EP 99 - Cai Graham - Tired of Nagging Your Teenager?

Technically, we only have 6570 days until our child turns 18. How we spend those days is crucial to building a strong foundation so that our kids are best equipped to becoming fully fledged adults. No pressure! In this episode I chat with Nellie Harden where we discuss how best to ‘flip the coin’ and use the days that we have left more effectively. It doesn’t have to be hard work and nose to the grindstone - in fact, it’s better if it’s not.  Nellie explains how keeping it real, and removing the power struggles is the best way to build better connection with your teen - so that together you can make the best use of the time you have left, before they ‘fly the nest’ for good. Want to know more? Then Grab a cuppa - and keep listening! ~~~~~ More about Nellie Harden : Nellie Harden is a wife, mom, dreamer and multi-preneur to businesses that are born from experience and serve others with BIG purpose.  Coming from a diverse background including marine science &amp; behavior and family wellness she decided years ago that living a life designed by purpose and for freedom was how she and her husband, along with their 4 daughters, wanted to live. Today she is a family life coach helping others build their own extraordinary story while, also, building an unshakable foundation for their children to launch into their adult lives with. She believes that a family filled with creativity, fun, laughter, challenge, adventure, problem-solving, hugs, good food and learning can not only change a person's life, but is the best chance at positively changing the world.

EP 97 - Cai Graham - How to Help a Child with an Eating Disorder

We were brought up at a different time. The world has changed - and as a result, many parents struggle to help guide their child through the myriad of decisions they are expected to make in order to find their way onto the “correct career path.”   These decisions are expected to be made earlier and earlier - which causes so much heartache.   What if I told you that there are no wrong decisions?!   In this episode Oie and I discuss her 4 stage model where she addresses : a ) Values b ) Natural Talents c ) Interests d ) Work Preferences   Her model will facilitate this journey and ease the burden from such young shoulders whilst having to make these big choices.   Want to know more? Then grab a cuppa - and keep listening! ~~~~~ More about Oie Dobier : Oie based her education and career on all the wrong things. She chose a path that others expected of her which led to changing her major, jumping from job to job, and finding herself always looking for the next big challenge. Then in her early 40’s, she was passed over for a promotion which caused her to do some self-reflection. Although the pay was good, she realized she was tired, bored and unfulfilled. She had chosen a career that didn't align with her values, passions or natural talents and felt it was time to be more purposeful with her life. What if there was a way to teach young people how to figure this out earlier? A way to help them start their career in something fulfilling, interesting and enjoyable? What if she could save them from the years of struggle and unfulfillment that she and so many others have experienced? As a result, Project Who Am I was born and she’s been helping young people learn about themselves and apply this knowledge to their educational and career pursuits.

EP 96 - Oie Dobier - Helping Your Child Find Their Ideal Path

EP 95 - Cai Graham - Don’t Blame The Smartphones!

I’m not one for this “New Year - New You” nonsense … it puts us under so much pressure to do better and achieve more. But what I do advocate is grabbing the learnings from the life that we live - and from that determining whether we continue as we are doing, or change our direction (if only a little bit). As parents we need to lead by example - and show our kids that (when they grow up) life is still fun and worthwhile and to be lived to it’s fullest. I offer some 25 pointers (give or take) that will help 1. Be comfortable with the discomfort 2. Slowing down is a sign of strength 3. Be a beacon of light 4. You are your first priority 5. We are all walking different paths 6. Nobody can do the pushups for you 7. Trust the experts 8. Friends matter greatly 9. Alone and Lonely are different 10. Start with Accepting yourself 11. Drop the SHOULDS 12. What brings you joy? 13. Practice gratitude 14. Be brave 15. Trust your gut 16. Surrender - Trust - Do not doubt 17. Do new things 18. Be Kind 19. Happiness is a choice 20. Allow time and space to heal 21. “You Do You” 22. Transparency is key 23. Change is inevitable 24. Hope Matters 25. Celebrate the wins Want to know more?

EP 94 - Cai Graham - Can 2021 Make You A Better Parent?

Presents need wrapped ( in my case some haven’t arrived yet!) - Relatives are coming home ( well, at least you hope they are ) - Turkeys need stuffed - AND Covid is still here. Nerves are understandably frayed.   No wonder we are at the end of our tether and taking our anxieties and stresses out on those closest to us.   In this episode I discuss how to avoid ( or if not - then minimise ) the tensions that are likely to be running riot in the home right now.   I offer some pointers that will help 1. Remember WHO you are 2. Stay away from the flash points / people 3. Remember “It takes two to tango” 4. Take much needed time-out 5. Set realistic boundaries 6. Eliciting support can help EVERYONE 7.

EP 93 - Cai Graham - Minimising Conflict at Home this Christmas

10 Pointers to Create a Happier Home “It’s the most wonderful time of the year.” - And yet I am seeing more young people than ever looking for for support. Many kids are finishing school for the holidays, relieved that there is some sort of respite from the chaos in their minds ( and lives ). On the flip side, many students are returning home for Christmas exhausted and emotionally rung out. How can parents try to create a happier home for their kids and bring back the cheer and frivolity that Christmas ought to guarantee. To be honest - it’s not really about tinsel and gift laden stockings … its about going back to basics. In this episode I discuss 10 Pointers to Create a Happier Home 1. Teamwork makes the dream work 2. Self Care 3. Family Stories ( good and bad ) 4. Do new things 5. Be flexible 6. Have some fun 7. Equality wins 8. Spend quality time together 9.

EP 92 - Cai Graham - You Are Only As Happy As Your Saddest Child

Self Harm amongst young children has doubled in the last 6 years.   This makes for unsettling reading for any parent.   For many, this topic can be terribly scary as they themselves have little first hand experience of self-harm; resulting in many parents approaching the topic of self-harm from a place of fear.   When a parent finds out that their child has been self-harming they do very often blame themselves. Experiencing feelings of : Confusion, Helplessness and Uncertainty.   It is understandable for parents to be alarmed as reports are quoting rising statistics and also linking self-harm with increased risks of suicide.  So understanding self harm, in my opinion, is key. In this episode I discuss What is Self Harm Why your child might be self harming The signs to look out for What to avoid doing Alternatives to self harm Other ways to help  Want to know more?

Face-to-face bullying is on the decrease which is great news … BUT cyberbullying is rife. The worse thing is that it is usually anonymous - which is doubly unsettling.   The bullying statistics are alarming.   A while back Guardian recently reported that more than half of children aged 11 to 16 have been bullied about the way they look, with 40% targeted at least once a week, research has found. More than half (53%) of young people who experienced bullying based on their appearance said they had become anxious as a result and 29% had become depressed. One in 10 said they had had suicidal thoughts and 9% that they had self-harmed …   and the figures are still rising.   Many parents are able to understand “in-person” bullying, from their own experiences so they are better prepared to support their children who are under fire.   However, the goalposts have changed since we were youngsters and thanks to the advancement in technology the bullies can now hide behind their anonymity … enter the new phenomenon Cyber Bullying.

EP 89 - Matt Douglas - Addressing the Common Pressures that Teens are Facing

Debi Silber

Anyone who is well versed in betrayal is likely to have experienced a seismic shift in not only how they start to see themselves - but also in their new vision of the world.   Perhaps you find it difficult to trust others again; Maybe you shield yourself from entering into close relationships or Possibly you struggle to trust yourself and your decisions.   Whatever your experience - it’s likely that left unprocessed and unaddressed, the betrayal is likely to still leave it’s mark, years or even decades later.   In this episode, I chat with Dr. Debi Silber about my own experiences and how - even though I thought I had worked through my own betrayal story - there are still issues that need to be addressed.   Dr Debi discusses Post Betrayal Syndrome and the necessary stages that we need to go through in order to ensure we are no longer jaundiced by the betrayals that might previously have haunted us.   Want to know more? Then Grab a cuppa - and keep listening! ~~~ More about Dr. Debi : Dr. Debi Silber, founder of The PBT (Post Betrayal Transformation) Institute https://PBTInstitute.com She is a holistic psychologist, a health, mindset and personal development speaker, author and mentor who helps people heal from Post Betrayal Syndrome. She’s the author of the Amazon #1 bestselling book: The Unshakable Woman: 4 Steps to Rebuilding Your Body, Mind and Life After a Life Crisis. Debi has contributed to The Dr. Oz show, FOX, CBS, The Huffington Post, Forbes, Psychology Today, Health, Shape, WebMD, and Glamour to name a few. Her recent PhD study on how we experience betrayal detailed : what holds us back, what helps us heal and what happens to us (physically, mentally and emotionally) when the people closest to us lie, cheat and deceive made three groundbreaking discoveries. Her proven process, birthed from those discoveries, has helped thousands of people fully heal from betrayal; enabling them to thrive in their relationships, work, health and life. ~~~  How to Contact Dr Debi Silber: Dr. Debi Silber Founder: The PBT (Post Betrayal Transformation) Institute https://thepbtinstitute.com/ Host of The From Betrayal to Breakthrough podcast https://thepbtinstitute.com/podcast/ Watch my Recent TEDx Talks! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyqOR69dHiU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XX30i6nC7ro Do you have Post Betrayal Syndrome?

EP 88 - Dr Debi Silber - Overcoming Betrayal and Learning to Trust Again

Aiyven Mbawa

This is a podcast first for me : chatting with two inspiring young ladies!   Many parents, when trying to monitor their child’s tech usage, do so from a place of fear. It’s not their fault, it’s just that they have not grown up in the digital age, so they are not really parenting from experience.   In this episode I am chatting to Kirsten &amp; Aiyven Mbawa who have become published authors and also they run their own subscription box business; and they say that all of this would have been made much harder without technology.   We talk about technology, what it takes to juggle school work and all their other responsibilities &amp; past times, and how they manage to achieve a healthy - but necessary reliance on technology.   Want to know more? Then Grab a cuppa - and keep listening! ~~~ More about Kirsten and Aiyven Mbawa : Welcome! We are Kirsten and Aiyven of Mbawa Books. We live in Northampton with our parents, youngest sister Kaitlyn, pet cat Zaki and pet pigeon Gus. It’s fair to say we are voracious readers or book addicts if you like with a bit of a thing for getting others to catch the reading bug☺.  Sagas of Anya by Kirsten &amp; Land Of The Nurogons by Aiyven are our debut middle-grade novels. Our books started life as entries to the 2019 BBC 500 Words writing contest. Even though we weren't successful, we turned our entries into middle-grade novels which are now on sale on Amazon &amp; our website. You may have watched our reviews of children, middle-grade or young adult books on YouTube, Facebook or Instagram.

Whichever way, we're sure by now, you get the idea that we are mad about books. And that is why after having published our books, we decided to launch a book subscription box for kids 8-14 years old. The mission? The vision? To promote literacy and diversity in middle-grade literature. Happier Every Chapter, is the ideal book subscription box for tween or young teen bookworms!  ~~~~  How to Contact Kirsten &amp; Aiyven : 📍 50% OFF &amp; BONUS Book with 1st BOX on 6/12 month plans : CODE : FIRSTBOX50 Tel: +44 (0) 7949 820 944 W : www.mbawabooks.co.uk  E: hello@mbawabooks.co.uk Shop : https://www.mbawabooks.co.uk/collections Facebook | Instagram | Twitter: @mbawabooks  Books mentioned during this episode : 📍Sagas of Anya : by Kirsten Mbawa 📍Land Of The Nurogons: Zest for Quest : by Aiyven Mbawa ~~~~   DON’T Forget : If you or your child are struggling with your emotions at the minute - then I have a great online course that introduces you to 7 different breathing exercises that a can get you out of many sticky situations : 📍www.caigraham.com/breathe Use the Coupon Code : STRESS throughout November 2021 and receive a 65% discount.

Or you may have seen us on Channel 4, Steph's Packed Lunch, BBC Look East, Northampton Chronicle &amp; Echo, Daily Express, Daily Mirror or even in The WeekJnr magazine. Whichever way, we're sure by now, you get the idea that we are mad about books. And that is why after having published our books, we decided to launch a book subscription box for kids 8-14 years old. The mission? The vision? To promote literacy and diversity in middle-grade literature. Happier Every Chapter, is the ideal book subscription box for tween or young teen bookworms! ~~~~  How to Contact Kirsten &amp; Aiyven : 📍 50% OFF &amp; BONUS Book with 1st BOX on 6/12 month plans : CODE : FIRSTBOX50 Tel: +44 (0) 7949 820 944 W : <a href="http://www.mbawabooks.co.uk" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.mbawabooks.co.uk</a> E: hello@mbawabooks.co.uk Shop : <a href="https://www.mbawabooks.co.uk/collections" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.mbawabooks.co.uk/collections</a> Facebook | Instagram | Twitter: @mbawabooks Books mentioned during this episode : 📍Sagas of Anya : by Kirsten Mbawa 📍Land Of The Nurogons: Zest for Quest : by Aiyven Mbawa ~~~~  DON’T Forget : If you or your child are struggling with your emotions at the minute - then I have a great online course that introduces you to 7 different breathing exercises that a can get you out of many sticky situations : 📍<a href="http://www.caigraham.com/breathe" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.caigraham.com/breathe</a> Use the Coupon Code : STRESS throughout November 2021 and receive a 65% discount.

EP 87 - Kirsten & Aiyven Mbawa - Using Technology the “Right Way”

This week ( November 1st - 7th 2021 ) is International Stress Awareness Week.   Somewhere along the line, we have learned to normalize the stresses that we are facing - and as a result, our minds and bodies are often running in a state of high alert.   In this episode, I discuss the different stresses that we are exposing ourselves to and why they can have a huge impact on us physically, mentally, or emotionally; as we end up compromising our health, our relationships, and our overall wellbeing.   COVID has been one of the notable stressors that we have ALL been experiencing for the best part of 18 months and now we are just beginning to witness the effects of this longer term stress.   I also offer coping strategies that will help you and your child address these issues quickly and safely..   PLUS a huge discount on one of my online courses.   Want to know more?

EP 86 - Cai Graham - How to Manage Stress

This crazy old world can be very overwhelming sometimes - no matter what age you are; and I know from experience that we need to take care of our health (mentally and physically).   It’s too easy to forget about ourselves - whilst we continue to spin plates and react to the chaos around us. However, when we do neglect our own needs - then the cracks start to show.   In this episode, I am chatting with Sam Bernice - who is founder of The Children’s Yoga Foundation. I quickly learn that yoga is not just about sitting on a mat and testing your own flexibility. It is an entire wellbeing philosophy that will help parents and children alike, establish a better relationship with ourselves so that we can better cope with the challenges that we often face on a daily basis.   Want to know more? Then Grab a cuppa - and keep listening! ~~~ More about Samantha : Hi – I’m Sam, founder of Sam B Yoga and The Children’s Yoga Foundation.   In my 20 years of teaching in schools and being a parent of three, I have noticed children developing more and more problems with their mental health. There is so much pressure put on teachers and parents to help with this, but many of us are struggling with our own mental health.  How can the practice of yoga help you or your child? Yoga is not just about the postures and getting on the mat. Following this science and philosophy offers us as parents deep contentment and wisdom that can be shared with our children.   Modeling self-care and well-being techniques continually guide and support our children. The practice of yoga, especially off the mat, aids our children in recognising and managing their emotions, instilling healthy habits and mastering their minds in a journey of self-discovery. So as parents, it all starts with us. Ask yourself, are you ok? How can you optimise your well-being, to be a better Mum/Dad/person?  A lovely place to start is trying out family yoga together. It will strengthen your connection and help you learn about it in a fun way. Try reading some books on yoga, try some postures and give some breathing techniques a go. If you need any help or guidance, I have many years of experience in making it exciting, appealing and accessible to our younger generation.

EP 85 - Samantha Bernice - Finding the Right Wellbeing Tools for You and Your Child

Many parents feel under so much pressure to ‘Keep up with the Joneses’.   Whether it’s the continuous cycle of after-school activities - ferrying kids from Cubs to Swimming to Piano … Or ensuring that the house is pristine and all the laundry is neatly stowed away - the need to manage these high expectations can be relentless.   In this episode, I chat with Mary Broddle who, through declining health is unable to maintain this idea of ‘perfection’ - and Mary is just fine with that, thank you very much!   We talk about how technology can be a necessary lifeline and why teaching your child to contribute to the running of the house through chores and responsibilities prepares them for independence a bit earlier...   Want to know more? Then Grab a cuppa - and keep listening! ~~~ More about Mary : Bio – Engineer, Embroidery Entrepreneur &amp; Disabled Mum Mary is a disabled mum to two boys, aged 11 and 8. From having to ask her midwife for an OT referral, to isolating through the pandemic, her health has affected how she parents in a big way. We all feel we should be providing our children with opportunities and experiences, but what if you can’t?  Mary says cut yourself some slack - being loved is the main thing they need to experience. As she has become increasingly disabled Mary has realised more and more the importance of the example she sets her sons.  Mary had a successful 20 year career in Rail Engineering. But her worsening health meant she reached a point where she had to accept she couldn’t keep going as she was and she left her job. Whilst being Housebound, Embroidery has helped her cope with chronic illness and increasing disability; addressing the challenges, many of which are beyond her control.  And so - using this passion of hers Mary has set up her own Embroidery business (a far cry from the rail industry!) and she now shares her skills to help others find the enjoyment and mental health benefits it has afforded her. ~~~  How to Contact Mary Broddle : www.marybroddleembroidery.com Instagram - @marybroddle_embroidery Facebook - @marybroddleembroidery LinkedIn - /marybroddle ~~~~~ My Anxiety course provides you with support by :  ✔️ Recognising the triggers Understanding Anxiety - and why we don’t want to get rid of it all together Learning a couple of techniques to help you stop a panic attack in it’s tracks How as a parent, you can support your anxious child 📍www.caigraham.com/anxiety  If you or your child are struggling with your emotions at the minute - then I have a great online course that introduces you to 7 different breathing exercises that a can get you out of many sticky situations : 📍www.caigraham.com/breathe * Three Questions to Ask Your Uncommunicative Child : All too often parents say to me : “My child won’t speak to me” or “I know something’s not quite right - but they won’t tell me what’s wrong.”  Well, I have a resource for you.  Download this FREE Resource : 📍www.caigraham.com/threequestions It will help you reconnect with your child quickly and easily; and in a way that will not drive them to their bedroom to avoid you! ~~~~ If you are looking for support at a deeper level for your child, then please book a call with me.

EP 84 - Mary Broddle - You Don’t Have to Run Yourself Ragged

As adults, we carry around with us many unresolved events and issues that, upon reflection, shape the way we behave as adults. Loss, betrayal, fear, trauma (to name but a few)… all take their turn in determining particular limiting beliefs and coloring our values.   Our perception of ourselves changes and we start living by the stories we create about ourselves. This is not always terribly helpful. Much of this boils down to the feelings of not being ‘good enough’ and self-judgment.   Last week I was at a retreat where I was given the opportunity to rewrite some of the stories I was holding about myself since childhood.  How brilliant it would have been if this emotional baggage was dealt with when I was younger.   How brilliant if we could teach our children how to deal with their emotions in a more healthy way. We can! Want to know more? Then Grab a cuppa - and keep listening. ~~~ I Am What I Am Gloria Gayner I am what I am I don't want praise, I don't want pity I bang my own drum Some think it's noise, I think it's pretty And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle? Why not try to see things from a different angle?

How brilliant it would have been if this emotional baggage was dealt with when I was younger. How brilliant if we could teach our children how to deal with their emotions in a more healthy way. We can! Want to know more? Then Grab a cuppa - and keep listening. ~~~ I Am What I Am Gloria Gayner I am what I am I don't want praise, I don't want pity I bang my own drum Some think it's noise, I think it's pretty And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle? Why not try to see things from a different angle? Your life is a sham till you can shout out "I am what I am” I am what I am And what I am needs no excuses I deal my own deck Sometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces It's one life and there's no return and no deposit One life so it's time to open up your closet Life's not worth a damn till you can shout out "I am what I am” I am what I am And what I am needs no excuses I deal my own deck Sometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces It's one life and there's no return and no deposit One life so it's time to open up your closet Life's not worth a damn till you can shout out "I am what I am” I am, I am good I am, I am strong I am, I am somebody I am, I do belong I am, I am good I am, I am strong I am, I am somebody I am, I do belong I am, I am useful I am, I am true I am, I am worthy I am as good as you I am, I am useful ~~~ If your life feels all up in the air - why not take my Parenting Quiz?

EP 82 - Cai Graham - How to Deal with Anxieties & School Refusal

September is a time of year where we usually feel energised and motivated into kickstarting our lives after the summer. However, for many of us at the moment, this new found enthusiasm is being rather elusive.   Are you feeling the same?   This week I was going to pack it all in and retire!   In this episode, I talk about how it’s OK not to have our shit together and that this is perfectly normal not to have life all mapped out.   Maybe you are getting to grips with an empty nest or at loggerheads with your teen; or perhaps you feel stuck and feel trapped and that there’s no way out …   Truth Bomb : You do not have to make any big decisions right now.  Oprah said “When you don’t know what to do - do nothing.” Want to know more?

She is a bright light and a voice of support to all parents who deeply love and wish foster a healthy relationship with their children!
