The Behaviour Mama

In June we welcomed Collyns Rose 🌹 to our busy family. Over the last year I have been taking the time to grow and love on these beautiful humans. I am still actively working with parents, educators, and organizations but have put my socials on the back burner.

If you would like to schedule a call to discuss any behaviour challenges you are experiencing reach out via the link in my bio or send me a message.

The ABCs of behaviour involve:
1️⃣ Setting events and Antecedents,
2️⃣ Behaviour,
3️⃣ And Consequences

The ABC Model is used as a tool that allows us to be better detectives in exploring the clues surrounding our Littles behaviour.

✨Remember, ALL behaviour is communication.✨

When we are trying to figure out what our Littles are trying to say through their behaviour, we can look at the ABCs of Behaviour!

The ABCs are a typical behaviour sequence for ALL behaviour. (1) there are triggers that slowly (setting event) or quickly trigger (antecedent) the (2) behaviour to occur, and (3) there are ‘consequences’ or things that we do after the behaviour to make the behaviour more likely to happen again in the future.

Reminder: *Consequence is NOT a negative word - it is only referring to what is happening after the behaviour. (CONSEQUENCE ≠ PUNISHMENT)

If you feel yourself losing it during a challenging moment with your Littles…
Stop 🛑. Take a Breath 🫁. Reset 🔁.
It is never too late to try again.
"Last night, during our bedtime routine I felt like we all lost it a bit. So I remembered, just because we're having a tough moment right now, does not mean that the rest of our night has to be challenging."
I stopped, took a breath, and we reset.
I Increased our Connection & Playfulness to shift the energy, and we had a great rest of the night with more cooperation and fun!
Sometimes when a moment feels challenging, it feels like it’s never going to end.
✨Something important to remember is that we are always in control of our own emotions. Awareness is the key 🔑!! Our Littles emotional regulation is directly impacted by our own emotional regulation. So, if we can stop, take a breath, and reset, often we can help our Littles to do the same!✨

How much does your Little help or do things independently?

When our Littles help or can do "everyday things" independently...we are likely to see less challenging behaviour and big feelings over time!

I know many of you saw my IG Story about our recent Pregnancy Loss. I had so many people reach out, and continue to reach out to share their own stories of loss, as well as holding space for me, and sending love. You have no idea how much it all has meant to me, and truly has made me feel less alone. So, I hope me sharing my story has maybe made at least one other person feel less alone too.

In keeping with the theme that this needs to be talked about MORE, I don’t want to just share about my Pregnancy Loss journey once, and then put silence to it. But, I also am cognizant that many people joining me in this space are not necessarily here for that info - and that is fair!

SO, throughout my journey with trying to conceive, pregnancy, postpartum, pregnancy loss, etc. I have become literally obsessed with this world. In the last year I have made it a priority to follow my heart, and my heart is telling me I need to open some more doors.

I am still very much in the behaviour world, and will be going FULL FORCE with The Behaviour Mama. But, I am also exploring what it might mean for me to join another community as well.

My hope is to continue to educate myself and become certified as a Doula, specializing in Pregnancy Loss, Pregnancy After Loss, and Parenting After Loss. If there is one thing I have learned in all of this, is that there is not enough professional support when it comes to pregnancy loss and pregnancy after loss, so my hope is I can be that support for others on this lonely journey. I also have a special place in my heart for Home Births as my two earth side babes were born at home, so that will definitely hold a space in my Doula Specialization as well.

I will share more as I think of a name for myself (any ideas let me know lol) and dive further into this world, but know that I am still here to chat about all things birth, postpartum, pregnancy loss, pregnancy after loss, and parenting after loss. These are heavy things and we should absolutely never have to go through it alone.
