In today's Bucket Emptying podcast episode, the focus is on parental guilt. It's a feeling many of us experience almost as soon as our child is handed to us, impacting various aspects of our lives.
To address this challenge, it's crucial to recognise when the guilt arises from a misalignment between our actions as parents and our perceived responsibilities. The first step is to identify and understand this disconnect.
Join me as I explore strategies for managing your parental guilt.

A survey by the NHS found that 29% of six to 10-year-olds had trouble sleeping on three or more nights in the previous week. Problems getting to sleep, waking in the night or waking early were even more common among older children, affecting 38% of 11- to 16-year-olds and the majority โ 57% โ of young people aged 17 to 23.
To me, itโs no wonder we have rising numbers of mental health challenges with sleep data like this!!!

Today's bucket emptying episode is all an amazing breathing technique; Take 10.
You can use this an adult, as well as also teaching it to your kids. I've tried all sorts of breathing techniques, and young people often really struggle with this notion of focusing in on the breath, anchoring themselves in the breath.
Instead of asking them to focus on the breath itself and changing the breath, this strategy asks them to focus on counting their breath which is so much easier in the moment.

This episode was originally released in 2022, but friendships are still one of the biggest challenges our girls have to navigate. It can cause so much upset and make life miserable. So, Amy and Jess wrote a book to help their daughters so they never had to struggle with friendships as they did.
They hope the hard lessons they learned help smooth the road for young girls and help them walk with their heads held high, never doubting who they are, or wondering if they are enough. Whilst the book was written for girls, the lessons and techniques are just as usual for boys.
Here are the highlights:
(02:41) How the book came to be
(05:59) The difference between boys and girls
(10:52) Normalising vulnerability with our children
(17:12) Mom has issues too
(23:59) Someone is either with you or against you
(31:45) Standing on the outside of the circle
(37:15) Friendship shouldnโt be earned
(42:03) Be humble

In today's Bucket Emptying episode, I want to show you a really great bucket emptying tool and strategy for your children that is the glitter jar.
Now, obviously a glitter jar is rather lovely and beautiful and very aesthetic in your home, but it's also a superb way of explaining emotions to children and teens, whether that's big emotions around anger, frustration, annoyance, jealousy, or whether it is around overwhelm, stress and anxiety.
I'd love to see your glitter jars, share your photos to [email protected], and please share this episode with your friends, family and colleagues that need some extra support.

In this week's episode of the Bucket Emptying podcast I tackle a very topical listener question: โShould we ban smart phones??โ
Whilst I have very strong opinions regarding childrenโs use of smartphones, the internet, and social media, I donโt believe that banning them is the solution. Instead, letโs teach our children how to use them safely, which starts with modelling moderation of use of ourselves!
Iโd love to know your thoughts on this topic. Do you know how much screen time you have each week?
