EP 38 - Jacci Jones - Ages & Stages : Understanding Your Child’s Development
12/01/20 • 49 min
In this episode we are talking about the developmental stages that our children go through on their path towards adulthood; and why the teenage years can often be so turbulent.
Invariably when we are dealing with teenagers we find ourselves being ‘triggered’ by their behavior - and Jacci explains why this is more to do with the parent rather than the child!
Jacci discusses - what she calls - “Middle of the Road Parenting” and why it’s necessary to not expect too much from ourselves or our children. ~~~~~
Jacci is a psychotherapist and coach who specializes in helping families, parents, and individuals better understand how their thoughts impact their reality. She has over 30 years of experience in working with children and families, her career started as a nursery nurse working in both mainstream and EBD schools. In 2004 Jacci began a fostering career that lasted 13 years. Fostering mainly teenagers with complex needs prompted her to go on to train in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy. More recently Jacci has included coaching using ‘The 3 Principles’ in her private practice based in Coppull, Lancashire.
Jacci offers support through her Parent-Plus page on Facebook as well as having a podcast all-around mental health called Living Life Being Human.
Jacci is a mum of three, her eldest son is now 33, her daughter is 31 and her youngest is 16, she also has an amazing boisterous two and a half-year-old grandson who teaches her something new every day.

EP 37 - Clare Ford - Model the Behaviour You Want to See
In this episode, we are talking about how many parents are struggling with the changes we are seeing in our children’s education.
Whilst there is still a “preferred path” proposed by our education system ... more and more parents are finding that this model might not be best supporting their child’s temperaments, interests, and needs.
Is the educations system fit for purpose?
And if not - how can our parents support our children better?
We talk about modeling the “right” behavior - because let’s face it - our kids learn through observation rather than being preached at! And we discuss the importance of values and helping our kids understand what makes them tick.

EP 39 - Dealing With the ‘Mean Girls’
This is a topic close to my heart.
Many teen girls I speak with are struggling with unkindness from their peers - from their friends. Funnily enough, they don’t call it bullying - and yet that’s exactly what it is.
Bullying is all about exerting control over someone and making them feel crap.
In this episode, I explain why we have this unkindness - especially amongst teen girls - and what we can do about it.
I was bullied as a child - and as an adult. In ALL instances - the bullies were my friends - they were the ‘Mean Girls’.
I also know first hand what it’s like when your daughter is also being bullied.
So you see, I get it.
And I want to help you understand the mechanics of the Queen Bee’s Clique and how you can rise above her unkindness and her control and break free of this manipulation.
