This is a FAQ post. These are the most popular answers to a real question asked on The Imperfect Mum. I’m needing advise on how to stop my 3.5 year old from swearing! She constantly swears when angry/frustrated or when she simply doesn’t get what she wants. I admit I’m guilty of dropping the F bomb on occasion. How do I make her understand these words are not appropriate or acceptable? Emma: We’...

After reading a post a while ago on The Imperfect Mum fb page , alarm bells started ringing and the similarities between the behavioural problems described in the post of the 4yo boy eerily mirror what my son has/is going through, so I would like to share my family’s story. (By no means am I saying that this is the problem of that IM’s child, but I just want to emphasise why this kind of...

Remember the story from earlier on in the week, The story of a Mum being helped by another Mum (Kate) to support her son while he had an epileptic fit. Yes? Well please meet Teagan, Teagan is cooper’s Mum. Cooper is the little man that has epilepsy. *Make sure you have your tissues. This is an inspirational, yet hard hitting read. Message from Teagan: There’s such a horrible stigma around...

Meet your fellow Sista - Kristin Wall, Kristin also wrote this post on Monday. Kristen and I have become quite good friends, I think she’s a hoot! - You will too. I’m a Melbourne girl, only child to an AMAZING mum who did it solo. Back when I was in Primary School (1980) I was the only child from a ‘divorced’ situation, seems strange looking back on that era compared to now! Mum & I are very...

Our children are our number one priority and we all strive to be the best possible mentor to them. But let’s face it – we cannot do it alone. I like to think of the village approach - each person in your child’s life has something important to contribute towards their future. Building and maintaining strong positive relationships with the key figures in yourchild’s life can enhance and strengthen...

This is not a fluffy post, teaching your kids about their inner voice could save their life. Whether you call it god, your intuition, your higher self, your gut.. Do you listen? Do you take head? I remember watching at T.V program in which a man was talking about intuition/gut. Can’t remember his name. He was saying that humans, are the only animals on the planet; that don’t listen to their gut...

I attended a parent / teacher information last night. And to be honest really didn’t feel like going. After picking the kids up and getting home the last thing I felt like doing was taking myself back there. But I did and I’m happy about it. Look I’m going to cut to the chase. Working in an educational business I am mostly impressed by the amount of parents that come in looking for resources to...

Really??… Really.. I think it’s nasty that you don’t. This is a post written by a fellow Imperfect Mum. Who has 3 children, one with Aspergers one with ADHD. I find it really alarming the amount of parents who struggle with their child being completely out of hand. It’s your first child and you love them so much that you can’t bring yourself to “be nasty” to them and that’s awesome. However, it’s...

My nephew is at work with us today so I grabbed this educational computer game out. It’s called Targeting Maths. The main educational consultant in the shop raves about it. Her words: “You don’t get any feedback on ordinary products, but this is one product parents rave about and come back to purchase every level as they need it. The best part is, it’s only 20 bucks” You can buy it here It cove...

Planning with Kids is one of the best “parenting” books I have read. Big call I know – but true. I’m a bit of a go-with-the-flow Mum, which in some cases has its advantages, but sometimes it’s not so good. This was my first year with a child at school, so I seriously needed to look at our household routines, or lack thereof. After seeing Nicole Avery being interviewed on The Circle I ordered this...
