PARENTS LISTEN UP So now I’m watching 7,8,9 years olds doing back to school morning routine as posts! Parents what on earth are you thinking? No Seriously? A time when family connection should be at it’s most highest, a smooth operation of a well practiced routine of breakfast together, lifeskills accomplished a mindset of focus & attention and the privilege to be educated. It is bad enough seeing how many parents are dependant on iPads and screens in the morning as babysitters turning into bad habits and chaotic mornings but please, now this? Look, you’ve got to take responsibility. I’m tired of hearing when anybody speaks the truth they are shaming, this is NOT shaming this is YOU CAN DO SO MUCH BETTER FOR YOUR CHILDREN and you must! You must. I know you can but you got to get your priorities straight! Let children be children PLEASE Let children wake with bed head not produced parents. They need hugs a warm smile a morning kiss, not you with a set up camera producing,or allowing it. Let children embrace your positive energy before you all go your separate ways for 8 hrs. Nobody wants grandiose children… do you really understand what you are breeding here in your home? PERFORMATIVE PARENTING a term I coined to reflect such behaviour from parents, is not it.

Parents, you should absolutely be in control of what your young infants and children are absorbing mentally. Screens are not it. 90% of your child’s brain is developed through the healthy interactions they have with their loving primary carers….human beings NOT images on a screen. Discovery and exploration should be a very organic interactive experience. If screens have become your dependency, the impact on your children becomes a very steep price. Start with: 1. Start saying No. Too much is too overwhelming. 2. Have a less but more impact routine that supports the whole family. 3. Instill boundaries, then uphold them. 4. Just be,lay on the floor, and just be with your child. 5. Sleep, sleep, and sleep every body’s body needs rest to restore. 6. Invest in natural play, Tupperware boxes, spoons, boxes, your own plastic cups, blankets, and sensory play from life. All is curiosity at this stage. #HelpingFamiliesShine💫 Jofrost.com
There is an uncomfortable truth happening right now, and that’s the importance of parents understanding the responsibilities of their role, raising their children with respect and good manners. The post is a fact….it’s happening, unfortunately. During the pandemic, we looked up to our teachers as the true mavericks they were and oh how quickly families forgot about their steadfast compassion and action, many raising families themselves. The indulgence, the lack of boundaries, the entitlement bred, and the lack of consistent healthy choices not made by parents leave a child very confused,vulnerable, and with the above. It’s time to change this parents , it’s time to take responsibility to RESTORE your family. I empathize with the energy it takes to do the right thing. However, we must do the right thing, so by parental example, our children will too! Sending you all sprinkles of love ❤️ Jo xxx #HelpingFamiliesShine💫 Need a little guidance? – Jofrost.com
Respect other parents’ choices. If you are meeting your child’s emotional needs, either choice is okay. #helpingfamiliesshine💫 jofrost.com
Nuance matters. We under estimate children, they learn from their carers, siblings, others in their environment. I just love and respect them so much. 🥰 So next time you witness a ‘fake cry’ smile to yourself, with a knowing, don’t get mad,get understanding – Jo xx #HelpingFamiliesShine💫 Jofrost.com

The nuance in our communication matters, so all feel heard and considered. #HelpingFamiliesShine💫 jofrost.com
Children do not define you. You love them deeply so that they can simply show up and be exactly who they are! #helpingfamiliesshine💫 jofrost.com
1. Seek out help to support & manage your anxiety as a parent. 2. Educate yourself 1st through medical professionals, then teach your children,it is an ongoing dialog. 3. Encourage your child using their own voice at restaurants or answering q’s about their Anaphylaxis. 4. Normalize carrying 2x epipens so they are not embarrassed. 5. If you don’t have, EVERY PARENT should teach their children about Anaphylaxis & allergies so this fosters empathy education and awareness. 6. Play out scenarios so your children don’t get caught out with peer pressure. 7. When in doubt, you leave it out…say No. 8. Your medical condition does not define your child. Make sure they know that. xx #helpingfamiliesshine💫 Jofrost.com
Parents. This is still not happening enough. We have children back at school, many are already making new friends,many will have difficulty and it will require you as the parent to make acquaintances and plan play dates and to also organize with other teen parents get togethers. You have to get past yourself in a situation that is very REAL in the 🇺🇸 USA. #AskTheQuestion Better still, reassure first. When we are all invested as Family, together, we are all safer. Thank you for reading, would you be so kind to share so others may receive. Jo x #HelpingFamiliesShine💫
