Resources for Parents
Books
The Whole Brain Child
Daniel J. Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson
The Whole Brain Child
This is available in an audiobook too and it is a fantastic, practical resource for parents, helping to understand the brain of a child as well as its development. It is full of useful tips, ideas and examples that you can start to implement on a daily basis to connect with and understand your children.
Podcasts
Janet Lansbury – Unruffled
A wonderful podcast on all things parenting. Janet has a focus on respectful parenting and positive boundaries. I highly recommend these short 15-20 minute episodes and you can scroll through and find a topic that interests you the most.
Maggie Dent – Parental As Anything
Maggie Dent is often known as ‘The Queen of Common Sense,’ she is a popular author and educator and has a special interest in early childhood, adolescence and building resilience. She is a wealth of knowledge and I love her books as well as her new podcast.
Diet and Food
Jessica Donovan – Natural Super Kids
Jess is an experienced naturopath, specialising in children’s health and wellbeing. I love her simple, easy approach to food, meal times and general wellness tips. She hosts a free live facebook webinar every Tuesday evening on a different health topic.
