When Grandma comes to visit for the holidays, does she expect a hug and a kiss? When your cool aunt gives you a gift after not seeing you for a long time, does she expect a smooch on the cheek as thanks? These things seem innocent enough, and if your child wants to do it, it is. But what happens when your child doesn’t want to show that much affection to a person? Do we force them and risk sending the wrong message? Or do we hurt the feelings of the adults in our child’s life by allowing our children to make that choice and say no?

Everything we do either builds or destroys trust with the people around us. Nothing could be more true of the relationship we have with our children. They see us every day, monitor our behaviours, and then model them in hopes to be just like us one day. Until we break their trust.

The holidays can be a very hectic time of year, and one that you may want to enjoy with family and friends rather than working on your business. While that may be tempting at first, if you put it into perspective, taking too much time off this time of year can actually work against you rather than for you!

Starting a business from home can seem like a good idea and an overwhelming experience all at once.

What happens when your child encounters someone who is different from them? Do they ask embarrassing or potentially hurtful questions? Do you usher them away as quickly as you can to explain why that wasn’t the right thing to do? For a moment, what if we entertained the idea that perhaps allowing your child to ask questions and interact with people who are different than them could create learning opportunities beyond what we can give them? Asking that man why he lost his leg, or asking that woman why she’s so short may not be so bad. Think about it, most of these people have been dealing with these adversities for most of their life, and an inquisitive child is unlikely to hurt their feelings, but the experience of learning from and getting to know someone new could have a huge impact on the eleven of acceptance and tolerance your child has toward others!   In This Episode They’re not being prejudice, they are being curious Embracing teachable moments Explaining the cause and asking questions Being a positi

A lot of moms face the decision of going back to work or staying at home with the kids. While staying home has rewards of its own, a lot of moms get down on themselves and feel less accomplished as a result. But what about going back to work? Some moms get a lot of guilt from family and peer groups about going back to work, but there are benefits to getting back out there. You get to connect with people, and that means more opportunities to laugh, tell stories and learn new things. It also makes you feel good. Accomplishing things is always fun and rewarding, and getting back to work can be really good for the soul. But what if you could have the best of both worlds? Running a work from home business could be the answer you are looking for. You control your own schedule, so you’ll always have involvement in the important moments like first words and learning to walk. You’ll also be the master of your own identity. You get to decide what your life is going to be all about! Not to mention the Increased financia

It sounds nuts, but does your child really need gifts at their birthday? Let’s really think about this: They already have tons of toys, they’ll likely not play with these for long, and it’s hard for guests to figure out what to get.   What if there’s a better way? What if your child’s birthday could be an opportunity to do something amazing?  Tune into this episode of the Kids Party Characters Podcast to find out how.   In This Episode How many gifts does Jonny get each year?
