In this episode, we chat with the lovely Oona Alexander - a parenting mentor known for her pressure-free and empowering approach to navigating challenging behaviour in children.
Oona has helped countless families raise happy kids and feel good about themselves as parents. Her magic? She doesn’t force a one-size-fits-all method. Instead, she listens, adapts to each family’s lifestyle, and supports parents in a way that actually works for them.
We talk about:
-
Why traditional discipline often backfires
-
How to handle tricky behaviour without shouting or shame
-
The power of connection over correction
-
Practical tips you can try today to create more peace at home
Whether you’re deep in the toddler years or navigating older kids, there’s something in this episode for every parent.
We promise you’ll leave feeling hearand a little lighter!
With love,
Ivana & Yaw
