, but the new shorter format makes it even easier for me to listen to it on the go. So much great advice and information shared along with stories and examples that make it easier to put the learning into practice. Love it!
