The technique of SCARING OR MANIPULATING KIDS INTO DOING WHAT YOU WANT has been around from the beginning of time. Parenting expert and one of Canada's top Parenting Coaches who specializes in children's behaviour and discipline - Julie Romanowski has a heated debate with iHeart Radio host Bill Carroll (of the the Morning Rush) on this topic that you don't want to miss!! It starts off with the controversial and viral videos going around of parents beating their child's stuffed animals as a way to make them eat their food at mealtimes but it doesn't end there. This is a debate of two very different opinions of two people of two different generations.

SUMMER BREAK IS HERE! …...and there is nothing kids want to do more than spending their entire days (and nights) on their favorite screens! But hold on, a parenting expert says "NO WAY!" and that we parents have to encourage our kids to not solely rely on screen time to 'entertain' themselves or to have alternate options for 'relaxing' and calming down. Julie Romanowski is back again on the Global TV National News 'ask an expert' segment sharing more tips like these on summer screen time!

 Alert!!: be aware of a disturbing new 'practice' that parents think is great but is actually really detrimental to kids! It's the viral videos going around on the internet about how parents will demonstrate IN FRONT OF THE CHILD an aggressive beating of the child's beloved teddy bear/stuffie. Although I fully understand that it can be extremely challenging and frustrating to get your child to eat healthy food and to eat their meals quickly, parents have to be very mindful of how they "encourage" their child to eat as the long term impacts can be devastating! Julie Romanowski discusses with CTV News what these long term impacts are as well as positive solutions to help encourage children at the dinner table.

Listen to Parenting expert and educator, Julie romanowski speak with guest host Adrienne Batra on the Alan Carter Radio show in Toronto, Ontario. Julie offers unique insight on the REAL problem about why limiting screen time is so challenging and it has nothing to do with the typical issues. It is something that has been overlooked and has to do with kids being autonomous and able to regulate themselves well.

You would never give 'cold/flu medication' to a child for a broken leg, so why would you apply a disciplinary technique like 'time out' to a child who has made a mistake? Children need to be taught by their parents/teachers/educators/caregivers the difference between RIGHT and WRONG in each situation and scenario. Never assume they know or that it is obvious. Kids have so many things going on in their worlds that they need that #1 person in their lives to help them through the storm so they know for next time what is expected of them. This also sends a very strong energetic message to them that 'they matter' and have worth and value because you saw the importance to teach them correctly.

3 TIPS TO BE MORE EFFECTIVE IN DISCIPLINE
1.) Stay CALM & NEUTRAL: our own emotions and stress need to stay out of this area....always.
2.) Focus on finding the MESSAGE behind the behaviour: children's behaviour is communication...always.
3.) Stay CONNECTED & emotionally available at this difficult time: kids need you to re-connect with them when they have made a mistake, acted out inappropriately and are vulnerable....always.

For more support and coaching in this area or others, please contact Julie for more info.

There has been a lot of controversy around competitive sports both in school sports and extra-curricular sports and the culture around 'winning & losing'. Many parents believe their children should learn these sports along with all the benefits of interactions, fitness and team work however, there is a grey area for kids who aren't good or can't perform well in these organized sports and shouldn't be put on the spot or shamed because of it.

Interactions with other children are extremely important for good development however, nothing should ever be 'forced'. Unfortunately in the school system has a curriculum to follow to help kids learn certain skills and the physical education curriculum has an even more specific goal. What are your thoughts on kids physical activities and the expectation to perform in games such as dodgeball or competitive sports?

Julie Romanowski weighs in on this topic about the options around this outcome and how we can be inclusive and yet still offer the same benefits of competitive sports.

Mommy burnout is a real thing and unless you've experienced it, you have no idea what it's like. The amount of stress that we are all under as a society is through-the-roof and that coupled with the speed to which we have to perform can be challenging at best, on a good day. When we add in parenting, a job, housework and family management - this is a recipe for a disaster and it usually lands on the lap of the most generous and kind......Mother.

The amount of INVISIBLE work that Mothers endure (and that's not to leave out Fathers however, the majority of this lands on the Mother) is like no other. It is rarely recognized, not validated, heavily judged and comes with basically no benefits. We need to start acknowledging this area of life and bringing light to it's darkness. Starting with awareness and then hopefully action along with supports, will make this burden in life be a little less heavy and perhaps even put out some of the flames.

If you are experiencing 'burnout' in your life whether it's in the household, in childcare, in the classroom or at work, contact us for a complimentary phone call to discuss options to ease the burden and get things back-on-track!

End of the school year is fast approaching and next thing you know, it's summer break! It's important to start thinking about that transition and let children know about expectations surrounding all this change. 

5 KEY TOPICS TO DISCUSS

1. end of the school year activities/field trips/parties
2. summer childcare or camps
3. list of activities to schedule
4. shift in rules around bedtime, mealtime & screen time
5. chores & responsibilities

You can always add to this list and keep an on-going checklist to remember which ones you have discussed or not. Children crave structure and do really well with direction with flexibility and choices. Prepping for the summer break transition can really make or break the joy of the season!

Screen-time use in adults AND children has become a real problem in many households around the world. Even though experts at the pediatric society have made recommendations on the amounts of time for screen use in each age category, it is still a huge issue between parents and kids. One of the most important things to do as a family is to create a MEDIA PLAN that includes all rules and expectations for each family member to help create a security net around this issue to help prevent it from 'slipping down a slippery slope'.

5 TOPICS TO INCLUDE IN A MEDIA PLAN

1. All RULES & EXPECTATIONS:   what games/activities are appropriate as well as the purpose to each one
2. Appropriate TIMES of day:   such as not before school only after school once homework is complete
3. Appropriate PLACES to use:   such as not at dinner time or in your room but it's okay in the living room
4. Amount of TIME per day:   let each family member know because it's different from preschooler and teenager
5. How to TRACK the time:   discuss what to use such as a timer or unplug the wifi
6. Any EXCEPTIONS:   like when friends are over or weekends
7. BREAKING of the rules:   discuss what may happen if rules are 'bent' or 'broken'

As parents, we are being watched all the time by children. Being a good role model by obeying the family rules and managing your own screen use is one of the most important things to be mindful of. Kids do as they SEE, not as they are TOLD.

Punishing children and/or giving consequences for their 'bad behavior' is a dated practice that no longer works for kids in this day and age because life is not the same as it used to be. The stress levels alone for young people is more than it ever has been before and when you mix high stress levels with punishments it becomes a recipe for disaster! More children are reacting to being punished in aggressive or violent ways because of the anger and resentment that builds from the PERCEPTION of not being heard, appreciated or understood. Pressures to perform perfectly while constantly being rushed with just trying to keep up with the speed of life, is pushing most kids to the 'boiling point'. This leaves Parents without the necessary know-how and confidence to address their child's behaviour or challenges. This doesn't mean do nothing - but rather we have to bring forward the methods and strategies that helps children learn,  become good regulators and autonomous individuals that demonstrate empathy and compassion for themselves and others.

Miss Behaviour parenting coach helps parents understand behaviour better as well as provides insights and knowledge for them to navigate around the pressures that surround their children and themselves.

Are we suppose to encourage teens to go to higher education such as college & university or are we suppose to help children follow their hearts desire no matter what they choose to do with their future? 
This is a very interesting topic that has a lot of people talking because the old norms of forcing your teenager to go to university are no longer. Times have changed and many young adults are not able to go or even want to go. Can they still have success? and should we celebrate this decision? For some, entering into the workforce is the right decision. Read the article featured in the Global National News with Julie Romanowski discussing some of the positives and negatives of this new thought for our young people.

This article goes into depth about the level of VIOLENCE in young children at school. This is a common issue for teens and young adults however, it's happening now more and more to children in the early years. Even as little as three years old, children are demonstrating severe aggression, lack of empathy and violence towards their peers, themselves and the teaching staff. 

I had the opportunity to speak to a large group of Teachers & Early Childhood Educators in twice this year about how we as a group can help decrease some of these challenges. It isn't a one-size-fits-all solution nor is it something you can change in one day. What is necessary is to bring awareness, educate everyone involved about best practices as well techniques that are effective and then put an action plan into place. It's not going to be easy, but it will be worth it.

Children learn in so many different ways. Making mistakes is an essential way all humans learn. When they make mistakes, it's like missing the bulls-eye on the target. Some times we will miss the mark but we can still try again. Helping children understand that there is 'learning' that takes place in mistakes AND allowing children the opportunity to make these mistakes without feeling ashamed or punished - is truly important and critical for development.

There is more learning in making mistakes then in doing things perfectly. In order to help kids learn and hit the BULLSEYE - it takes time, patience, guidance and connection - not punishment, consequences, time-outs or threats.

To learn more about this and how YOU can improve skills to help stay patient when children 'miss the mark, contact us anytime. This is what we do.

There is no better way to CONNECT to a child then being there for them and supporting them when they are vulnerable. This means when they are sad, upset, angry, ashamed or even embarrassed. When children make mistakes or react inappropriately, it's important to help GUIDE them through these challenging times as well as let them know what to do better NEXT TIME. Very often we are quick to scold, punish or lecture IN THE MOMENT but it is in the PATIENT GUIDANCE & CONNECTION that resonates with children and the place to which they learn, adjust and improve.

Canadian parenting coach & parenting expert talks to Global National News about how banning middle-school kids from restaurants is controversial but also is up to the discretion of the restaurant owner. Boundaries, clear expectations and awareness are all areas to be considered if someone is noticing unruly behaviour that may be disruptive or destructive to the patrons or employees. Even though parents are responsible for their children, it is the child's responsibility to problem solve and accept the consequences of their negative behaviour. Join in the conversation and let us know what you think and any experiences you would like to share around this topic.

Controversy has struck again among parents about 'ear piercing' their child's ears. Would you do it if your child strongly didn't want them and started to cry and protest? It becomes a discussion about a child's rights and personal boundaries and knowing where to draw the line or not rather than just about jewelry. Julie Romanowski joins host Jill Bennett on CKNW 980 news talk radio on this topic plus much more. Have a listen and weigh in on what you think by posting in the comments section.
