Ep 41) Parenting: A never ending story... with the Two Natural Ladies

<p><strong>Parenting: A never ending story</strong></p> <p>Two Natural Ladies discuss how children are yours for life – just like a puppy.</p> <p>Vicki and Jo have both done a number of personal development courses which have helped in their parenting. &nbsp;They talk about one course in particular that influenced them both greatly - P.E.T. (Parent Effectiveness Training) which began over 45 years ago as the first national parent-training program to teach parents how to communicate more effectively with kids and offer step-by-step advice to resolving family conflict so everybody wins.</p> <p>It was and still is a ground-breaking program.</p> <p>This course gives parents step by step advice. Active listening! Whose problem is it? Pick your battles.</p> <p>A compassionate program that helps us all communicate more effectively</p> <p><strong>A no-win scenario being a working mum or staying home.</strong></p> <p>Vicki starts a conversation around the dilemma of mums working or not working – the no win scenarios.</p> <p>TV was discussed extensively. Jo limited the amount her kids were able to watch, Vicki often found the TV on while kids were elsewhere. Vicki’s kids remember going away a lot as their grandparents lived hours away. Jo reminisces about the ‘special day’ her boys had with her – each term each child had a special day off to do whatever they wanted with their mum.</p> <p>Vicki spent hours cooking with her kids, who are now in hospitality and have great independent living skills.</p> <p>This is a great podcast for all parents - a real reflection into the world raising children.</p> <p>*********************</p> <p>For more information about the Two Natural Ladies visit&nbsp;<a href="//">https://www.twonaturalladies.com.au/</a></p> <p>Or follow the Two Natural Ladies on Facebook or Instagram @twonaturalladies</p> <p><a href="//">https://www.facebook.com/twonaturalladies </a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="//">https://www.instagram.com/twonaturalladies/</a></p> <p>Or to find out more about what we do join our group at <a
