Why do the simplest moments with kids — like putting on a coat — sometimes explode into shouting, tears, and slammed doors?
Why do even the most loving parents find themselves saying things they swore they'd never say?

In this powerful conversation, parenting coach Camilla McGill shares the three biggest mistakes parents unknowingly make — and, more importantly, how small shifts can completely transform the connection with a child.

Listeners will hear a real-life "messy moment" that every parent will recognise and walk away with practical tools to:
✨ Stay calm under pressure
✨ Guide instead of control
✨ Focus on building long-term resilience — not just short-term obedience

If anyone has ever walked away from an argument with their child thinking, "Why did it go that way?" — this episode offers the insight and reassurance they need.

“You’re stupid!” “I hate you!” “Give me it – NOW!”
If your child says things like this, you’re not alone — and you’re not doing anything wrong. But the truth is, hearing those words can be heartbreaking, especially when you’re trying to raise a kind and respectful human with good manners.

In this powerful episode, parenting coach Camilla McGill shares why rudeness shows up so often — particularly with the people our children feel safest with — and what we can do to guide them without shouting, shaming or punishment.

You’ll learn:

• Why kids are rude (hint: it’s rarely personal)
  
  
• How to stay calm and hold your boundary
  
  
• The gentle replay technique that helps children practise respectful communication
  
  
• What to do when they’re rude to a nanny or grandparent
  
  
• And how to handle those painful words: “I hate you.”
