Dave Saunders (www.fromladstodads.ie) joins The Mum Mind Podcast this week to talk about how Dads can often be left out of the conversation during the lead up to the birth and in those important early days.
It's important that Dads, particularly younger Dads, feel they can speak up and ask questions and Dave has created a community where they feel safe to do this.

“Why do I find “no” so hard and how can I be better at it?”
You wouldn’t think that one small word would be so complicated and exhausting! Using no, and holding the no, are essential parts of parenting but the fall out for both child and parent can often lead to difficulties in relationships. This week we help you to use no, not take the repercussions personally and explore how to use no as an essential part of helping your child build confidence.

It’s not a case of if children see images that may disturb them, it’s when. And in this episode Bethan and Stef are joined by vice principal Eoghan Cleary who, in response to the students needs at his school, has created a programme to help teenagers talk about these subjects.
Parents learning the skills and language of talking about these areas is also essential and starts with every parent developing a non-judgemental, curious and open attitude to these subjects, which can be a million miles away from what you were taught.
This episode contains language of a sexual and explicit nature.
