In this episode, Ashleigh discusses the growing trend of early academic learning and the implications it has on child development. She argues against the push for earlier schooling, emphasising the importance of play, attachment, and emotional readiness. Ashleigh highlights the economic motivations behind these educational policies and questions whether they truly serve the best interests of children. The conversation explores the challenges children face in early schooling environments and advocates for a more thoughtful approach to early childhood education.

009 | Reading to Kids to Release Emotions
In this episode, Ashleigh shares ideas on ways we can support our kids through the joy of reading stories. She explores how this can help children release emotional energy in their system, which will inevitably reduce challenging behaviour.
Through personal stories of supporting her own kids, Ashleigh shares ways she has used books to support them to feel their vulnerable feelings and release their tears, moving around any walls of protection they had built and getting to the deeper feelings they were holding.

008 | Raising Ourselves
Today I am chatting with Bridget Wood, a thought leader on human behaviour and a mother to three young children. When it comes to raising cooperative and mature children, one of the key pieces of the puzzle is us, the parents, doing our own inner work. In this episode we chat about how children express the very things we find difficult to accept in ourselves, why creating a healthy relationship with difficult emotions is essential and what impact unconditional love has on behaviour. This is one of those episodes you'll want to listen to again and again!
