00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:31,000

42
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 3: haven't got my glasses on. They're over on the other table,

43
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 3: So can you please tell us who won and why?

44
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 3: With their little winds and their little ones.

45
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 2: Well, let's just say her name is Stephanie, because I'm

46
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: not even going to try and say that last name,

47
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: and I don't want to get it wrong. But she said,

48
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: mister six was really excited this morning to go and

49
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 2: try out a home school chess club for the first time,

50
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 2: but he was also feeling really nervous about it, and

51
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: I could see that he was pretty close to a

52
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: big emotional outburst. I was frantically trying to think what

53
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 2: to do so he wouldn't melt down and would be

54
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: able to enjoy the experience. And then I remembered last

55
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 2: week's Lighten the Load, So I'll.

56
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 3: Just jump in here really quickly. Lighten the Load is

57
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 3: our weekly newsletter that all Happy Families members received that

58
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 3: gives people great ideas on how to make their family happier.

59
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 3: And it sounds like I did that for Stephanie. So

60
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 3: what happened when she remembered last week's light in the

61
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 3: Load newsletter?

62
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 2: After five things, he could see he was visibly calmer,

63
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 2: and after things he could feel he was smiling again.

64
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: The instructor started at that point and my son had

65
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 2: a great time. There were a couple of little emotional

66
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 2: overflows at other points, but I was really proud of

67
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: how well he was able to calm himself down with

68
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: some assistance from me. Plenty of other times this would

69
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 2: have ended with us needing to leave early because it

70
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 2: was just too overwhelming in a new place with lots

71
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 2: of new people. Such a win for him and me.

72
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 2: Thanks for that little email tip reminder.

73
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 3: So for those who have missed the whole five things

74
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 3: he could see, four things he could feel. When your

75
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 3: kids started to get a little bit emotional, before it

76
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 3: gets all too much, we get them to focus on

77
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 3: their senses, to really ground themselves, to be present right here,

78
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,119
Speaker 3: right now, with five things they can see, four things

79
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 3: that they can feel, three things that they can hear,

80
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 3: two things that they can smell, and one thing that

81
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 3: they can taste.

82
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 4: Emily tried to take you through that the other night,

83
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 4: didn't you? In bed?

84
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 3: Our seven year old came and jumped in a bed

85
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 3: and said, Daddy, Daddy, daddy, what's five things you can smell?

86
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 3: And I knew straight to what she was doing, Like, No, No,

87
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 3: you mean five things that I can see?

88
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, So what's four things you can smell? No,

89
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 4: not smell?

90
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 5: What can I feel? What's three things you can smell? No,

91
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 5: we've got to do here next. And what about two

92
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 5: things are yeah, we can do, two things we can smell.

93
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 5: That was a lot of fun.

94
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 3: So congratulations Stephanie, thanks for jumping in and chiming in

95
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 3: with little wins Wednesday, your little wins with your little ones.

96
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 3: We're going to take a break from that over the holidays,

97
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 3: but I'm sure that we'll resurrected again in term three

98
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 3: so that we can celebrate the little wins that you

99
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 3: have with your little ones.

100
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 5: Now, Kylie, who's going to go first? You or me?

101
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 3: When it comes to I'll do better tomorrow and a

102
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 3: quick analysis of either what worked or what didn't and

103
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 3: how it can be more intentional tomorrow without our parent

104
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 3: child relationships.

105
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 4: Well, I had a really cool win this week, so

106
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 4: did I?

107
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 5: For you go first, ladies before gentlemen.

108
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: A few weeks ago, I shared that miss Emily has

109
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 2: been taking me through a completely different nighttime routine. Instead

110
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 2: of me talking about all of these cutesy little stories

111
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 2: that I have loved reading to my children for the

112
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 2: last nearly twenty years, I have now turned to information

113
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 2: books and she has pulled out every stop. I'm reading

114
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 2: about dinosaurs and dragons and ants and bees and habitats

115
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 2: and environments, and she has just loved it.

116
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 3: She's fallen in love with dragons, like crazy about dragons

117
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 3: and it reminded me of this old song that my

118
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 3: parents raised me on from Anne Murray.

119
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 5: I don't know if you remembered this one. I hope

120
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 5: you do.

121
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 4: Daddy. There's drag in the drag way.

122
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, Mama, there's grisly. Did you grow up with

123
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 5: any of this?

124
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 4: I did not. You introduced all of these to me

125
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 4: when we had kids. But we get some real volume

126
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 4: when this one goes on in the car.

127
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 3: So we grew up with this and my parents used

128
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 3: to play it all the time. And every time Emily

129
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 3: starts talking about the dragons, I just think of hey,

130
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 3: daddy by Anne Murray, this dragon in the driveway, this

131
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 3: hippo in the bathtub. Anyway, so you've been obviously spending

132
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 3: some time with our baby girl around this.

133
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 2: I have, and one of the things that I love

134
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 2: doing is a bedroom makeover. Recently, Emily has made it

135
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 2: very very clear that the pink Doner cover that she

136
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 2: has and the flamingos that are all over her walls,

137
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 2: which she painted.

138
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 4: I might add, are no longer what she would like

139
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 4: to be looking at every day. She just wants to

140
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 4: see dinosaurs.

141
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 5: That reminds me.

142
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 3: I love that classic ad. Do you remember the ad

143
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 3: for the Natural Confectionery. The kids used to scream this

144
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 3: at the top of their lungs every time we'd bring

145
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 3: the lawis out and pulled the dinosaur out, and then

146
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 3: there'd be.

147
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 5: Quick game chumping dis daddy, don't chump.

148
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 3: The daddy, don't chump the dinosaur daddy.

149
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 2: So anyway, she wants dinosaurs and I rang you and

150
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 2: I actually said, Emily's been asking for a dinosaur room.

151
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 4: I think I'm going to do it. What did you say?

152
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 3: I said, Well, you know what, it's really hard for

153
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 3: me to admit this, but I said really, because she's

154
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 3: my little girl, and I'm so used to all of

155
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 3: our girls having these girly rooms, and now we're going

156
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 3: to have this dinosaur room.

157
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 5: Now.

158
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: I know that.

159
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 3: I know, theoretically, at every level, that's fine, that's wonderful,

160
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,119
Speaker 3: but she's hanging out with all these boys at school

161
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 3: and she's into dragons and dinosaurs, and it's so unfamiliar

162
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 3: to me.

163
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 4: Well, We've had six girls, I've never had to do

164
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 4: a dinosaur.

165
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 5: Room ever, and it kind of did my head in.

166
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 5: I really love it, but at the same time, I'm like, wow,

167
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 5: what is going on here?

168
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 4: Well, I needed some retail therapy.

169
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 5: Nowdays, now that I've got my head around it, go

170
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 5: for your life.

171
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:26,559
Speaker 4: I needed some retail therapy.

172
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 5: It's been a hard, hard week.

173
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 2: We're really missing Benson, and so I just thought, you

174
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 2: know what, I'm just going to go and do it.

175
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 2: So I went out and I started O I Care

176
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 2: because they've got some gorgeous plush dinosaurs, and I thought

177
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 2: that's a great place to start.

178
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 4: So I ended up getting these dinosaurs.

179
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 2: And I got fake trees, and we had some cut

180
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 2: logs in the backyard and I pulled them in with

181
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 2: some rocks, and she is in heaven.

182
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 3: This room looks like it's a dinosaur fantasy. It's so good,

183
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 3: and this is this is your incredible ability.

184
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 4: I did have to steal our fake plants, big yeah.

185
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. We no longer have fake plants anywhere in the house.

186
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 3: They're all just crowding the jungle that has become Emily's room.

187
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 3: So your take home message around this I'll do better

188
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 3: tomorrow concept is we've got to let.

189
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 2: Go of our own agendas. I loved the Flamingo room.

190
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: It was really hard for me to take it all down.

191
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 2: But the reality is it's not her thing, and dinosaurs

192
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 2: are the thing that light her up at the moment,

193
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 2: and she just from the moment we started putting it

194
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 2: all together, I couldn't get her out of there. She

195
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 2: just was engrossed and engaged. And there's nothing that I

196
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 2: love more than seeing my children engaged in their play.

197
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 3: We'll pop a photo of the bedroom up so that

198
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 3: everyone can see it on Facebook and find out what

199
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 3: you've done to be creative in your kids' bedrooms. Next,

Speaker 2: poor parent who just wants answers now and today we've

210
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 2: been sharing our insights of our week.

211
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 5: And the things that we've learned or made mistakes around

212
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 5: yeah or done well.

213
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 4: Where you teased us you said you did well this week.

214
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 5: So I did.

215
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 3: In fact, a couple of things have gone well. First up,

216
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 3: last Saturday, we did Better Together. This was a webinar

217
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 3: workshop with fifty couples talking about how to strengthen their relationships,

218
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 3: and the feedback was overwhelmingly amazingly positive. People were saying,

219
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 3: this is just what our relationship needed. We were not

220
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 3: doing so well, and we've had the best weekend, the

221
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 3: best connection, the best conversations we've had in years.

222
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 5: It just it feels so good to.

223
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 3: Make a difference in people's lives, families, relationships. And that

224
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 3: was a real highlight, and it helped us to be

225
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 3: a lot more intentional about our relationship as well, which

226
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 3: was great. But the thing that really did it for

227
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 3: me this week was just one afternoon after school. I've

228
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 3: been working all kinds of hours, doing webinars at night,

229
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 3: working all day, kind of just doing the stuff that

230
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 3: so many parents do, where you're busy working and you

231
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 3: don't get time with the kids. And I just thought,

232
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 3: one afternoon, blow it, I've done enough of this. I

233
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 3: need to see my kids. And so I walked out

234
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 3: the door and.

235
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 5: She said I'm done.

236
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 3: At about three thirty four o'clock one afternoon, took them

237
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 3: to the park, kicked a ball, throw a frisbee, pushed

238
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 3: them on the swings, just the three little ones. It's

239
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 3: so simple, and the word that comes to mind is

240
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 3: it was just heaven.

241
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,599
Speaker 2: I think you had a milkshake. The kids jobbed you in.

242
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 2: Did you have a milkshake? And you didn't bring me

243
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 2: one home?

244
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 3: I don't think that I had one. I think I

245
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 3: bought one for everyone else though. You know what I'm like,

246
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 3: I'm too cheap to buy one for myself or me. Clearly,

247
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 3: I hate spending eight bucks on a drink. It's ridiculous.

248
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 3: And there were three kids with me. You don't how

249
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 3: many milkshakes I could have made it home with twenty

250
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 3: four dollars. That's milkshakes for a month.

251
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 5: Unbelievable. I'll do better tomorrow. I don't know. Is that

252
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 5: a win?

253
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 3: Am I getting it right if I buy the kids milkshakes?

254
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 3: Or is that a bad budgetary decision that just crosses

255
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 3: out all the good that I did by spending time

256
00:10:59,280 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 3: with the kids.

257
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 2: I think getting frustrated that you spend the money is

258
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 2: when you went wrong, right.

259
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 3: I should just gladly hand it over here, have eight

260
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 3: dollars for five hundred milli liters of milk.

261
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 4: Gosht it tastes so good.

262
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 3: Hey, it's school holidays just around the corner for most

263
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 3: states starting this afternoon. That means that you and I

264
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 3: Kylie are going to well, we're going to keep the

265
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 3: podcast going with three minute reminders each morning.

266
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 5: We're going to keep it really short.

267
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,719
Speaker 3: A couple of bonus episodes in the holidays with some

268
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 3: interviews and other good stuff, but we're really going to

269
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 3: just do our best to help everyone to have a

270
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 3: happier family with three minute snippets. We could call it

271
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 3: three minute therapy, just to help people have a happier family.

272
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 3: So that's going to kick off if you talk for

273
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 3: less than three minutes, that's going to kick off from Monday.

274
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 5: I can'pfully you said that. Gosh, do you want to

275
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,360
