Judy's Parenting Podcast for New MomsHow to Raise a Great Father"The way you raise your boy now will strongly impact the kind of father they will become."
Have you ever wondered about how your father became the way that he is?
Last week, I had an experience that confirmed with me what I've observed to be true for many years in my work as a parenting coach - parents with young children can't imagine their kids as adults.
The experience I had involved me taking part in an event that brought high school students together with seniors, to talk openly with one another about thei...
2018-06-1732 minJudy's Parenting Podcast for New MomsInterview: Dealing with back to school stressEver wonder how some folks manage their kids and the transition back to school and seem to make it all appear so easy?
How do other parents do it?
Perhaps they took some advice that I share in my interview with Deb Kozak on Kootenay Morning. (on Kootenay Co-op Radio)
It’s always a pleasure for me share my knowledge about what it takes to be a great parent. Listen in and learn how you can manage the stress of back to school with your kids.
2018-04-0412 minJudy's Parenting Podcast for New MomsParent Shock – when your 3 or 4 year old says awful things to youI'm sure you've heard the expression "children say the darndest things."
But sometimes they can say the most hurtful things.
I had a couple in the store last week who were distraught because their 3-year-old was lashing out at them.
Lucky for them, I had a really good idea about what caused such behaviour in their little one.
And lucky for you, I recorded my podcast about it this week.
Dealing with a preschooler isn't always easy, so I'm happy to help you understand this issue and share ways t...
2018-04-0416 minJudy's Parenting Podcast for New MomsI swore I’d never… then I had kids.Remember life before children?
You’d see a child screaming in the supermarket and you said… “I’d never let my child do that!”
Or... or... or!
You probably had a long list of “I’d nevers.”
And then you had a baby.
Try as you might, you probably have ended up doing things that you were sure you never would.
And you're not alone in that.
Parenting is hard. It's just plain hard.
And that ocean of "parenting misinformation" on the internet isn't helping you feel any more...
2018-04-0425 minJudy's Parenting Podcast for New MomsAre you raising a “spoiled” child?The issue of “spoiling a child” is obsessive in our culture.
And now, seeing as it’s summer, a lot of people have family visiting.
So even though the weather is lovely, moms have been telling me they are having a tough time being responsive to their own kids because they are getting a lot of flack from their visitors (the in-laws or mom or sisters or dads or whoever).
Things like…
“You pick that child up to much… you’re spoiling them…”
“Don’t pick that baby up every time it cries or you’ll...
2018-04-0433 minJudy's Parenting Podcast for New MomsShould you push your kids to be independent?“Don’t be such a momma’s boy.” “Careful you don’t turn her into a daddy’s girl.”
When it comes to the development of young children, there is such a strong push in our culture to force kids to be independent, even before they’re ready.
Parents are literally expecting their young children to “figure it out” on their own.
It’s like parents believe that having a toddler who is dependent on you is a bad thing.
But what if I told you that your child’s dependence on you is actually important...
2018-04-0426 minJudy's Parenting Podcast for New Moms“It’s your fault” and other terrible things people tell you as a parentThis week, I recorded a podcast where I talk about the interactions I’ve had with parents who took the time to personally respond to my recent blogs on Stress in Young Children.
I talk about 3 separate conversations I had with parents where they told me how they felt undermined by friends and family who had given them parenting advice.
And in spite of the pressure, they felt to follow the advice they were given, each of these parents had the courage to do what they thought was really right for their kids.
In...
2018-04-0430 minJudy's Parenting Podcast for New MomsPositive Discipline for the Terrible TwosWhen it comes to toddler behaviour, have you ever wondered why it is sometimes referred to as the Terrible Twos?
This week, I recorded a podcast where I explain the various aspects of a toddler’s development and why it’s so important for them to be disciplined in the right way.
And no, I am not referring to discipline as punishment or spanking or anything like that.
I mean discipline that builds connection with your toddler; that is loving and nurturing and guides them through a very important developmental stage of their lives.
2018-04-0430 minJudy's Parenting Podcast for New MomsIs Attachment Parenting Right for You and Your Baby?From time to time I am asked to give presentations to new parents. I love meeting new parents and helping to answer their questions.
This week, I have been asked by a local parent support group to talk about Attachment Parenting.
I decided to make it the focus of my blog post this week and record a podcast for you on the subject.
Attachment Parenting is a subject of much confusion for parents and I wanted to explain what it is and to help you answer the question – is Attachment Parenting right for yo...
2018-04-0429 minJudy's Parenting Podcast for New MomsHow Technology Impacts Your Relationship with Your ChildWhat would you do if you lost your smartphone?
Scary thought isn’t it?
Up until a few years ago, the word “iPhone” was a tiny part of our language.
And the word itself certainly was not part of anything to do with being a mother or a parent of young children.
Yet today, smartphones are a pervasive bit of everyday technology owned by virtually all of the young moms (and parents, caregivers or grandparents) I meet. Even I have an iPhone.
In the short time that smartphones and other...
2018-04-0425 minJudy's Parenting Podcast for New MomsRadio Interview: Stand and Deliver with Judy BanfieldMy hometown Nelson has a community radio station run by a crew of volunteers (Kootenay Co-op Radio). They offer a number of excellent programs, both music and spoken word shows.
I was asked to be a guest on a relatively new talk show called Stand and Deliver. The topic? Parenting young children of course!
Here’s the write-up from their Facebook page:
“Tonight on Stand and Deliver, we’ll meet and talk with parenting expert Judy Banfield to address the challenges that face parents of young children when it comes to raising kids. Raising...
2018-04-041h 00Judy's Parenting Podcast for New MomsIntroducing Solids to Your Baby“Do you see what I see?”
I asked this question as I was sitting with a number of new moms and their babies.
Some of the babies were 3 or 4 months old and there was one that was 6 months old.
It was obvious to me that there was a distinct difference in the older baby compared to the younger ones, yet the new moms couldn’t see it.
The distinction had to do with the way the 6-month old was sitting.
Would you believe that how a baby sits affects their...
2018-04-0418 minJudy's Parenting Podcast for New MomsIs your kid normal? Understanding Temperament Traits in Your ChildI’ve been around a lot of babies and children over the last 30 years.
And when it comes to describing what I’ve seen in their individual development, the word “fascinating” comes to my mind.
Why fascinating?
Because each and every one was individually unique in the way they were putting together their “own picture of the world.”
Yet there are countless books and websites that say, “this is what a 3-year-old does” or some other ideas about what a child “should” be doing by a certain age.
And in my experience, I’...
2018-04-0423 minJudy's Parenting Podcast for New MomsSleep 101 for New Moms and BabiesWhen it comes to caring for a baby, I’m always amazed how moms are surprised that other moms are having the same experiences.
This past week I was the guest presenter at a Parents’ Support Group. They wanted me to talk about infant and toddler sleep (or wakefulness!), one of my favourite topics.
We talked about normal sleep patterns, the stress of expectations, peer and media pressure.
Sleep and the way it happens (or doesn’t happen) is one of those things that so many people have an opinion about.
Yet many o...
