Raising Little People: Recent Episodes
Sallianne Robinson
Welcome to my world of Raising Little People. I'm Sallianne Robinson and I want to help you be the best parent you can be. I've realised that my 20 year career in teaching has actually reached far beyond this and I have actually been put on this earth to make a difference to those who are either children, parents or early years practitioners. It is more of a calling than a job and I am privileged to enjoy getting up every day to work with children and make their experience of childhood the best it possibly can be and support those adults directly involved with them, either practitioners or parents. Quite simply, I understand children. I get what they need from us and I get what you need to do to give them the start they need in order to embrace the challenge of life. It would be selfish of me not to share with you the years of knowledge and understanding I have in child development and what works for them.We all want our children to be happy, right? I intend to help you in your journey to be the best you can be to give them the best they deserve. Let's enjoy the ride together.
In this episode I share with you 3 of my top skills you can learn to be a great leader.
Being Captain of your Ship is a game changer with no need for authoritarian, top down management (I can't even call that leadership!). It just doesn't work, people don't want that in the way they work any more.
Being with your team, knowing your role, knowing that you are there as their safe harbour and anchor should they need you is a delight in leadership.
And wait for the bit about how it feels when your team start working for you - such a sweet spot and you know you're doing well as a leader when you get to this point.
Enjoy and if you'd like to find out how we can work together to learn these skills, you know where to find me.

In this episode, I hope I can give you some inspiration to understand that giving yourself the gift of TIME is so essential, whether you're a Nursery Manager, Nursery Owner (any leader in fact) or a parent.
You cannot give 100% of your energy, focus and give it your full attention, if you don't make time for yourself first. You cannot lead a team or a family on 40% for very long that's for sure, without the B word happening, and we do not want to be burnt out (sorry, said it). No-one benefits from you then!
Give your team more time, give your family more time by giving yourself more time first.
I cannot recommend it enough.

These big emotions and feelings are horrendous to deal with don't you think?
They come to all of us through out our lives and being emotional intelligent is absolute key when it comes to navigate, manage and move through them, without allowing them to take over.
It's such a good idea to teach our children about these big emotions from an early age. In this episode, I share how I supported a mum through a time when her child came out of school disappointed, and rather than just dismissing and glazing over how he felt, how it is better to feel into that with him, teach him how to articulate the feelings he is experiencing and share ways in which he can accept and manage them.
It was pretty powerful.
I hope it helps and you enjoy my thoughts.

I had a chat with a mummy recently and she wasn't sure how to talk to her son about her mum who had passed away.
It's interesting because we expect children to react in the same way about death as we do, but more often the not and the younger they are, they see it as an event with little emotion, but they will have plenty of questions.
In this episode I explore how children respond and how you can support them and yourself through these sad times.
Let me know if it helps.
Following a lovely conversation with one of my mummies, she had an epiphany and realised that by allowing herself to take time to fill her own emotional bucket and spending time on herself, meant that she was emotionally available for her child more of the time.
It's a must!
So, I allow you permission to take some time out and focus on you.
You are so worth it.

I was triggered recently. I saw a dad lose it with his child who was having a disagreement with their sibling, pushed them out of the door of the shop in front of everyone...by the ear! It was unpleasant to watch.
I try so hard not to judge anyone because you never know what's going on for parents and children but this was a tough one I must say.
However, I do believe that whatever is going on for you, it is not fair to take it out on your children. Just because you are emotional and triggered, they may be too but they don't know how to deal with these big emotions. They look at us for support and guidance and when we lose it, you can create a scenario where the child feels unsafe sharing difficult situations with you, and believe me, when they are in difficult situations as they grow older, you'll want to be the first person they come to. So, we have to create that safe harbour for our child to be able to express themselves as comes naturally to them and we are there to support them through it.
This dad could have taken a step back, regulated himself and asked the children to step out so they could have a chat together and try and resolve the conflict. Everyone would have felt heard and safe to react emotionally knowing dad had their back.
I wish I could have helped him.

I've got my own version of sleep training and it all has to start with you.

Are you running around chasing your tail most days wishing that getting out of the door could be so much easier?
Do you start your day on the back foot and trying to get the children out of the door on time ends up being a complete mission and you dread it every day?
Do you all end up in a complete meltdown before breakfast?
Life can be so much easier when you have a good solid routine in place to start your day from a place of ease and I have just the episode for you.
I'd like to share with you the routine I developed that meant I was in control every day when my children were growing up. We all left the house on time with very few tears and tantrums. I did not want a chaotic household and I wanted the children to leave for school calm and collected and ready for the day. And best of all, I felt good too!

Welcome to my world of Parenting, made easier.
I thought I'd give a little Intro as to why I'm in this space and how I can help you.
I think children deserve the very best child hood and to achieve that, they must have parents, carers and teachers around them who know and understand how to interact in a way that suits their developing needs, helps them learn and helps them feel good about themselves.
To do this, my 3 pillars of Parenting Excellence will help you:
1. Develop the right Mindset and look closely at the type of parent you wish to be, help eliminate those limiting beliefs holding you back from being the Leader your children deserve.
-
Take a close look at your Developing Child, learn why children behave the way the they do and know how their brain differs from ours.
-
Develop your own Tool Box; a set of tips and tricks to have up your sleeve to help you stay in control and know what to do and say when the going gets tough.

In this episode, I share my recent experience on being told I was molly coddling when my grandson fell over.
I have reframed my thoughts on this one. To help
Children become emotionally intelligent, we have to be emotionally available when they need us. Each moment can be seen as a learning opportunity which is what happened here.
I hope it helps to look at things a little differently.

In this Christmas Special episode, I help you see that it's not always a good idea to encourage, force, help and assume that our children will want to sit on Santa's lap, or go anywhere near him for that matter!
It's important that we listen to our children and not assume that they'll be ok with it. They have feelings and emotions in the same way that we do and when we don't want to do something, we have the right to say no and the right to be heard. Children are no different and it is our responsibility to help our children feel seen and heard.
Together you can find ways that they do enjoy Santa... but on their terms.

In the first of 'Christmas Specials', I help you not to forget about your children at Christmas!
I know, I know, isn't it all about them?
Of course, but there is a very important message that we must tune into to ensure they not only have a great time, but they thrive emotionally this Christmas.
I hope you enjoy this one.
Merry Christmas

It's a horrible emotion and quite frankly feeling guilty comes as a standard download when you become a mum!
In this episode I reframe feeling guilty into something more manageable and offer some ways in which you can turn it into something useful and learn from it.
Being emotionally intelligent is a huge part of the journey and we learn so much about ourselves when we become a parent. It's good to be able to manage and recognise a range of emotions and then learn how to manage them. It's good for us and certainly good for our children.
I hope you enjoy it.

You need a degree to be a brain surgeon, so why don't we need a degree to learn how to interact with our child's brain?
In this episode, I walk you through why children do what they do pre 7 years old and you'll see that they can't help but have a meltdown when things don't go their way.
It is imperative that you learn how to respond when they express huge emotions, that you learn about your own triggers and why they get on your nerves and you end up shouting. You'll also learn that we have the key to unlock all the teachings there is to help our children to become emotionally intelligent as they grow.
Becoming Emotionally Intelligent is probably the most important lesson we can teach our children. They will flourish in life if they know how to manage their own emotions and have a good understanding of how to interact with others.
I hope you find it useful.

I'm all for Early intervention. It is imperative to make sure children have the right support at the right time and I am the first to champion that child and get that support for them.
However, I do think we are labelling our children too quickly. I believe that children who express challenging behaviour need something else from us before we start going down the road and labelling and fixing them.
I'm hoping I can show you in this episode just what children need from us when they display challenging behaviour.
Let me know your thoughts and if you're finding yourself confused, mirroring their behaviour and you're not sure which way to turn, I can help you. Send me a comment with the word 'Meltdown' and we'll start a conversation.

It's a phrase that I get a tad frustrated by as you'll hear in this episode!
Children are born to hear but we need to teach them to listen, it's not something they do automatically, unless they are super engaged.
As their teacher, role model, guide and superhero, it would be wise for us to take a step back and evaluate what we expect from our children when we want them to listen and focus. We then need to think about what we do as adults when we are not interested in an activity, are we then focused, listening and engaged?
We listen and focus when we are interested. So we need to ask ourselves when we say our children aren't listening....are we doing enough to engage them in the first place?

Ok, I'm serious!
I say it to my parents so many times but no-one takes me seriously.
It's time to listen up and make sure you take time for yourself. It's not selfish, it's not neglectful, it's not going to harm them, it's a vital non-negotiable ingredient to parenting that simply must be taken seriously.
I'll share why in this episode.
By the end of it, I hope you're getting your diary out and your busy booking up.
Enjoy!

We all want a manager who is a leader, not a boss, they are two different people with two different management styles. One employee will leave on the back of one style and one will stick around. It's not hard to figure which one is which.
In this episode, I talk about how the skills we expect from a leader should be present as a parent. If we are to change generational negative parenting styles, we have to look at the qualities of a leader and see how these skills transfer to being a parent leader.
Which one are you?
Without judgement or criticism, if you find yourself a parent boss, you can learn to be a parent leader and build better connections with your child. You can quit your job if you have a boss but your children can't hand their notice in can they! So, we have to take the responsibility to learn how to be the best leader they deserve.
I hope you enjoy it. Let me know if you are a parent boss who wants to change that. DM me the word LEADER and we'll start the conversation.

Sometimes I think if I knew then what I know now, I would do some things differently as my younger mummy-self.
The good thing is that I can share these points with all you mums with littluns and offer you all these tips and tricks to help look after yourself as a parent first and foremost.
Grab a pen and pad and makes notes and implement them into your day to day parenting.
Im talking about setting your own limits, living by your values, not losing your identity, how to be strong and not turn into a quivering wreck, how to do it your way and f*&% everyone else and how to simply ditch perfectionism!

Patience is a virtue when it comes to Potty Training.
I urge you to take time and really be patient when your child is learning this very new essential life skill. It's not going to happen over night, it's not for you to decide when to potty train, they are going to go back and forth and it is going to be frustrating....very frustrating!
Potty Training ends up being more about you than it does them if we don't take the time to understand our role as their educator. You must embrace it for what it is and quite honestly, the greater patience you have, the quicker they will learn because they will be able to explore in the safety that they will not be made bad and wrong for having another accident.

In this episode I look at Discipline and Consequence with a very positive approach. Historical parenting styles are out of the window here! I share with you how you should be using discipline and consequence from a very difference perspective and how imperative it is for children to learn these valuable life skills and how we can interact to support, guide and teach them.

Emotions run high when our children make their transition to starting big school, for you and for them.
In this episode, I share with you what to expect over the next few months in the lead up to starting school, what you can do to support your child and to support yourself.
It's a big one and so valuable to see what's going on for them at this very important event in their life and how you can best support them.

This one is so from my heart! I say it how it is and share what we need to do to be the best parent we can be for our children to have the best start in life.
I open up about my journey as a young mum and the trauma we went through and realising now that in amongst it all, parenting doesn't need to be so hard.
With the right mindset, attitude, understanding of yourself as a parent and your developing child along with good values and strategies, you can build a beautiful two way life long lasting relationship with your children.
I hope you enjoy it.

It's important to know what's going on for your older child when you have a new baby. They change and in ways you didn't think possible.
They have feelings and emotions in the same way we do but they don't know how to manage them or know what they are. Having a new baby creates all sorts of emotional triggers for our children.
Here, I explore what is going on from their point of view and we look at ways you can support and interact with your child to ensure they feel connected, supported and loved.
I hope you find it useful.

In this episode I was talking to my daughter in law, Charley about a phase my grandson, Jack is going through.
It's a common reaction to worry about what people think of us as parents,. We are easily judged and under pressure thinking that someone is ready to criticise us for not doing a good enough job.
Charley was concerned recently about what people may think and I helped her feel secure in her position as a parent and how she can support Jack through this phase, how she can pre-empt the situation when out and be one step ahead of the game.
I hope it helps x

In this episode, I share how I helped a mummy reframe her frustration when she came me saying they're naughty, out of sorts and biting me!
Looking through the lens of her child who had recently started nursery, we explored what was going on for them, we looked at why they were reacting in this way, how their brain is developing, and how they were trying to come back to safety.
I offer some support as to how you can manage these situations, what you need to focus on and make sure that you are focusing on your emotional well-being to give them what they need to feel safe and secure.
I hope you enjoy it.

In this episode I talk about the importance of the 3 Parenting Superpowers; Brain Power, Emotional Power and Practical Power.
I explain how and why it is essential to have a good understanding of yourself and your role as an Empowered Parent, to be willing to learn as much as you can about yourself and what kind of parent you want to be. You are the Captain of your Ship and it is essential to know your boundaries, what triggers you especially times of emotional discomfort and know how to self regulate and interact with your child to support their emotional wellbeing.
I talk about Emotional Power and how you must have a good understanding of Child Development, Attachment, Brain Development and when you know why children do what they do at different stages of their development, you have a better chance to know how to react and interact at their level to suit their needs.
And finally Practical Power, making sure you have routines, boundaries and consistency in your parenting to help you child feel safe and secure.
Parenting Superpowers are essential ingredients to help you become an Empowered Parent, Captain of your Ship and Chief Super Hero!
We don't often like taking our children to the shopping centre, garden centre or any crowded place for fear they may have a tantrum.
In this episode, I'd like to help you see that it is your responsibility as to why your child results in being bored and consequently has an emotional outburst with a few simple ideas you can follow to help them enjoy the experience rather than it being a complete nightmare for everyone!
I'll also show you how to say no with confidence and support your child in a positive way.
This is a common problem for parents.
Knowing how to support your child can be difficult when you know there are no monsters in their room especially after a busy day and you need your sleep!
How you tune in and listen will make all the difference.
I help you here with some useful tips and tricks to change what you say to your child to support their feelings and encourage them back to a restful night sleep.
Should we be telling our child to say sorry?
In this episode, I turn saying sorry on it's head and show you what it means for a child to say sorry and how you can teach them what it truly means and when to use it.
In this episode I talk about why Time Out should be a thing of the past and why Time In is a much better way of supporting our children's personal, social and emotional well-being when the going gets tough.
The answer is simple. Anything and everything!
In this episode, I wanted to share with you how children learn language and what we can do as their first educator, role model and superhero, to support them every step of the way.
I hope you enjoy it.

Excuse this rough and ready episode. I recorded it while sitting in my car waiting for someone and it was pouring down!
This is a really important message for children who are developing a stutter. It is imperative to understand how they process language and how our impact to hurry them along when they are trying to find the right word can have a detrimental effect on their learning.
I hope you enjoy it.
Much love

Hi lovely parents,
In this episode, forgive me for the rough edged recording, I was sat in my car with the engine on and didn't realise the sound quality. However, I have been taught not to worry about this and just get it out there.
So tadarrrr...here it is!
I'm sharing this with you as a very important point about how children learn at this stage of their development, essentially through play. Of all the advice in this episode, the biggest point for me is that for children to learn our language, we must simply allow them time to be, time to listen, time to interact and time to develop these skills. And the most important part is that children will learn best from you. You are their parent, first educator and superhero, you can teach them anything!
And if you get stuck, I'm here! If you're struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel, stressing too much and you simply can't find your way, email me at talktosallianne@gmail.com and we'll book a 30 minute chin wag to see how I can help you.
You don't have to go it alone. It's a tough job but it doesn't have to be an uphill struggle.
Much love
Sallianne
In this episode I talk about transition.
There is a really important technique you can use to reduce the tantrums when you want to move your children from one activity to another.
They're playing blissfully in their room and you know it's nearly bath time. You become anxious at the very thought that it is going to kick off again. Wouldn't it be easier to let them be and just have 5 more valuable minutes to enjoy the peace and quiet?!
No....you know they have to go to bed. You've got to do this!
Instead of embracing the usual scenario of agonisingly moving your children on from an activity and doing something you want them to, try this simple way of giving them time and advance warning that something is going to change.
Their brain needs to process the information before they are able to break from one activity to another, especially when it's not as half as much fun as what they are already doing!
I hope you enjoy this and put it in to practice.
Let me know how it goes.
Enjoy!
Welcome to my Podcast.
In this episode, I want you to think about you!
We can focus so much on our children that we forget about each other.
This is a subject that gets widely overlooked yet is so incredibly important.
Our children need to see affection, they need to learn how to interact and hold a relationship with others. And that starts with you. As their role models, they need to know their parents get on.
Too many times, I have seen children grow up, go off to university, leave home and then....their parents split up. Very sad.
You must look after each other. Everything revolves around your children all of the time and I am big believer that you must find time for yourself and each other. They need to see that.
You teach children resilience and self confidence by spending time on your self.
Have a listen and see what you think.
let me know how you intend to spend time on yourself and with each other.
Enjoy!
Welcome to my Podcast.
Today I talk to you about the importance of setting routines.
When you are calm and in control, your children will respond better to you and they will be calm and in control.
I talk about the routines I had when my children were growing up. It came naturally to me to set myself a routine in the morning to get out of bed on the right side and your children leave the house with everything they need and most importantly, no screaming and shouting at each other to get out of the door.
I set a routine for everything - I did not want to lose control and be the parent who was alsays stressed and shouting at her children. It worked for me and I hope you take something from this to start building your own routines.
Routines change of course, life changes but when it does, be sure to set a new routine up. When you are in this mind set, it comes more naturally to follow this system.
I have created a downloadable routine and planner for you to work out and stick on your fridge.
I will add the link as soon as it is finished.
Let me know how you are building routines into your everyday and share what difference it's making.
DM me and we will arrange a 30 minute call to talk about how you can set routines in your day that work.
I look forward to hearing from you.

In this episode, I share with you the importance of keeping calm in times when you could lose your cool with your child.
Whether they are two, twelve or twenty two, children are learning how to deal with life skills and highly charged emotions. In times when their emotions are out of control, they do not want to see you mirroring and imitating their behaviour by losing it, screaming shouting and generally not holding your emotions together.
I know they push your buttons, but you are the adult. You are their role model. You are their hero. You are their support. End of! Your child needs to feel safe and secure in an environment where they can express their emotions knowing that you are going to have their back.
There are many tips and tricks I can show you to support you in recognising and reacting appropriately to their behaviour during these difficult times and in response afterwards. It is not about letting your child get away with things or allowing them to talk to you as they please, but the starting point must be how you react to these situations.
Remember, parenting is more about your leadership skills than you controlling your child's behaviour.
Enjoy! xx
In this episode, I talk about Potty Training.
I turn it on it's head slightly and ask you to consider your child when it comes to potty training. Most of the time we decide when we want to train our children to use the loo but in reality, your child will tell you when they are ready.
I talk about your mind set and show you how tuning into your child is the fundamental way you can support them in this milestone journey in their career in child hood.
I offer step by step strategies for you to follow and put into practice way before your little one is ready to be potty trained.
I have supported hundreds of children through this crucial step in this developmental milestone without the stress simply because I know how to tune in to their needs and signals but only when they show you they are ready.
I hope you enjoy it.
Your child is new to this adventure called life.
We are here to teach them....everything....absolutely, everything. And we need to take responsibility for the fact that if they are behaving in a certain way or doing or not doing something you want or don't want, it is all a reflection about you and how you are responding and guiding them .
In this episode, I bring to the forefront that children and their behaviours, learnings, trials and tribulations all has to be related back to and be a direct result of how you are responding to and behaving towards them.
Once we have that sussed, we will be able to look at the strategies and approaches that will support your child's development not hinder them.
Enjoy!

You have an incredible feeling when you become a parent. I call it The Mummy Switch. It can be the Daddy Switch too I've just names it the Mummy Switch.
It's powerful, overwhelming and incredible. You have created a human being and you will protect them with your life. End of!
In this episode, I explain what I mean about the Mummy Switch, I relate it to those Mummy's I show round at nursery when they are pregnant and once they've had baby. The Mummy Switch gets turned on and I explain here what that means for you and how you develop a radio wave that your child tunes into.
Hope you enjoy it.
