Why we cry…

First of all, how does Becks respond to Claire’s Challenge Becks (and is she a crier..? - still up for debate actually ;-)) 

They also discuss: 


  • Why crying is actually a good thing (for so many reasons!) 
  • Why and how we tend to always link crying to something negative, when actually there are so many positive things associated with it (and we also cry happy tears!). 
  • How to respond when a child is crying and whether we should show our children that we cry too. 
  • What we are teaching our children in the way we respond to their cries (and don’t forget that they will be looking after us when we are old 😉!)? 
  • Finally, some tips about how to manage our own stress around crying.

Newborn to Teen and Everything in Between
Your go-to for advice on how to communicate with the children in your life. Brought to you by family consultancy Bespoke Family, enabling families to thrive
Newborn to Teen and Everything Inbetween - it does exactly what it says on the tin! Join childcare experts Becks and Claire for practical advice about how to communicate with children, at all ages.
There can be a lot of pressure to 'get it right' when it comes to children, which can be quite daunting! Whether you’re a parent, a teacher, TA or childcare worker, or just looking to gain a better understanding of the world through a child’s eyes, Becks and Claire have 25 years of childcare experience to share with you. Listen for reassurance and support to help you navigate tricky conversations, challenging behaviour, complex emotions, and the general day to day pressures of raising and working with children.
This is a judgement-free zone - you won't find a one-size-fits-all rule book here! The perfect parent doesn't exist, but in their family consultancy business Bespoke Family, Becks and Claire believe that a child centred approach which recognises and respects individuality is the best way to enable families to thrive. Join Becks and Claire for accessible, light-hearted and well researched advice and guidance on the various ways we can tackle the ups and downs of life with children (they've got a great sense of humour too, so if you love a laugh you're in great company!)
