Bucket Emptying: Parenting in Public

Children should be seen and not heard. Do you agree? We’ve all heard that expression, and we were all probably told this by our own parents! But I have noticed more and more examples of adult only areas of public spaces - on trains or in shopping malls - so I wanted to tackle this head on. For the record, I don’t agree with that saying, and in this episode I am going to share five reasons why it is better for us and our children when we encourage and support them to be included. So pour yourself a cuppa, find a comfy seat, and enjoy the conversation… Highlights from this episode: 01:26 - Seen but not heard 03:17 - Learning on the job 08:52 - Plan A, B, and C 14:16 - Focus on what you CAN control 💚 Please share with at least one friend, and let’s build our village together 💚 For all previous episodes, and to submit episode topics you want me to talk about, visit 💚 For the free resource library, visit 💚 Join our campaign One Million Moments to reduce the number of children struggling with mental health challenges from 17% to 10% by 2025 💚 Brands and advertisers, email contact@drmaryhan.com DISCLAIMER: The content in the podcast is not intended to constitute or be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
