Parenting Place

Our dream for Aotearoa is that every whānau thrives, and every child feels deeply loved.

To our friends and family currently affected by the Tsunami warnings on the East Coast of Aotearoa, we love you and we're thinking of you. To stay on top of the latest information make sure you follow NZ Civil Defence.

😭😭😭 I WANTED SQUARES! 😭😭😭

Also known as diet sleep, sleep-light and perhaps most honestly "watching infomercials at 2AM, because it's the first moment you've had to yourself all day."

No-one is full of more false hope, than a parent bringing a chair to the beach... except for maybe a toddler trying to make a break for it as you reach for the sunscreen.

[Parenting Place @parentingplace]

Give yourself a break, unless you have a full time home/child stylist on hand it's completely acceptable that your laundry pile has taken over your house by this point in the school holidays. Embrace it.

☀️😎☀️ Happy New Year! ☀️😎☀️

We've loved being here for you through 2020 and we're really excited about some of the things we've got planned for 2021! But first, we hope you're enjoying some well deserved rest.

[Parenting Place @parentingplace]

Our kids LOVE spending time with us! Whether you can give them a day or an hour - the school holidays is the perfect time to show our kids we love them.

Unfortunately we haven't figured out how they spell BEDTIME, but we'll let you know! 😉

🎅⭐🎄 Merry Christmas! 🎄⭐🎅

What a year it's been. We hope you've had a wonderful day, and that you will be able to take some time out to rest and have fun with your family!

[Parenting Place @parentingplace]

Our top tip for summer (also very useful as the pressure builds on Christmas Day)

"I'm just gonna sit here and take 10 deep breaths, or 20... 100 deep breaths should do it..."

[Parenting Place @parentingplace]

Whether you have a month off at the beach or an afternoon hanging out at home, your kids LOVE spending time with you.

Goodbye cash, it was nice knowing you!

🎄🤨🌲 Hmmmmmmm 🎄🤨🌲

I'm sure didn't leave a gaping hole right in the middle.

[Parenting Place @parentingplace]

Listening to listen, instead of listening to respond is an amazing way of showing our kids and everyone else in our whānau that we love them.

[Parenting Place @parentingplace]

What are your families favourite memories?

[Parenting Place @parentingplace]

You don't have to literally be the loudest, but when we're the most influential voice in our children's lives we know that they'll feel loved, encouraged and ready to take on any voices that aren't so kind.

[Parenting Place @parentingplace]

Whhhhhyyyyyyy!?

[Parenting Place @parentingplace]

When our kids know that we love them unconditionally, they know that even when they're doing something we don't like we'll keep on loving them just the same.
