Lily empowers parents and families to raise happy, thriving children
Navigating the journey of parenting is an experience brimming with both challenges and unparalleled joys. It’s a path that shapes not just the lives of our children, but transforms us in profound ways. Parenting can be hard and as much as we love our little ones sometimes they demand more from us than we can then we have the capacity to give. The journey of parenting is an experience filled with both challenges and unparalleled joys. It’s a path that shapes not just the lives of our children, but transforms us in profound ways. Parenting can be hard, and as much as we love our children, there are times when their demands exceed our capacity to meet them.
This sometimes looks like:
Not knowing what to do when your child is having a meltdown
Losing patience when they’re angry, upset, or nagging
Shutting them out when they are needy and looking for attention
Not listening to their thoughts and emotions when you are exhausted
Expecting them to be more independent
We all have these moments, and the most daunting part of parenting is that our actions in the early years of our child’s lives have a lasting impact on their self-esteem, relationships, and mental health for the rest of their lives.
So how do we know if we’re getting it right?
All children have difficult moments and will act out at times. However, many parents turn to experienced child psychologists and parenting support groups at Lily to understand the best way to show up for their children in these tough moments.
These behaviours could be:
Extreme neediness and struggling to separate from you
Aggressiveness and fighting with you, their siblings, and classmates
Unresponsiveness and not listening to you
Being highly anxious and not bouncing back from challenges
Struggling to make friends
Whining and nagging
Not wanting to go to school
Avoiding demands, like not wanting to brush their teeth or take a bath
When our children are consistently acting out or unhappy, it often overshadows any other problems in our lives and it’s difficult to know what to do. It also can spark disagreements with partners over parenting styles, and the relentless influx of advice from every direction can make even the most confident parent pause and question their approach.
Often professional advice is brought in far too late – when a child is having serious issues, unable to cope at their school, or there has been a major incident. Being proactive and getting early advice can have long-lasting and immediate positive impacts on your child’s life.
Lily is for proactive parents who want to give their children a happy, thriving future. Lily empowers you with tools and strategies to respond to your child’s needs and behaviours effectively. Our approach is based on decades of research and the latest evidence in child emotional development and attachment.
