• 0:07
  Speaker 1: time poor parent who just wants answers.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Now, sometimes you actually do have to be strict, be clear,
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: be firm, and let the kids know where we're up
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: to right now is not where we're supposed to be.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: These are our family values, these are the expectations we have.

  Speaker 2: Let's lift a little, let's improve.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: And now here's the stars of our show, my mom
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: and dad.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: It's Friday.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: That's what I hear every morning when I call the
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: kids to say, good morning. I've been away again, secret
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: business this weekend. This week I should say with well,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: I can't say just might maybe have something to do
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: with Parental Guidance season two?
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: Are you such a spoiler?
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Been away?
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: I don't say anything.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Maybe I can say a little bit.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: I've been away all week with something to do with
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Parental guiden season two that I can't tell you about.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: And every morning when I ring, I hear the family say,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: it's Friday.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: Well, no, you don't.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: I just realized that say it's Friday.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: If you did, we'd have a really hard time getting
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: through the rest of the week because it should be
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: the weekend tomorrow.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: Everybody says good morning.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: And it makes my day when I hear this chorus
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: of daughters sitting there in the car with you on
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: the way to school saying good morning. What a great
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: way to kick off the day. Anyway, it's Friday, it's
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Doc Justin Colston here with Kylie. Have I said that
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: already I'm feeling a little bit discombobulated. I don't know why,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: but it's so great to be able to share our
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: old do Better Tomorrow episode with you just before I do.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: We've been so grateful to receive some emails from people
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: who are saying, hey, we listened to the podcast.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: We really like it.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: We had a an episode just the other week, episode
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: number five one seven, Episode five hundred and seventeen six
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: phrases to transform your relationship with the kids and Erin
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: from Michigan, Kylie, Michigan, that's pretty cool. Listen to a
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: couple of kids from down under. Thanks, Erin, appreciate the email.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Eric said, when life and the to do list gets overwhelming,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: I say to our kids, focus on one thing first.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: You know. That has been pretty much a mantra of
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: mine this week, really, and it's made such.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: A different tell me more.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: I have just been really intentional about just every time
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: I think about something. We're in a new house and
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: there's lots of things that I want to do so
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: much time, and so instead of trying to keep it
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: all in my head, I just am writing a list.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: Every day as they come in, I'm just writing the list,
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: and I'm not focused on getting that list done. It's
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: just so that I don't have to remember that that's
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: what I want to do. And then as I go
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: through the day, I'm just like, Okay, I've got time
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: to do that, and I'm just doing it. I'm breaking
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: all of these bigger jobs up into bite sized chunks,
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: which means it's so much more enjoyable and I don't
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: feel stressed. It's been brilliant. I love it.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: So that sounds like it could be an older better
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: tomorrow in and of itself, because if we want to
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: be better tomorrow for our kids, we just need to
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: actually focus on one thing at a time, mono task,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: not multitask. Yeah, I think I said it in the podcast.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Multitasking is a myth. You can't do anything well if
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: you're trying to multitask.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: I love that so.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Erin Thank You so much for listening all the way
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: from Michigan in the United States. Eron says, I love
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: your podcasts, so helpful, highlight of the day. Thanks for
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: making our a little better place.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: We try, we try.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Aaron also says, by the way, we because Aaron's a
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: bit like me, let's get as much value to every
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: direction as we can. Aaron added, we also say we
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: can do hard things, which is another phrase that can
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: transform your relationship with your kids. I really appreciate the
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: email podcasts at Happy Families dot com dot au. Also, Kylie,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: we received a voice memo. This one came from Rachel
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: about the same podcast episode.
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: My name is Rachel. I'm a mum of an eight
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: year old daughter and a six year old son. Listen
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: to your podcast today about the things we can say
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: to improve our relationships with our kids. Something that I've
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: tried to be a bit more conscious of recently is
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: to say yes. Now, I'm not talking about yes in
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: the sense of, you know, giving in to all of
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: their demands and stuff like that, but you know, there's
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: so many little moments where our kids might ask us
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: to do something with them. Often as parents, we're just
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: so busy and it can be, I guess easy to
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: default to saying no or just leaving them to it,
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: or thinking that it's okay for them to do these
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: things on their own. There's something really special about the
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: look on their faces when they ask you, can you
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: do this with me and you say yes, Yeah. Just
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: make the most of the time that you have with
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: each other.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: Why did we not think about that?
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Well? I was going to say, what was that doing?
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Not on our list?
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: If you want to transform your relationship with other people,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: actually say yes, listen to them, help them, be there
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: for them. So grateful for that one, Rachel, Thanks for
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: sending through that voice memo. If you would like to
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: give us feedback on any of the episodes that we're
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: doing here on the Happy Families podcast, send those voice
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: memos to podcasts at Happy Families dot com, dot you,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: or just shootus an email. We're delighted love hearing from you. Okay,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: I'll do better tomorrow, Kylie clock sticking already. We've had
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: so much feedback and so many things to talk about.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: What's your old do better tomorrow?
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: Well, like I said a bit earlier, I have had
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: I've had an awesome week being really really intentional about
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: just making small changes to the way I do things
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: to have more intention and more purpose in the way
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: I spend my time. And the mornings with the kids
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: have been fantastic. Having that family meeting last weekend, getting
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: us all sorted and on the same page, knowing exactly
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: what needs to happen, has just meant that things have
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: run so smoothly. We've got to school on time, and
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: that kids, for the most part, really active participants.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: You know, you're really enraging about three quarters of our
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: listenership right now, who are saying, but.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: I can't get it right.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: It's driving me up the wall wire. My morning is
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: not like that.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Well, I do get up quite early. That's one of
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: the key secrets for me.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: What time? Tell everybody, what time are you getting up?
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: So I get up at five am and I'm usually
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: awake before the alarm goes off.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: At the risk of being a little bit crass, I'm
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: pretty sure that some parents just puked in their mouths.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: Yes, I know. When I first got married and you
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: would want to get up very very early is to
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: drive me insane. But I have actually, as I've gotten older,
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: I have found that it's my most productive time. So
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: I get up, and as a parent, once the kids
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: are awake, your time's not your own anymore. And so
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: I've really been intentional about carving out some time for me,
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: and it's the only time I can do it.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: And let me just add because Kyler gets up at
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: five and I get up at four forty for my
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: bike rides, or four thirty, depending on where I'm writing
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: and who I'm writing with, sometimes even four twenty because
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I'm that silly, we fall asleep without the aid of
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Netflix or anything like that at approximately eight fifteen fifteen
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: and eight forty five. We had just potatoes at that
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: hour of the night. But that's the way that we're living.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: But it gives us the time for us, but also
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: the time to really be present for the kids because
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: we've had the preparation for the day that we need.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: Well, I feel amazing once I do that. So I
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: get up, I read my favorite book, I make my bed,
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: I get dressed, and then I go for a rundown
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: to the beach. It's only one point five k so
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: don't think I'm, you know, like some marathon wizard. I'm
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: only doing one point five k's but it's great. I
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: get my body moving, and then I sit down at
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: the beach, I do a meditation, I listen to a podcast,
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: and I come home and the kids are just starting
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: to stir.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: What a life it is.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: It's and because of that, I feel great. Yes, I've
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: fed my soul and I feel great, and I show
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: up as my best self.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: It's inspiring. I'm so glad that you shared that.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: And so once I do that, then the kids actually
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: kind of catch my energy. I'm peppy and my step
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: and I'm just so excited to give them a hug
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: and wake them up in the mornings. And so for
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: the most part, this week has been brilliant. But I
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: got to yesterday and there's a change in routine. We
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: have two extra kids home.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because they've got some extracurricular activities.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: First thing in the morning, that's right, that take them
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: out and they get themselves to school.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: But not yesterday morning.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: No, So two extra kids who are melancholy and who
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: are not across the routine that we do every day
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: when they're not there, so they're just kind of on
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: slow go. And so my two little ones who know
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: what the routine are going.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Come on, let's go.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: We've got to be out the door and no one's
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: in any hurry, and so slowly it just unraveled until
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: it wasn't unraveling slowly, it was unraveling really really fast,
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: and everything just kind of fell in a heap.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think that I got the good morning
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: on the phone.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: You did not. You did not, And when you did
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: ring to kind of check in, it was like, yeah,
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: hi dad.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: Nobody had any energy, and everybody was really really frustrated,
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: and that just the bickering and the fighting that created
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: because things weren't going the way that they wanted to.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: And it was so easy for me to sit in
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: that moment and think, oh gosh, what am I doing wrong?
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: But the reality is I didn't do anything wrong. It
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: just is what it is. And no matter how intentional
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: we are, some days are just gonna be crappy.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Because kids are kids, right, Kids have got their own agenda,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: they've got their own mess.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, but I can do everything I can so
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: that I can stay on top of me and and
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: hopefully help them stay on top of them.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: So it's to take her message from your old do
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: better tomorrow, get up early, and hope for the best.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: I think it's just acknowledging that some days, no matter
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: what you do, some days are just not going to
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: happen the way you want them to. They're not going
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: to meet your expectations. And it doesn't mean that you're
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: doing anything wrong. It just means that you've got other
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: people in your life, you've got children, and you can't
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: control their every action.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: So that take her message?
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Really, the first five minutes that you take her message
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: was you flexing about how good your mornings are.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: That's what it was, wasn't it? And can I just
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: add I am living my best life. People you do.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: I'm so excited you do this without coffee or any
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: other stimulants.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: You just get up and make it happen. He's flexing. Now, Hey,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: after the break, we're going to find out about how the.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Parenting expert really has the best intentions, but sometimes it
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: doesn't translate so well. The twenty first century is a
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: tricky time to be a teen girl. Alcohol, drugs, mental
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: health concerns, body image issues, technology, sex. Our daughters face
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: all these and more. The Happy Families Misconnection Summit brings
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: together the best modern day experts on teen girls to
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: show you how to stay connected with your daughter and
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: help her face these.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: Challenges head on.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Available online via video at the Happy Families webshop.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: It's the Happy Families podcast, the podcast for the time
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: poor parent who just wants answers, Now, what have you
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: got for us today?
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: So Alder Better Tomorrow's about reflecting on how we're doing
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: learning how to be better. You mentioned at the start
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: of your Older Better Tomorrow that in our family meeting
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: we got really clear on what the expectations are, and
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: the kids have pretty much been brilliant for the whole
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: week while I've been away doing my secret stuff that
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: I can't talk about in relation to Parental Guidance Season
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: two that I'm not going to say anything more about
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: it because I'm not allowed to, and so I missed
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: all of that great stuff. But the family meeting itself,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: everyone knows, everyone's heard us on the podcast.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: What went well, what didn't? What are we going to
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: do about it this week?
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: That's the extent of the family meeting ten fifteen minutes max.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: If the kids will just well.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: You say it's going to be ten or fifteen minutes.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Well the kids just keep on interrupting like you did.
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: Then everybody wants to have a voice.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: I know they do one with this many.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: Kids, that's exactly right. I don't know how you think
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: it's going to ever be fifteen minutes.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Or do you know why I actually say it's ten
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: or fifteen minutes, because I know that almost everybody who
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: listens to the podcast has only got one, two, or
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: three kids.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: There's very few that go beyond three. Some do.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: But if you've only got a couple of kids and
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: they're little, you can get through it super quick. You
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: can get through it in five minutes. That's why I
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: say ten minutes. I'm averaging it, oh averaging, even though
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: I was go for forty five. So anyway, I pulled
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: the kids together. They came in grumbly, they didn't even
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: want to be there for the family meeting and.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: Be very very out of routine because.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: You've been working so hard, they've actually used that as
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: an excuse to do less. They've not been participating, and
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: so I didn't go hard at them. But when they
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: weren't giving us particularly responsive answers to the questions what's
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: going well, what's not and what are we going to
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: do about it? I kind of got agitated. I elevated
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: my energy in an unpleasant way. I was like, seriously, guys,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: are you not seeing what's going on here? Are you
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: watching what mum's doing. There's no gratitude, there's no event.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: I may have started to lecture. I may have put
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: the guilts on a little bit. And the meeting ended
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: up being pretty clear in its outcome there needs to
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: be change, and the kids agreed that the routine needed
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: to improve. So obviously you got the outcome, but we
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: didn't get there in the nicest possible way. And I'm
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: a little bit stuck now because my I'd do better
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: tomorrow was going to be. I shouldn't have gotten that
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: frustrated with the kids. I should have been a little
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: bit softer. I should have let them come to their
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: own conclusions. I should have workshopped a lot more with
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: them rather than lecturing them.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: But it seems like.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: It worked because you had a pretty good week except
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: for yesterday, obviously, And now I'm kind of in this
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: bind where I'm thinking, sometimes as a you've actually got
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: to lay down the law. Sometimes as a parent, you've
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: got to let them know what the expectations are if
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: they're not living up to them.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: And there's research that shows that that you if.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: You let them know, hey, this is the standard that
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: we anticipate, this is the standard we expect, this is
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: where we need you to be, that kids actually do
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: lift to that level.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: Well, that's why those family meetings are so important, because
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: we had it at the beginning of the week. We
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: reset for the week, we reset the expectations, and everybody
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: was across it. We've had a great week for the
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: most part. We get to have another family meeting this
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: weekend to celebrate what we achieved and then to look
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: at what didn't go so well on how we can
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: improve on that. There's accountability. It makes such a difference
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: instead of it going for months on end and everybody
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: getting frustrated because of expectations too.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Right, So, anyway, the take our message for me really
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: is sometimes you actually do have to be strict, be clear,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: be firm, and let the kids know where we're up
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: to right now is not where we're supposed to be.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: These are our family values, these are the expectations we have.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Let's lift a little, let's improve And obviously the kids did,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: even though they didn't appreciate me giving them a bit
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: of a serve. I wonder though, I just wonder, could
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: I have done it a little more gently? Could I've
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: done it a little more patiently? Could I've been a
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: little more considered in the way that I did it.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: I guess we'll find out, because this weekend we need
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: to talk to them about getting along well together. That's
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: the thing that needs to be worked on this time,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: because man, they've been at each other anyway. The take
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: our message, have those conversations with your kids, let them
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: know the expectations, and hopefully things will change at least
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: for a day or two.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: Mine is to be intentional and purposeful, stay on task,
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: but to recognize that when things don't go well, it's
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: not necessarily because you've done anything wrong.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, nice one.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: We really hope that this I'll do better tomorrow has
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: been helpful and inspiring for making your family function better.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: If you have any feedback for us, we always appreciate it.
