When your kid tunes you out - The Realities of Parenthood: Insights from a Parenting Coach and a Working Mum

Does it feel like your child only hears you when they want to? You ask them to put on their shoes, tidy their toys, or come to the table — and they tune you out as if you’re invisible. In this episode, working mum Miranda puts Camilla in the hot seat to ask the tough questions parents everywhere are struggling with.

Camilla explains why kids don’t always listen, why punishment doesn’t actually teach better behaviour, and she shares three simple strategies you can start using right away to get more cooperation without shouting, threats, or guilt. She also tackles that painful moment every parent dreads: “I don’t want you to go to work, mummy.”
