Being Real Parents - Supporting our kids to be inclusive of others with Holly Griffin from In Common( 0:22:24)
Episode Information
In Common is an initiative supporting us to be inclusive of others whose cultures are different to our own. Sometimes we can find it tricky to reach out and start a kōrero and actively look for our in-commons, and worry that our kids won't invite others into their games and fun because of differences. But actually our kids are pretty cool, and only want to be friends with everyone! Holly and Kate talk all this through, and more.

Being Real Parents - Managing our own big emotions( 0:24:24)
Episode Information
This week Kate and Anna talk about how we often look to support our kid's big emotions but don't look too closely at our own! Or we feel really guilty and ashamed at the times (or all the times) we lose our cool, but feel paralysed to do anything about it, or think it's unfixable. Well, here's the podcast you need to reflect and address what might be going on, and the good news is that it's guilt-free, as Anna and Kate disclose their less than perfect moments too!

Being Real Parents - 'Ignoring' as an effective strategy to support positive behaviour( 0:22:20)
Episode Information
Kate and Anna talk about another of their pet peeves - how badly 'ignoring' is used ineffectively, and without much care about the wellbeing of kids. The world is confusing enough for them without parents suddenly behaving in ways they're completely unfamiliar with. In this episode Anna dan Kate talk you through how to get this technique right, and in all instances, respectful.
