Anyway, off to LIBERATE other parents on one of my new Easy Tiger Parents
Programmes.

This is so funny! I rang one of my Easy Tiger Parents Programme Graduates
last week as part of our normal 3 - 12 month Progress Review just to see how
she was getting on post the programme. And guess what? She refused to talk
to me!!! Why? Because she was in the middle of her 'ME TIME' activity :-),
which was something that she learnt to do and developed whilst she was on
the programme. :-) I guess the programme is still working for her then!!!!
And she completed the programme over 12 months ago. Brilliant!

Sheer Brilliance in action! Dr John Demartini. He has some short Events now
as well as his weekend Breakthrough Experience Event.

only ones that my SON has ever asked to borrow! And his brother thinks that
I have brainwashed him! Have a look see which event suits you best

Have a great weekend everyone - whatever you are doing!

Another Easy Tiger Parents Programme starting next Monday. Looking forward
to kick the programme off. We have maximum numbers attending next week.
Brilliant!

The government hasn't introduced the GANG INJUNCTION for young people yet,
though they intend to if the pilot with adult gang members works. I'm glad
they haven't introduced it for young people yet because it's not more
injunctions, jails and criminalization that young people need, but PROPER
help to stay out of gangs, not join them in the first place. Young people
join gangs because gangs fill massive gaps and VOIDS in their lives. What
they need is something positive to replace the gang mentality first, before
taking this, their survival strategy away from them!!

The government has decided to launch a GANG INJUNCTION in England and Wales
yesterday, restricting the movements of adults believed to be gang members.
This includes police having on the spot powers to stop gang members meeting
each other and going into certain neighbourhoods.

Good news that the parents and community's petition to stop the government
closing down 7 - SEVEN - Children's Centres in Stoke has been a fantastic
success today!! Government did a U turn! Sadly, it decided to close other
facilities in the area that are used by people with disabilities and the
elderly :-(

I truly believe that when we are ready, the teacher will appear! I've seen
this happen several times in my life and was thankful for the teacher
appearing when they did as apposed to when I thought I wanted them

I was watching 'The Worlds Strictest Parents' tonight. It amazes me how out
of control some teenagers can become! However ,in all the episodes of this
show that I have seen, their behaviour generally comes from either not being
listened to, valued or certain circumstances within the home environment
going wrong. The programme also shows how discipline, firmness, emotional
availability of the host parents can help to turn the teenagers' lives
around. Good programme!

TOP TIP: for helping people untangle their mixed up feelings: restate their
problem as a Question. For instance, "so the problem seems to be: How do you
express that you are feeling unloved at home (without self harming)?"

Due to my son's research on nutrition, and his Nutrition Plans for people
experiencing depression leading to self harm, i have also discovered why the
doctor told me that my cholesterol level had increased! I'm eating more eggs
these days to help with low blood sugar, and hence the increase in
cholesterol. Hhhhmmm! More on the Nutrition Plans later

My son has discovered the connection between diet/nutrition, depression and

Some parents on my Easy Tiger Parents Programme mistakenly think that
TEENAGERS don't want to be shown love! MISTAKE!! Who doesn't want to be
loved? Or shown love? We all do, don't we? How we receive it is what makes
the difference, isn't it? Yes our teens definitely want to be shown love.
Even just a physical connection from us such as pat on our teen's head,
knee, elbow etc is enough for them to know that we care. So go on - show
your teen some love!

A parent on one of my Easy Tiger Parents Programme asked me if I thought
decorating her home would help her to lift her spirits. I left that thought
with her and looking forward to hearing her answer tomorrow at the next
session. I took couple days off last week painting with my son and I feel
absolutely fantastic, energized and uplifted! Feel great looking at what
we've achieved together

When one door closes another one opens! About 3 weeks ago I gave notice to
my Aerobics instructor that I would not be returning to the classes. It was
a particular aerobics programme combined with weight loss (we are weighed
every week), which is just what I needed, however, due to my hypoglyceamic
condition, I have to eat often. As you can image, due to eating often I have
and continue to gain weight, hence leaving the aerobics programme because I
felt that I was setting myself up to fail. That said, the following week I
discovered that my local leisure centre was starting a circuit training
programme on the same evening that I used to do aerobics. I signed up
straight away! So I'm still keeping fit and healthy but without the stress
of and focus on whether I've lost weight or not. I have an upcoming hospital
appointment next month to find out the extent of my condition. This concept
of one door closing and another opening is just a simple example in my life
currently.

What do you need to let go of in order that you can move forward? An
argument? A relationship? A job? Certain friends? Change will only happen
when you create space for the new thing to come into your life. When is NOW
the right time for you to let go!? Have an inspirational filled week and
thoughts!

On one of my Easy Tiger Parents programmes, many of the parents are
extremely anxious for one reason or another. I normally do my own relaxation
or meditation as part of the programme, with this particular group I feel I
need a little extra help - one of my relaxation CDs. My intention is to
liberate them so that they leave the programme leaving calm, enabled, ready,
willing to take more risks, bonded with their children and generally
LIBERATED!

It's half term in Birmingham and the West Midlands this week. If you have
children, how are you spending your time together? My son and I did some
painting on Sunday and will spend another day tomorrow. I am very impressed
with his painting skills given that he's only ever painted his bedroom walls
before. He was as proud as punch and felt that he had a 'productive' day.
Brilliant!

Writing my proposal today for my Radio Show. If all goes well, we go live

I've got some really anxious parents on one of my new Easy Tiger Parents'
Programmes! I normally do my own relaxing and meditation exercises as part
of the programme with parents, however with this particular group of
parents, I think some extra help is needed - one of relaxation CDs as well.
The calmer they are, the more they'll be able to absorb and make the most of
the tools and solutions from the programme. Looking forward to it!

Full of beans and energy these days, now that I am able to get back to my
exercises after my mini op. Feeling great! This is a great testimony for
anyone feeling low in energy or lethargic - start exercising and notice the
difference it makes in your energy levels and mindset.

Finished another great Easy Tiger Parents Programme yesterday. I always have
mixed feelings at the end of a programme. Happy that the parents have grown
so much; are in a different space and place emotionally; are different
parents; have risen to the challenges I have thrown at them; and leave the
programme walking 10ft tall. Add I'm sad to see them go!
