“Calm down!” “How dare you talk to me like that!” 

How do you talk to your kids when they are struggling with their behaviours and big feelings? Join Ali on her quest to transform her parenting language and the way she interacts with her fizzy kids.

Ali Fanshawe from FizzyKids shares wins and woes of parenting emotional, fizzy kids and offers ideas to learn a new parenting language and approach to help kids learn to manage their emotions and big feelings. Discover the importance of what you say to your kids and how you say it, so that you can help regulate your fizzy kid at home, in public and at school. 

As a Special/Additional Needs Mum, Ali confesses that she does not get it right every time. She has developed the FizzyWay of parenting to help her hold on to the kind and respecting part of her personality that she likes most (which also helps to cut down on her gin consumption and means she can go to bed without feeling guilty or ashamed!).
