The language we use around boys today profoundly shapes who they become tomorrow — emotionally resilient, or emotionally suppressed? You get to decide 💛

Make sure they know:
1. All feelings are okay and they’re part of being human
2. They are also temporary — you won’t be sad/angry/frustrated forever
3. Adults cry too, and expressing emotion isn’t a sign of weakness

I feel super strongly about these concepts and that’s why I wrote them in my bestselling children’s picture book set! Comment “Set26” to get them for your kids 💛

What the what?! 😒 Did you see this study by AWARE Singapore? What are your thoughts?

Comment “Set26” for those books. Boys need better modelling NOW 📚

(And come back for Part 2; I have more to say about this survey!)

I talked about this briefly on my stories last night while following NDR, and got SO MANY DMs about it — so let’s bring the discussion into the open. What do you want to see from your employer, as a parent?

Also, this is my secondary mission with my biz. My first priority is giving kids the parents they deserve — hence parent education — and my second is giving back by hiring mums and giving them the flexibility I get to enjoy as a small biz owner 🫶🏻

So please know that every time you buy one of my books or join my course/membership community… You’re supporting a broader cause — and I’m super grateful! 🙏🏻

Comment “Set26” for those bestselling children’s picture books, that help you reframe the harmful words your child hears from the world — to build resilience, emotional literacy, and a growth mindset 💪🏻

Sooo many of you sent me this clip of Mdm Halimah Yacob weighing in on the patting head incident, asking for my thoughts. So here you go! Do you agree or disagree; what’s YOUR take?

Comment “Set26” for my bestselling children’s picture books! Teachers, psychologists, and social workers now use these books to teach families about body boundaries, consent, and so much more 💛

Gaiz. Someone potentially getting offended doesn’t mean you don’t speak up 🤷🏻‍♀️ ALSO, you can drastically reduce the chance of the other party getting offended if you genuinely see their good intentions, and communicate it that way — clearly, calmly, and with respect.

I knowww, to many people, ANY uninvited touch (including a pat on the head) is unwelcome, and there’s a feeling of “Why do I have to be nice about it, they shouldn’t even have touched my kid”. Look, we’re all entitled to our views — but personally, it matters to me that my kids see me advocating always without violence, personal attacks, and rudeness 💪🏻

Of course, if the situation is legit dangerous, then I’ll be coming down harder; but the point is not to be responding in a disproportionate manner — which is exactly what this dad did. Zomg still can’t believe he flung an elderly uncle across the floor! 🫠

Comment “Class” if you want to learn more about how to parent in a self-respecting way, so you can raise self-respecting kids too 😉

Sooo many people asked this yesterday, after I posted about this inciden — so here’s how I deal with strangers randomly touching my kids (e.g. pats on the head). Curious to hear others’ perspectives and experiences!

Also, PLEASE teach your kids to learn how to disagree and advocate for themselves/others WITH RESPECT. Clearly something this dad didn’t do 😒

My bestselling book set will help with this! Comment “Set26” and I’ll send you the link 💛

What are YOUR thoughts on this? Come back for another reel tomorrow; I have SO MUCH to say about this incident!! 🤨

Comment “Set26” if you want a pressure-free way to talk body boundaries with your child 💛 Teachers, psychologists, and social workers use my book set to teach this stuff 🥰

I’m actually going to watch it again tonight as I’m bringing my parents to watch it — and I’m legit going to bring a notebook so I can jot down more thoughts 🤪 So stay tuned for more parenting lessons from The Odyssey 😂🐎🔥

I see this a LOT with my clients in the Juicy Fam, and I always see the relief spread across their faces when they realise: I’m not alone. Cuz I always ask the rest of the group coaching call: “Who else is feeling or has felt this way?” And a whole load of hands shoot up 🙋🏻‍♀️

If this is you right now, please know you’re not alone 💛 Send this to the fellow mum (or dad, but usually it’s the mums heh) who’s feeling this way too 🙏🏻
