10 things to do at this time of the year with children

Seasons Greetings to you. I thought I’d do a quick blist (blog list?!) of things that are fun and calming to do at Christmas 🙂

  1. Be Present – kids need your presence as this creates memories and reassures at this time of year – so presence not presents!
  2. Get edible crafty – get crafty – make biscuits, marzipan balls, fudge, chocolates, chutney – edible glitter rules!
  3. Get crafty when decorating – think paper snowflakes, paperchains, “paper dolls” holding hands. Or all do some colouring – perhaps have the same outline and see who has the best colouring ideas!
  4. Do nothing out of obligation – only love (I have culled my Christmas Card list!)
  5. Set a timer for social media (see 1)
  6. Decorate some bought biscuits with icing and sprinkles – then eat!
  7. Take time to do nothing! Just relax!
  8. Have a pile of Christmas books and sit and read with the kids cuddled under a lovely blanket (and maybe some hot chocolate/ biscuits!)
  9. Shop online or only when you are in the mood (see 4) – book a post Christmas delivery!
  10. Its OK to say “no thanks” to events, suggestions, demands on your time (see 4)
  11. OK I know I said 10 – but fresh air is so great to exhaust the little mines – mine need a daily dose otherwise they pop like prosecco!

So have a super Christmas and enjoy the seasonal festivities

Best wishes

PS Its OK to hide in the kitchen with your head in the fridge eating chocolate 😉

Children arguments again? – time to SleepTalk(TM)!

Children arguments again? – time to SleepTalk(TM)!

I’m sure my story isn’t unusual if you have school aged children – or indeed  more than one child! The first week of the schools holiday goes fairly well, lots of playdates and things to do and then slowly the children spend more time together and the arguments start….

Linked in to the arguments is then the sibling rivalry, an issue any parent of multiple children will be only too aware!!! The issue of sibling rivalry was present in my family for a long time after the birth of my daughter, so much that I found a technique that really worked to support. It was hard trying to explain to a 3/4 year old that love was infinite and there was more than enough Mummy love to go around the whole family and as the family grew so did the love available. Infinite is a difficult concept for a 4 year old!

I was lucky to be recommended to a SleepTalk consultant who I worked with on the self-esteem program for children created by Joane Goulding. The difference it made to my family was immense and in 2014 I trained in it and am now an Accredited Sleeptalk Consultant 

Sleeptalk is a proven 30 year old program, with amazing results for children with a huge range of emotional, behavioural and anxiety issues.

It takes just two minutes a night and is carried out as your child sleeps, what a simple gift! The time it takes for the kettle to boil can improve your child’s emotional resilence and end tantrums, toilet, food, bedwetting, anger outbursts and sibling rivalry.

I don’t know why I stopped doing it but, I can guarantee I’m back on it now! The results often happen quickly and last a life time. The foundation statement is a lovely thing to say as your child sleeps (yes this isn’t a process to get your child to sleep!). It changes the whole family, all is calmer and well just nicer! Kids get on, so less shouting by anyone and a happier holiday full of making memories happens!

I look forward to sharing this two-minute miracle with you for a calmer, peaceful holiday!

As well as one-to-ones via skype and in person, I am also running an online workshop and one at The Gorge Therapy Centre – so please message me more more information – places on workshops are reduced in price but limited

Sleeptalk a two minute talk as your child sleeps, to improve childhood behavioural issues

About Me – Rom Cariad Therapies – the parent?

I thought I’d explain a but of my background and focus!  I’m Rom, a Mum to two children age 7 & 4 and a holistic wellbeing practitioner.

I always wanted to have children, but my children took a while to come along, with some heartaches along the way. Then motherhood really wasn’t as easy or “rosy” as everyone seemed to make out. I had dreadful sibling rivalry and jealousy, great school anxieties with my eldest and other normal childhood behavioural issues. I was lucky that courses and options came along to support me at the right time and I want to share these with other parents.

Don’t we all want to do the best for our children, to be the parent we want to be and not the one who is shouting, upset, stressed etc…

I know the services I offer work because I have been using them for the last two years and friends have been case studies for me as well!

I have been a Relax Kids coach for over two year and love the skills and benefits that the classes bring to children. I trained to be a therapist over ten years ago and love how these therapies all come together to build a package for you the parent and your children to really bring out the best you all have to offer and create those special memories.

Last year I trained to be a SleepTalk(TM) consultant, a self-esteem program for children. This program takes two minutes a night whilst your children sleep and can resolve a huge array of childhood behavioural issues from tantrums, toilet issues, anxieties, speech to other emotional and physical issues. For my son he received the headteacher’s award a few weeks after staring the Sleeptalk(TM) program!

I also volunteer at the SureStart Children Centre and am involved in their stakeholder meetings too. With children at school I also get involved in the PTA too!

My children are so important to me and their happiness in this sometimes chaotic world is key to their wellbeing and mine & my husband too,

This is my story, tell me yours

Have you got your Pants of Peace on?

Pants of Peace book by Marneta Viegas

Relax Kids Pants of Peace

By – Rom @ Cariad Therapies Oct 2014 Nova News

Isn’t that a lovely concept, that if you had a pair of magic pants, when you put them on you were calm and ready & able to get on with life, whether a child or an adult! This is what I’ve been working on, pulling on all my training and skills and practice of being a Mum, to bring together packages and classes to support parents and children.

Pants of Peace is a book by the founder of Relax Kids and is full of visualisations which help children to relax, feel less anxiety, less anger and greater self-esteem. I am a Relax Kids coach and run classes in Newport. Classes will be starting at the Children’s Centre in November for under 5s. A 30 minute Relax Kids session includes singing, dance & movement, relaxation games, stretches, gentle parent/child massage, positive talk and ending in cuddle time with a story visualisation and cosy blanket!

Classes can help children hyperactivity, anxiety, sleep problems, tantrums.

To put your name down for the class please contact me and please follow my Fb page “Relax Kids in Newport” for more details AND FREE DOWNLOADS! I hope to run classes for school age children shortly.

Parents, please have a look at www.spaceforcalm.co.uk, I have a range of services for the family! From flower essence, relaxing therapies, SleepTalk™ self-esteem program for children.

And yes, if I forget to put my pants of peace on, I do have to get changed! Have you got your pants of peace on?! Rom x
