    Kate and Amelia are diving straight into the tumultuous world of infant emotional regulation – in other words, tantrums!

    Guiding us is an expert on coaching kids and parents through the tough stuff, ⁠Madhavi Nawana Parker⁠. Madhavi teaches us what to do in that meltdown moment, what's going on, why, and how finding connection helps us as much as our toddlers.

    Madhavi is a behaviour consultant, counsellor, and Director of Positive Minds Australia who’s written many books on social and emotional wellbeing. Get in touch with Madhavi via positivemindsaustralia.com.au

    Raising Children Network has some excellent resources on tantrums and self-regulation. Also check out the Gottman Institute’s guide.

    We acknowledge this land that we record on as the traditional lands for the Kaurna people and that we respect their spiritual relationship with Country. We acknowledge the Kaurna people, as the custodians of the Adelaide region and that their cultural and heritage beliefs are still as important to the living First Nations people today. We extend this respect to the cultural authority of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from other areas of Australia and elders past, present and emerging.

    Screen time – it’s the battle of our parenting age, especially when guidelines recommend zero screens for children under two. How much is ok, if any? Is zero screen time realistic? What’s the harm of storytelling cartoons like Bluey? What about the educational apps that teach literacy and numeracy?

    Dr Mary Brushe led a groundbreaking study on how screen time can interfere with children's language development. She joins Kate and Amelia to unpack their findings and give us the tools to set up healthy habits for our kids and ourselves.

    Mary is a Senior Research Officer at The Kids Research Institute Australia. You can deep dive into screen time study here. She also recommended Children and Media Australia and Common Sense Media.

    The Kids Research Institute has some great free resources on healthy screen time habits and check out Words Grow Minds for some tips for interactive co-viewing and toddlers and touchscreens.

    From the moment they’re conceived, babies’ brains are building the foundations for lifelong learning. But what exactly do they need to grow strong, healthy brains? In this episode, Kate and Amelia dive into developmental neuroscience with Dr Sally Stanton, breaking down the latest research on how babies learn and what we can do to support them.

    Dr Staton is a Senior Research Fellow in the Science of Learning Research Centre at the Queensland Brain Institute at the University of Queensland.
