If your kids seem perfectly behaved for everyone else then turn into tiny gremlins the second they see you… you’re not alone. This week we talk about what’s actually normal, what’s developmentally expected, and why none of this means you’re a bad parent.
We cover:
• Why kids save their wildest behaviour for you
• Meltdowns, bedtime chaos and what’s biologically normal
• Phases vs red flags
• Mum guilt, judgement, and the “am I the problem?” spiral
• Neurodiversity, diagnosis hurdles and the emotional load
• How our own childhood shapes how we respond
Hannah also shares honestly about navigating her child’s challenges and the shame, fear and confusion so many parents carry but rarely say out loud.
