Pregnancy and childbirth can often make a women's pelvic muscles very loose, and this can cause incontinence. Incontinence refers to having little to no control over your bladder. Many women often feel embarrassed by this condition, but it's a lot more common than you might expect. 

On the show today we have special guest Emily Davies - a physiotherapist specialising in all things pelvic floor related. If anything mentioned above is familiar to you, then keep listening. This interview will cover all of that and more.

05/02/19 • 26 min

We all aspire to be the best parents we can be, and hope to improve upon the mistakes that our own parents made. But sometimes we say or do something as parents, and we can't help but wonder if it's attributed to the way we were brought up. Neuroscience Expert Shelley Evans Wild will help us understand the methodology behind parenting.

The PakMag Parents Podcast - Episode 84 - Harmful vs Nurturing Communication with Your Child
play

12/17/20 • 24 min

Your words become the inner dialogue that your children will use to describe themselves and their world. Are you a champion, compassionate, critical, harsh, or apathetic? All these styles of communication will colour the relationship you form with your child and ultimately the relationship they have with themselves.

On this episode Bree chats to the lovely Julia Nowland about the importance of the relationship between you and your child and the effects harmful or nurturing communication have upon them.

The PakMag Parents Podcast - Episode 105 - Raising an Inclusive Child
play

08/06/21 • 14 min

Diversity is a fact of life, however teaching children about differences can feel tricky. As adults we can be a little unsure if we’re sending the right message or how to start that conversation, and that puts us off from going there in the first place. However it’s essential for us as parents to teach our children about diversity and inclusion through both conversations and actions.

In this episode Bree chats toJulia Nowland as she explains to us how we can help our children understand the value of inclusivity and to accept those around them for who they are.

The PakMag Parents Podcast - Episode 47 - Turn that "yuck" into "yum!"
play

12/05/19 • 17 min

How many times have you lovingly prepared a meal for your family, only for you to place it in front of your child and be met with comments like “yuck” or “not this again” or “I hate this” ? It can be pretty disheartening, even if we know not to take it to heart. In fact, a third (31%) of Aussie parents get their feelings hurt thanks to these brutally honest responses.

Today’s guest is here to help you turn that “yuck” into a “yum”. This school lunch box creator has years of experience and is here to share his knowledge. Please welcome George Georgievski!

10/31/19 • 26 min

We’ve all felt it at times. Your heart starts to beat fast, your palms get sweaty and you feel restless. It’s called anxiety, and can be brought up by new situations and challenging tasks, especially in children. Some level of anxiety is a normal part of life and growing up – but when does it become a problem?

Childhood anxiety is very real, and often presents itself differently in children than it does in adults. Today, we’ll explore this topic with Karen Young, a psychologist and author who is passionate about engaging with others on a wide range of topics, including anxiety.
