Does your child climb, crash, wriggle, wrestle, fidget, or push all day long? Do they melt down when you ask them to sit still? Or act like they’re bouncing off the walls from the moment they wake up?
In this episode, we’re diving into proprioception – the hidden sense that helps us know where our body is in space. It’s the one that tells us how hard to push, how gently to hug, and how much force to use when holding a pencil or walking down stairs.
For some kids, the need for proprioceptive input is huge - and when they don’t get enough, it can show up as tricky behaviour, meltdowns, rough play, or what looks like ‘not listening’. We’re unpacking:
What proprioception actually is (in plain English)
How to spot when your child might be seeking it
What behaviour has to do with it and how communication may also be affected
Simple, everyday ways to support your child’s sensory needs
We also chat about how this connects to regulation, focus, and that holy grail: calm.

In this episode, we’re talking all things wees, poos, bums and farts – why kids are obsessed, what’s actually developmentally normal, and when to lean in or set a boundary. We also touch on when toilet humour crosses into sexualised behaviour, and how to tell what’s age-appropriate curiosity versus something that might need more support.
We mention this brilliant resource from STOP that helps parents navigate developmentally typical sexual behaviour:👉 stop.org.nz/tools-to-help

Kids lie—it's a fact of life. But before you start worrying that your little one is on a path to deception, let’s talk about why kids fib in the first place. In this episode, Tess and Zazi break down the developmental reasons behind lying, from imagination-fueled storytelling to fear of getting in trouble.
We’ll chat about how to respond in a way that encourages honesty without creating more lies, how to avoid shame-based reactions, and what to do when your child keeps stretching the truth. Plus, we’ll share practical, respectful strategies that help kids feel safe enough to tell the truth - no guilt trips required.
Whether your child is claiming they definitely didn’t eat the last biscuit (even with crumbs on their face) or telling tall tales about their day, this episode will give you the tools to navigate it with confidence.Check out our patreon for free resources, and DM us if you have a pod ep idea!
