Guilt is thinking you have done something bad; shame is thinking you are bad.  In this epsiode we discuss the impact that shame can have on fizzy kids, and how we as parents and carers can unintentionally induce a sense of shame in our kids.

Shame is such a powerful emotion and what we say and how we say it to our kids can add shame into our families and households.  Join Ali as she shares ideas and phrases that can help create a SHAME FREE ZONE in your homes.

We are nearing the end of the first season of FizzyKids: The Podcast where we have been sharing our journey to re-learn our parenting language and skills in order to help become the parents our kids need us to be.  Fizzy kids (those taking longer to learn to manage their big feelings or those with hidden disabilities) find it so much harder to express their feelings without displaying big behaviours; but how we talk to our kids has a huge impact on how a family and household can function.

We have spent time in this first season thinking about our language for the Angry Child and Rude Child, and the final episode will cover a Checklist to help re-learn our parenting language.
