 I spent an entire school term working as a counsellor at a primary school. 19 kids on my roster. And what I learned sitting with them changed how I think about what parents need to know right now. In this episode I break down the 3 biggest things I saw coming up over and over again: screen time and what it is really doing why so many kids have stopped talking to their parents and why what your child is doing online is not as safe as you think. I share what worked in my sessions, what I heard from parents and teachers, and how this experience has shaped what I want to do next. If you are a parent doing your best and still feeling like something is off with your kid, this episode is for you. 📚 Books referenced in this episode: → The Conscious Parent by Dr. Shefali Tsabary → Loving What Is by Byron Katie → No Bad Parts by Richard Schwartz Chapters 00:00:00 Three Things Parents Need to Know: Opening Insights from School Counseling 00:01:07 Welcome to the Confidence Chronicles and Episode 500 Celebration 00:02:58 Going Back to School: My Journey to a Bachelor's in Psychotherapy 00:05:30 Slowing Down to Speed Up: Structure and Systems in Business 00:07:15 Choosing the School: From Prison Work to Primary School Counseling 00:08:24 19 Kids and a Rotating Door: The Reality of School Counseling 00:10:35 Lesson One: Screen Time Is Destroying Our Kids and We Don't Know How to Stop It 00:11:55 The Vertical Video Slot Machine: Why Your Kids Need Phone Boundaries Now 00:13:58 Lesson Two: Communication Breakdown and Why Your Kid Won't Talk to You 00:15:19 The Family Meeting Rock: Creating a Culture of Communication at Home 00:16:42 Teaching Kids About Their Bodies and Strange Behavior 00:18:19 We're Not Really Strangers: Games That Build Family Connection 00:19:30 Lesson Three: Online Safety and the Roblox Problem Parents Don't See 00:23:01 Australia's Shocking Child Safety Statistics and Internet Dangers 00:23:58 Setting Boundaries: Being the Mom Who Checks the Chat 00:24:30 The 16-Year-Old Social Media Ban: Why Laws Won't Protect Your Kids 00:25:09 Teaching Life Skills: Mindset, Communication, and Emotional Intelligence 00:25:39 The Power of Just Being There: Why One Safe Adult Changes Everything 00:26:00 Abandonment Issues and Guilt: Processing My Own Childhood Wounds 00:26:38 How Kids Actually Want to Talk: Toys, Games, and Shoulder-to-Shoulder 00:27:31 Girls, Confidence, and Body Image: The Struggles No One Talks About 00:28:15 The Demand Is Overwhelming: Why Every School Needs a Permanent Counselor 00:28:36 High-Need Kids and Triage: Understanding Why Some Children Are Prioritized 00:29:06 From Prison Dreams to Kid Calling: Why This Placement Wasn't a Mistake 00:29:31 The Last Day Tears: Parents, Teachers, and Kids Saying Thank You 00:29:58 Did I Do Enough?
