And before those of you who want to clap back, just take a minute to ask yourself how do you think it looks to your child when YOU the parent encourage them with your instructions to go into a place,a bathroom that they are told they will have privacy in, to swear their little heads off AND now post that because you are more focused on YOU and your likes then the fact your little ones are TRUSTING YOU?
Educational posts and filmed insight has to be diligently edited you have a moral responsibility, I know that more than most as ive spent time in edit on my own shows and I had consent from parents who understand this was a learning educational experience with me to help transform their situations & their parental challenges. As parents you need to be more self aware for their sake first and not because you need & want the attention.
Put the children first,because there are too many monsters out there waiting for you to post. Jo xx 🤍

This may be triggering for some parents. Duty of care requires proffesionals like myself and resources like child services to be mindful of the subtle signs that show when a child is living in or being neglected and a parent needs the extra help they may feel too much pride to ask for.
Here is what you can immediately do:
Keep your fridge clean
Your child’s bedding washed every 2 weeks.
Towels every week
Bathrooms cleaned
The home
Toys.
Clothes
Nails, toes, hair, teeth etc.
You get what I’m saying here. I know teachers do because they see it.
No excuses parents, go dollar store if you need to to buy soap.
When you show respect for yourself, your home and your child by doing, they too will find it for themselves!
You got this- Jo xx 🤍
Can I get a 🙌🏽 for us all supporting eachother as parents and providing these basic needs for our children. Please feel free to add your thoughts.

Many of you parents worldwide are raising and mentoring these children. They need to be held accountable but they need to be held. Their knowing is a superpower that needs to be protected, so that it will never feel a burden.
They need to process, so need parents who can learn to adapt an support them with patience and acceptance. They need lots of giggle time and freedom to express who they are from within for it is that truthful integrity, that authenticity that is going to be profound one day.
Now just imagine if everybody saw Every child as such with respect,look at the society they would live in. We have a duty to do right by our children,whether it’s raising them, inspiring them, teaching them or merely being the ones they see in their daily lives. Smile when you see a child, show compassion because you are apart of how they see & feel about the world. Jo xx 🤍
If you agree,show me your 🤍

But should they…..should they really when here’s the real uncomfortable question…..take a moment and ask yourself, do you give it?
Do you have respect for yourself.
Do you have integrity with your words and actions.
Do you hold yourself accountable.
Do you uphold your boundaries.
Do you mean what you say and say what you mean….
Do you treat your children like the whole equal human beings they are.
Do you consider their opinions like you consider your own.
Do you speak to them with dignity and kindness.
Respect isn’t lost in one day, it’s a consistent build up of interactions that diminish the admiration that once stood tall as an example.
How do you treat your children,seriously, how do you treat them the next time you stand and demand to be respected – Jo xx

Even if conveyed in a heightened state of emotions,like crying or passion.
It is when the action crosses boundaries with personal insults verbally, or you are shown disrespect by actions violating your physical space.
If giving opinion bleeds into such, you are in your capable right as a parent and role model to uphold your boundaries and stipulate healthy rules for engagement and continue the conversation.
Sometimes it is needed that both parties stipulate in taking a moment to catch oneself,regulate and come back to the conversation.
It cuts both ways too parents!
If parents could remember this tiny nugget of advice it would help their child feel heard and respected too.
You lead the way and you will get the best out of eachother! 🤍 Jo xx
How many of you have or are working on this?
#helpingfamiliesshine💫
Women in despair!
Men, tapped out!
This conversation has got to be openly discussed more, it is a HOT RAW uncomfortable truth that Is burning a lot of couples in my private practice.
All these men on social media spitting out their ‘truths’ with their cigars in one hand and their whiskey in the other, but where is their talk around the mental load carried,rinsed out and draining women on an extra spin cycle daily?
#1. Reminding dads to ‘play’ with their children.
#2. Reminding men when things need to be done.
#3. Reminding, Reminding Reminding.
The list goes on……
Women want intimacy, women want too.
Let me hear your thoughts.
Women & men maybe we get to learn something from eachother today. Jo x

It’s amazing how we can get so lazy very quickly with language and fall into easy habits, this post is to help parents with awareness so, the next time your child tells you no, you can think about what you can say instead.
Would love to hear your sentences too to help other parents reading ! Jo xx

Read this one twice.
And so the cycle continues…until you stop it,because the children can’t, as they are desperately trying to connect.
How does this sit with you now you’ve had time to digest?

Live and experience life first, mix it up, try different things, you don’t even know who you are,what you like, go discover yourself,get lost in travel and experiences, not the hype on Social Media then come ‘home’ and make your moves.
You are just beginning, stop acting like it’s the end of the world.
You are the world! 🥰
Parents this is exactly how you talk to your children at home who are panicking giving themselves anxiety. For a young adult to explore they need the comfort of your reassuring words, your confidence in them because you are their ‘Home’ and when that’s always there, you empower your children to take healthy risks and explore – Jo x
How does this sit with you all?
