185 - Body Exploration with Rebecca Koon Aug 12, 2021

Show notes

Hello villagers! Welcome back to the podcast, on today's episode I got to chat with Rebecca Koon who you might know from her wonderful instagram, @Everybody.Talks and we got to talk all about body exploration and what to expect from the tiny humans. We go into what is "normal" age appropriate behavior, how to handle the feelings that might come up for us around all this, and Rebecca shares two basic safety rules that every kid should know.

Chatting with Rebecca was so wonderful in part because her approach is so open and shame free, which is so different from how many of us grew up learning about this topic.

184 - When to discuss the behavior Aug 05, 2021

Show notes

Welcome back villagers! This week on the podcast we are talking about the importance of timing, when to talk about the behavior. So often we have this inclination to step in and talk about it right then because we have these underlying fears that if we don't, we are sending the message that the behavior is okay, or that we are encouraging it. But the reality is that waiting to talk about it can have huge benefits in the short term and the long term for both you and your kiddo. Tune in to this episode to learn more about when we should be talking about these behaviors with our kids!

Welcome back to Voices of Your Village! We get so many questions about how to do this work with our youngest kiddos.

This is possible to start day one. Join us today for tips on how to get started however old your kiddo is!
