Behavioural Guidance

Tuesday, March 30, 2010

This family had two children and a dog that all ran a-muck.  Everyone was shouting, there was no order and very few boundaries. 

Our family was chaos until we asked a parenting coach from Cradle 2 Kindy to help.  Our coach came in and gave some very specific instructions for each one of us.  Mine was to stop shouting at the children and start giving clear audible instructions with warnings and lots of positive reinforcement instead of negative commands.  Within days things had turned around for the better.  I actually feel I have some control now and more respect from my children who are so much better behaved now that they have boundaries and warnings to adhere to. 

What a difference a parenting coach from Cradle 2 Kindy has made to our family.  It is also reassuring to be able to call our own coach, who knows our particular situation personally, and ask for further advice.  I would recommend a personal parenting coach from Cradle 2 Kindy for any parent who is having behavioural problems with their children.     Vaucluse, NSW

“We felt that our three year old was running the house; pushing the boundaries to the limit including aggressive behaviour and temper tantrums – particularly at bed time. Our parenting coach wanted us to keep her on a tight rein to start with – including no ‘second chances’ just consequences to her actions. We now feel more in control after such appropriate guidance.” Sarah – Balgowlah, NSW

“I called Cradle 2 Kindy because I had difficulty with my fourteen month old throwing tantrums not only at home but in the shopping centre. On one occasion our coach came with me to the shopping centre and gave clear instructions on how to change my daughter’s unruly behaviour. We got a few strange looks in the process but my coach reassured me that my daughter’s behaviour would change if I didn’t pamper to her every demand.” Paula - Bossley Park, NSW

Twin Management

Monday, March 08, 2010

A family with an older child and newborn twins called Cradle 2 Kindy for assistance with routines to fit in with the whole family. 

With the arrival of twin boys and a two year old I felt quite anxious about what our life would involve and how I would manage with my husband away at work for 60 hours each week.  Cradle 2 Kindy found us a parenting coach who helped us get into a four hourly routine with our twin boys that has allowed a smooth transition home from hospital.  I really liked how she helped minimize the transition for my two year old by ensuring the twin’s routines worked around his routine rather than dictating his routine.  Her advice was very practical and suitable.  I would highly recommend Cradle 2 Kindy to any family needing assistance.  Alison - Miranda, NSW

“Our Cradle 2 Kindy coach came to us five days after our twins came home. We thought we were doing OK at the time. We were so wrong! Our coach cut our feeding time down by two thirds, got the boys in a routine that is easy to follow and showed us many new tricks of the trade to help settle and calm them down at bedtime. Our coach has also given us the confidence to put al these skills into practice and she is always a phone call away. Thank you Cradle 2 Kindy”. Katrina - Brighton, Vic
“The standard of care our parenting coach gave was excellent. Our coaches visit and advice for caring for twins was very informative, helpful suggestions were made and all our questions were answered”. - Balmain, NSW

Brit Milah

Wednesday, March 03, 2010

We asked Cradle 2 Kindy for a parenting coach to assist us with our son’s Brit Milah.  Our coach prepared our son and checked everything was ready for the Mohel.  She made us feel more relaxed knowing someone knew what they were doing.  After the ceremony she took care of the baby checking him regularly to see that all was OK allowing us time with our guests.  It was reassuring to know our baby was safe in her care and that guest could visit him without them handling or touching him while he slept.    - Maroubra, NSW

“Cradle 2 Kindy arranged for a parenting coach who helped us on two separate occasions. One was in assisting us and our doctor on the day of our son’s Brit. It was very reassuring and helpful to have our coach’s practical experience on such a stressful procedure. We also had the opportunity to discuss feeding and sleep issues. A few days later I called her to help me through some of these issues. Her sound advice has assisted me in moving forward from what has been a difficult start in breastfeeding.” Nadine – North Bondi, NSW
“Our parenting coach took charge at my twin boys Brit Milah – she did everything that needed to be done and knew the procedures of the Brit Milah. She also gave us some good practical advice. She was amazing and made the day seem so carefree. Thank you Cradle 2 Kindy.” - St Ives, NSW
