The Aware Parenting Podcast Marion Rose, PhD.

This is the last episode in the series related to my latest best-selling book, 'I'm Here and I'm Listening', before I return to finish the food series, so this episode is a kind of bridge back to that!

Then I'll be starting the second sleep series!

Today, I share a story from my book, again from a child's perspective.

Before that, I talk about how in Aware Parenting, one of the core aims is to help our child/ren stay connected with, or return to, the innate wisdom of their body, including in relation to food.

Doing our own inner work in relation to food, and getting clear about our own beliefs and choices, is so vital to this.

There's a really in-depth chapter on all of this in 'I'm Here and I'm Listening'.

You can buy 'I'm Here and I'm Listening' on Amazon by searching for 'I'm Here and I'm Listening' on the Amazon store in your country.

In this episode, I talk about why children aren't fighting sleep, and why we're often fighting their natural relaxation response.

I share concisely about how we can trust children and follow their lead and can then cooperate with their natural relaxation response.

I explain the power of play before bed, and why we can look at the "it'll all end in tears" phenomenon in a very different light.

At the end, I share a story from a child's perspective that comes from my latest best-selling book, 'I'm Here and I'm Listening.'

The book has a chapter on sleep.

If you want to understand more about sleep and Aware Parenting, there is the first sleep series already recorded, and I will be starting a second series soon, to correspond with my next book, which is about sleep and Aware Parenting.

In this episode, I share about how we can stay connected with children in relation to screens, including with attachment play.

I offer some information that I wish I'd had when my children were younger, about loving limits.

I also share a touching story at the end from my new book, 'I'm Here and I'm Listening', from the perspective of a child.

Putting ourselves in our child's shoes can really help transform our parenting experience with screens.

I talk about one phrase that I found really helpful around screens.

There's an in-depth chapter on screens in my latest best-selling book, 'I'm Here and I'm Listening.'

In this episode, I share about what's going on when a child is hitting. I talk about them being in the fight or flight response, and how we can help them move out of that state of hyperarousal, through feeling physically and emotionally safe, to return to homeostasis through healing raging and crying (or laughing and playing) with our loving support.

I mention ways we can prevent hitting from happening in the first place, what we can do if we don't get there in time to prevent it happening.

I talk about the choice we have between loving limits and attachment play in response to hitting, and what exactly we might choose to say with loving limits.

I finish with a story from my latest book, 'I'm Here and I'm Listening', which is through the eyes of a child who is hitting.

In this episode, I talk about when children use have a soft toy, blanket or other object as a control pattern. This might be something they use to suppress their feelings when going to sleep or during the day when feelings bubble up.

I explain about how they used to be known as 'transitional objects' in Winnicott's work, and how we see them differently in Aware Parenting.

I also share my own experience of having a bunny as a control pattern for many years, and the touching experience I had in my early twenties.

I offer ideas for how you can help your child if they have a control pattern like this.

Then I read out the story from a child who has a bunny control pattern from my latest book, 'I'm Here and I'm Listening.'

In this episode, I respond to questions about loving limits that parents asked on my social media accounts.
They include:
What happens when loving limits don't seem to work – eg, the child moves on to something else and doesn't express any feelings;
When loving limits aren't actually the most apt response;
When our own feelings come up;
When we find it hard to be with the crying and raging that happens after loving limits;
When the child experiences the loving limit as a punishment;
Whether loving limits are possible in response to shouting;
How we can care for two children after a loving limit if one is trying to hit the other one.

To celebrate the birth of 'I'm Here and I'm Listening', my updated Loving Limits Deep Dive is 50% off for the next week with the code: UPDATE (all in capital letters).

That means it's AUD $55 instead of $111
