This is such a powerful quote and one that is so important for us all to remember, especially if we are parents or work with children. . Anger, violent outbursts, shouting and yelling, particularly if prolonged or recurrent all mask feelings of anxiety, sadness, worry and grief. . . To lessen these undesirable behaviours, we have to understand what is happening to cause the underlying feelings of ‘dis-ease’. We have to make the child feel happy, calm, loved and supported again. If we punish, shame, exclude or chastise we only add to the sad feelings that are causing the anger. .and ultimately, we make it worse. . . #gentleparenting #gentlediscipline #peacefulparenting #peacefulparent #consciousparenting #mindfulparenting #mindfulmothering #consciousmothering #consciousdiscipline #attachmentparenting #positivediscipline #sarahockwellsmith #gentledisciplinebookMy day today...writing chapter four of ‘The Second Baby Book’. All about preparing number one for number two. 🧒🏼👧🏾👶🤰🏻🤱🏽👩👧 . It’s SUCH a meaty chapter; including how to bedshare with two, how to stop bedsharing before number two arrives (and get them ‘sleeping through the night’ and settling for someone other than mum), the science of tandem feeding and how to do it and how to wean from breastfeeding (full stop or just at night) before number two arrives, settling into daycare, potty training when pregnant (or with a newborn), preparing number one emotionally, introducing the new siblings and the most pressing question of all “should you buy your firstborn a present from the new baby?” . I’m actually beginning to think this chapter could be a whole book by itself 😂 . Book is out in 8mths and I haven’t spell/grammar checked this yet 😉 (I know there are many errors - I write first, then copyread/edit later, otherwise it kills the ‘flow’!). . . . #gentleparenting #secondbaby #secondbabybook #newbigbrother #newbigsister #expectingagain #secondpregnancy #attachmentparenting #mindfulparenting #consciousparenting #peacefulparenting #cosleeping #babycalm #toddlercalm #bedsharing #tandemnursing #tandemfeeding #newbook #sarahockwellsmith #authorsofinstagramI didn’t realise how much I loved to swear until I had kids 😂 - did you know it’s supposed to be a sign of intelligence though? . . . #swearing #cursing #gentleparenting #mindfulparenting #monkeyseemonkeydo #rolemodel #sarahockwellsmith #parentingfail #parentingfun #motheringBoys don’t need any special parenting (neither do girls).

When is it Best to NOT be Child Led Regarding Sleep?
Many will know me as an author who advocated being as child led as possible as much as possible, particularly when it comes to sleep. I expect therefore that this post will surprise quite a few. Continue reading
