How To Be A Calm Parent

Most parents struggle with staying calm. Parenting is really hard, and no parent is perfect but that doesn't stop us from feeling guilty when we yell or say something to our children that we're not proud of. Guilt is a massive problem for parents who are already exhausted and stretched thin. The good news is, there is a (realistic and achievable) way to be calmer, to lose the guilt, tame the stress and be the great role model your kids need. This talk with Sarah Ockwell-Smith, author of How to be a Calm Parent, will tell you how.

How To Balance Work And Parenthood

With one in five children having a diagnosable mental health condition, now is a more important time than ever to focus on our children's emotions, confidence and happiness. Much of the current parenting advice drives a wedge between the parent/child relationship and actually damages mental health. In this talk, Sarah Ockwell-Smith, author of How to be a Calm Parent, discusses practical ways in which parents can really help their children to grow up happy, confident, with good mental health and respectful behaviour.

How To Raise Happy, Confident Children

How To Survive The Tween And Teen Years

There is a lot of information for parents of younger children, but little when parents most need it: during the tween and teen years. In this talk, Sarah Ockwell-Smith, author of Between, for parents of 8-13yr olds and How to Raise a Teen, for parents of 13-21yr olds, discusses the most common behaviour difficulties faced by parents of older children (including rudeness, backchat, screen addiction, refusal to do homework and sulking): and how to tackle them in such a way that your relationship with your older child and young adult flourishes.

How To Improve Your 0-5yr Old's Sleep

The early years of parenthood are exhausting, especially because most children wake in the night for several years and bedtimes can be one of the most stressful periods of the day. Many parents turn to conventional sleep training, involving leaving their child to cry, which doesn't produce long-lasting results and can leave parents feeling stressed and anxious. There is another way though. In this talk, Sarah Ockwell-Smith, author of The Gentle Sleep Book, will discuss ways that parents can improve their child's sleep, without tears.
