  Speaker 2: Yes, so last night, you've got it. I can't tell.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: I'll set it up, but you've got to tell the story.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I just don't feel like it's appropriate that I tell
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: this story. I can't believe. Have you checked with our
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: daughter that we're going to tell the story?
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: You can't say that, because no, I haven't. All right?
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Sorry, So last night we are laying in bed like
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: because I get up so early. It's like, what eight
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: forty five, and I'm so close to sleep, and there's
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: a knock on the door from one of our daughters
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: who we won't name any names.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: She's raised home from work and she's in a panic stage.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: She's come home from work. Now everyone's going to know
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: who it is. Gosh, anyway, so she's in a panic
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: state and she's woken as both up or woken me up.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you were awake or not, but
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: I'm kind of like in La La land.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: She's like, mom, Mom, she said, I think I have
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: breast cancer.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Now, now we want to be really clear. We understand
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: that breast cancer is not a laughing matter, but we're
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: talking about a kid who's still in her teens, and
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: she's she's just absolutely terrified. I think I have breast
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Can I think I have breast cancer? And she says
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: it like four or five times. I'm sure I've got.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: I've got a lump. Can you feel it? So, and
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: I've kind of opened my eyes. I'm really groggy, and
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: I've looked at her. Gun just go to bed, It's okay.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: She's like, no, no, no, you have to feel it. She said,
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: I found a lump. She was really really pound action.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: So I gently tried to do an examination. She's like, no, no,
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: you have to hold it hard.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, I'm just going to keep my eyes
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: closed facing the wall. I'm not even going to look.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: Her whole breast is a lump.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: She was. She was fully closed, I meaning there was
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: nothing inappropriate or weird going on, except the fact that
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: we've got this early to mid teenage girl who's convinced
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: she's got breast cancer because she's got a lump in
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: her because her.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Breast is a lump. That's what it was. Her entire
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: breast is a lump.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Because she's a teenager. She's just a young kid.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: And what happened?
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: And I think I got it.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: I told her, I said, I said, you are completely normal,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: everything's intact.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: And she went really and I said yes, and biggest
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: smile on her face and she skipped out of the
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: bed room. Thanks mum.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: That was that have saved my life. Anyway, this week
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: has been there's been a big week on the podcast
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: as well as in our bedroom. It's always an adventure,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: isn't it. With kids? You never know what's you never
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: know what's going to happen next. This week on the podcast,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: we've been talking about the challenges of dealing with lockdown.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Our daughters aren't even in lockdown and we're getting these
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: kinds of episodes. Can you imagine what they'd be like
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: if we're going through our tenth lockdown? Like Victoria.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: Oh, I'm telling you, there would be so much material.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Our kids have our kids have learned that everything, everything
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: is material for the podcast. So on Monday, we had
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: a very important conversation about the lack of mental health
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: help that's available, and we spent some time talking about
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: different things that parents can do to boost well being
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: when well being is really suffering as a result of
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: the fact that oh gosh, you can't get into doctors
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: and sorry, you can get into doctors, but you can't
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: get into psychologists very easily and to get good psychological help.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: And we just want to emphasize again if you need help,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: go get it. But if you don't, having listened to
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Monday's podcast, it will help you to just get clear
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: on the basic stuff that you need to practice. And
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: of course there's things like Kids' Help Line, parent Line
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Lifeline that can be useful.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: I think the reality is so often we start to
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: feel ourselves spiral what we don't take the steps to
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: help keep ourselves afloat. Yeah, and with the time lag
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: and being able to get into specialists, it can be
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: more important than ever that we take those productive steps
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: to help ourselves.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Just got to create the habit and stick with the
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: habit and lockdown, it seems like it's really interesting. In
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: some ways, lockdown it's harder to create the habit and
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: stick with it, and yet in other ways, it should
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: be easier during lockdown than any other time because you
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: know where you're going to be and what you're going
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: to be doing every single day, which is I'm going
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: to be at home.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: I don't even have to get out of my pajamas.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: That's a big thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, But we hope
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: that was useful.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: On Tuesday, we tried to answer Carol's question, Oh, come on,
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: we did an amazing you did.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: You did a great job. I've got I've still got
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: my list in front of me of all the things
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: we were going to talk about, I scratched them out. Well,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: I've unscratched it because I needed the piece of paper
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: for everything else. You did a great job answering that question,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: so much for me being the expert.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: We talked about sibling rivalry and how we can manage that,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: especially during COVID, But.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: You don't have to be in a lockdown to be
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: dealing with sibling rivalry. And I think that the stuff
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: we talked about was really really valuable. So if sibling
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: rivalry is a challenge. We just want to point you
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: to that.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: And then on Wednesday we spoke with Professor Lee Waters.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Lee has written a very influential recent scientific paper about
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: all the different scientifically and epirically validated ways that we
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: can keep our well being up, especially during stressful times
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: like a global pandemic. And that was a really, really
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: great conversation. We hope that you enjoyed that one.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: But my favorite Thursday was Thursday why do you like that?
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: Well? I love being at the front line.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: I love hearing other voices and just hearing of their
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: experiences and their wisdom.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I liked it the most because it was real,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: like this, this is are we not real? No, Well,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: we're in Brisbane, so we're not living the lockdown life
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: in the same way that we have been through it.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: But we haven't been through it for the length of
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: time the duration that New South Wales and Victoria and
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: the Act have. I mean, this is this is unprecedented.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: This is absolutely so and it's so unnatural. It's so hard.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: So hearing what parents are going through was I just
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: think so valuable. So if you are in lockdown, we
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: hope that this has been a useful week of podcast
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: content for you. If you're not, we're still pretty confident
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: that what we've shared it would be useful to help
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: your family to be happier. Up next, we're going to
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: unpick our week with Old Do Better Tomorrow, where we
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: look at how we can reflect and be more intentional
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: as parents in the week ahead.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: It's their Happy Families podcast.
• 7:10

  Speaker 3: It's the Happy Families podcast, the podcast for the time
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: poor parent who just wants answers now And we're finally
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: getting to Better Tomorrow.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: So normly on a Friday, the whole episode is all
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: about the ups and downs of calson family life and
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: the lessons that we can learn so that we can
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: be more intentional as parents. Every now and again, we'll
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: get some feedback. People will be like, I'll do better tomorrow.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: What are you just telling us stories Like no, no, no.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: The stories are there to serve a purpose that is
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: to help us as parents across the board, to be
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: more intentional with the way that we engage with our
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: children and I think that we've got a couple of
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: great stories to help us with that today, and none
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: of them involve breast examinations of children who are convinced
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: that they have breast cancer even though their teenagers and
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: are perfectly healthy.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: So what's your I'll do about it tomorrow.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: So I'm going to share two stories, and they'll be
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: really quick. I promised you. If you could only see
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Kylie's face right now, she's like, Gosh, you're greedy. You
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: do all the talking all the time. I promised they'll
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: be quick. First one, I had to take the car
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: for a service just the other day, and one of
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: our kids came with. She came with me. She was
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: driving our second car so that she could bring me home.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: After I dropped the car off. There's a really amazing,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: amazing French patisserie right next to the Mechanic down in Cleveland.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: It's called La Bush Free Plug. Not sponsored. They didn't
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: they don't even know that I exist. But it just
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: amazing French bakery, goods and well. I dropped the car
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: off and I said to Ella, I know you're on
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: your way to school, would you like a French partisseeri
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: kind of treat to take the school and she said, oh, yeah,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: I would. Now. The truth is, I only wanted to
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: go to the French patisseriy because I needed some breakfast
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: because I've gone for a really long bike ride that
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: morning and I still hadn't had anything. But I figured
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: i'd get her a treat at the same time. So
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: I bought a little bit of breaking for me and
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: a tree for Ella, a big gluten free chocolate brownie,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: as it happens. And while I was making that order,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: the phone rang. It was you, and you said, Hey,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: just calling me to find out what you're up to.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: And I said, oh, I've just dropped the car off
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: and I'm grabbing a little treat for Ella for school
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: from the bakery next door. And then I hung up
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: the phone and said see you later to you. And
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: as soon as I was off the phone, Ella looked
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: at me and she said, Dad, I don't think you
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: were totally honest with Mum there, because you're not really
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: here for me, are you. I was like, oh gosh.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: So as soon as I walked in the door, I had.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Well that the actual nail in the coffin, yep, was
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: when you came home. Me knowing full well that you
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: had definitely brought something for you. You didn't even buy
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: me anything.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: Oh I know.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: So anyway, I'll do better tomorrow, full truth, full disclosure
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: at all times, or say nothing, say nothing, I think,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: or just buy Kylie a treat next time.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: What's your second one?
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Oh? The second one is actually i'll do better tomorrow
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: that I wanted to share. So we've got a very
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: clear morning routine in our home. And I walked into
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: the bedroom because I'd called Lily for our family time
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: every morning family time sometime around seven seven fifteen. We're
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: flexible on it, but it's a round about. Then called
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: out to Lily, our eleven year old, Hey, come on, kiddo,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: it's time to get on with this, and she just
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: she was nowhere. No matter how many times I called,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: four or five times, wasn't showing up. And then one
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: of the kids said, Dad, she's still in bed. She's asleep.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: She won't get out of bed. Now. What I didn't
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: know is that they'd set me up. So I've gone
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: into the bedroom and there's Lily asleep in bed. She's
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: got a hoodie covering her head, her face buried in
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: the pillow, and I said, Lily. I've called you like
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: five times. Come on, kiddo, let's go nothing like there's
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: just nothing at all. I'm like, oh, come on, this
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: is ridiculous. And I got crossed at her. I said, Lily, seriously,
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: I don't want to have to drag you out of bed.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: It's time to get moving. You can't be that tired.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: You went to bed on time. I'm giving her this
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: big lecture for about fifteen or twenty seconds, and then
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: I hear this laughter from out in the kitchen area
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: and it's Lily, and I'm like, huh, I've grabbed the
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: blankets and pulled them back. There's three pillows underneath the blankets.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: The teddy bear is laying there. She's put the hoodie
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: on her teddy, and you were completely jooped. I was
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: lecturing the teddy about how the teddy needed to be
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: on time. She's out in the kitchen. She thought it
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: was the funniest thing. And what I loved about that
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: practical joke is it just reminded me of how, regardless
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: of anything else that's going on in your world, if
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: you can find humor, it lightens the load. It makes
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: family life feel good. And I wanted to share that
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: because intentionally, here's this kid that's played a practical joke
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: on me, and it changed the mood of our family
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: for the rest of the morning. Not that the family
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: was not doing well. We were actually just fine, except
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: for the fact that Lily wasn't where she should be.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: But it was just fun and I love I think
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: that as parents we get so caught up in the
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: seriousness of it all, especially during pandemic lockdown stuff, and
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: if we can just lighten things up with a bit
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: of humor, oh my goodness, it can make a big difference.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: That's my I'll do better tomorrow. What's yours to.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Share a different experience, but based on what you shared,
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: I think that I'll just add to that. We've had
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: a couple of days where Miss seven has just refused
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: to be at school, she just doesn't want to go
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: at all. And so the other morning I just said
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: to her, all right, well, your room looks like it's
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: a mess. Why don't you clean up your room and
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: you can spend some time in here. And I was
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: just going to go hang the washing out, and within
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: about five minutes, I get mom, can you come and
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: help me get dressed? And I went in and she'd
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: kind of she'd flipped, she'd flipped a switch all by herself,
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: because I just gave her the space to kind of
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: work through it. But yesterday morning she came to me
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: and I could tell she was agitated, and when I
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: held her, I could actually feel her heart beating, and
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: I could just tell that she was really starting to
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: get agitated. So I did that five four three two
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: one with her.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Oh yes, So for those of you who are not
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: familiar with five four three two one, you just sit
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: with your child and so long as they're not emotionally
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: flooded and having a tantrum, you just hey, what are
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: five things that you can see? What are four things

  Speaker 2: can hear? What are two things that you can smell?
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: And what's one thing you can taste?
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: And what was amazing was like literally as I was
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: holding her, and I could feel her heart just pumping
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: really really fast, and her body was stiff. But she
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: wasn't angry. She was agitated, I could tell, and I
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: just said, hey, can you tell me what five things
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: you can see? And instantly she just everything changed.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: And so we because it's a well practiced thing in
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: our home. We do this with some not heaps, not overly,
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: but we do it with some consistency.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: So we got to two things. You can smell.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Smells one of her favorites, by the way, She's always
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: been a smelly kind of kid.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: And you had just sprayed your deodorant, so she could
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: smell your deodorant. And then she looked at me and
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: she said, and I can smell your morning breath. And
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: we just erupted into laughter, and that was the end
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: of it. She got on with her mourning.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Well, actually there was one more. One thing you can taste.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's always spit with her.

  Speaker 3: a sudden. This really agitated child who really didn't want
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: to comply with the morning routine, got up, got on
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: with it, and we got.
