Letting kids fail & encouraging a growth mindset - KICBUMP with Jess Sanders
Jess Sanders is a social worker and children’s author. Her latest book ‘You Can Do Hard Things - A Little One’s Guide For Not Giving Up’ helps children see disappointments as opportunities. A growth mindset empowers children to believe in themselves and reach their full potential. From building blocks, to learning times tables, children are constantly faced with difficulties, and a growth mindset helps children believe they are capable of overcoming these difficulties, if not today, then one day. In this conversation, Steph speaks with Jess about what a growth mindset actually means, how parents can model a growth mindset themselves, why children should experience failure and disappointment and what they can learn from it, not trying to “fix” our children’s emotions and giving children the tools to build their self-confidence. Check out Jess' latest book 'Life Lessons for Little Ones: You Can Do Hard Things' https://www.booktopia.com.au/life-lessons-for-little-ones-you-can-do-hard-things-jess-sanders/book/9781922930316.html KIC UPDATE Whether you’re a new mum, soon-to-be mum or all you want in life is to be a mum, no matter what kind of mum you are, Kic is here to help you make time for you.

Recognising the signs of grooming and what to do about it - KICBUMP with Jayneen Sanders
This episode is tough but a really important conversation for every parent and person with young people in their lives. Grooming refers to an older child or adult establishing a trusting relationship with a child or their family to sexually abuse or exploit the child. The average age that a child is abused is 6.8 years old and 90% of children who are abused know their abuser. To help make sense of it all, Steph speaks with Jayneen Sanders. Jayneen is a mum of three, author and educator who writes children’s books on body boundaries, respect, consent, body safety, feelings and emotions. In this episode, they speak about what grooming actually is, the red flags parents can look out for, how parents can live with the fear of letting their children out of their sights, what to do if you suspect your child is being groomed, and what support exists.

Brooke Jowett is a Kic trainer and an Australian Survivor All Star. Six months ago she and her partner Chris welcomed their first bub, Parker, into the world and it’s safe to say they’re obsessed.

Do I or don't I want kids? - KICBUMP with Laura Henshaw
The decision to have kids is one of the biggest ones we’ll ever make.

And we want to hear from you: what do you want to hear in the miniseries? Who do you want to hear from? What’s holding you back? What pushed you to make a decision?

Finding community through a cerebral palsy diagnosis – KICBUMP with Kic community member Kim
Kim was 27 weeks pregnant with her first daughter when she noticed a tiny amount of bleeding. After almost a week in hospital, and a traumatic birth experience, Kim gave birth to Elsie. Elsie then spent 11 weeks in the NICU and in that time, Kim and her husband Greg learned that Elsie had suffered a brain injury through pregnancy or birth and she was given a diagnosis of spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy. In this episode, Kim shares her story with Steph: her mostly straightforward pregnancy with Elsie, Elsie’s traumatic birth, their NICU stay and how it felt to finally hold Elsie for the first time, learning of Elsie’s brain injury, finding support online from parents of children with disabilities, and the decision to have a second baby. Thanks to Kic community member Kim for reaching out with her story. We hope her story helps other parents going through similar things feel less alone. Kim recommended the book 'Special: Antidotes to the obsessions that come with a child's disability' by Melanie Dimmitt https://www.simonandschuster.com.au/books/Special/Melanie-Dimmitt/9781925384680 FOLLOW US KICPOD @kicpod on Instagram Kic @kic.app on Instagram, @kic on TikTok and kicapp.com Steph Claire Smith @stephclairesmith on Instagram, @steph_claire_smith on TikTok Join our virtual mothers' group in the the KICBUMP Facebook group.

The best thing you can teach kids about food, movement & body image – KICBUMP with Taryn Brumfitt
Taryn Brumfitt is a body image activist, documentary director, writer, speaker, and the 2023 Australian Of The Year. Taryn created the documentary ‘Embrace’ to help us change the way we think about our bodies and ‘Embrace Kids’ to teach 9-14 year olds how to respect, move and nourish their bodies. Kids learn their first messages about food, movement and body image from their parents but parents can’t control what messages their kids learn outside the home. This is where Body Blocks comes in: a free learning resource for childhood educators. In this moving conversation, Taryn joins Steph to discuss how Taryn has reframed the parts of her body that changed through childbirth and feeding 4,000 meals to her children, the impact that parents’ and teachers’ language can have on kids for years afterwards, and the importance of sending positive messages to kids even if you don’t always feel them inside.

Is it normal to resent your partner during the newborn phase? – KICBUMP with Leonie Akhidenor
You’re exhausted from feeding all night and your partner is playing golf.

The pressure to “bounce back” after childbirth - KICBUMP with Em Clarkson
Em Clarkson is a new mum and the founder of fitness community ‘The Have A Goes’. At 8 months postpartum, Em's body looks and feels different to what she’s used to, but instead of getting caught up in the pressure of “bouncing back”, she’s appreciating what her body is capable of and finding empowerment through rebuilding her strength and fitness. Steph & Em discuss how Em went from running in circles in the dark and hating her body, to leading a fitness movement, her debilitating experience of HG (Hyperemesis gravidarum) which prevented her from training through her pregnancy, how her daughter Arlo has cured her anxiety, and running her first half marathon since giving birth.

Maggie is incredibly open about her motherhood journey, her experience with prolapse, mental health, confidence and a bunch of other things, but in today's KICBUMP episode we wanted to focus particularly on her experience with sleep training her children, which came with an absurd amount of backlash from people when she opened up about it online. Sleep training may not be for every parent and that is totally okay, but in today's episode we discuss what options there are, what worked for Steph and what worked for Maggie, how to block out the noise of everyone else's unhelpful opinions and much more.
