Is there an answer to giving your toddler a good Diet, Routine and Discipline? Bottles, dummies, sleep training, eating issues and tantrums. This Term, Andalene Salvesen, aka SUPER GRANNY, gives us a little more insight to the importance of these three things in your Toddler Super Granny will be visiting Clamber Club Dunkeld to share her knowledge on Wednesday 14th August 2013 from 6pm – 7.30pm You may have heard of Supernanny, TV’s professional nanny who goes into homes to help parents learn how to manage their unruly brood. Andalene Salvesen is the South African version. After setting up a school and running unique exercise workshops for babies for 12 years, parenting coach Andalene decided it was her passion to help families have better relationships. She says: “I worked out my parenting course with three occupational therapists and people would say to me ‘you must come to my house and see how my child screams’ and I used to say: ‘I can’t do that - just come to my course and do it that way’. But then I saw Supernanny on TV and said to my husband, I can do that!”Andalene, who has four children and six grandchildren, says her main aim is to help parents see that diet, routine and discipline is a good thing. “Children need boundaries but the scale of these boundaries depends on each family - some have narrow ones and some have wide ones. I don’t come into people’s houses and say ‘you won’t jump on that couch,’ You will go to bed at 8pm,’ ‘You will eat all your food.’”Andalene says she helps families work out consequences for when boundaries are overstepped. “You have to tell children it’s their choice what they do but tell them if they step over that boundary what the consequence will be - calmly and in control. “A happy childhood involves a child knowing what the consequences are. They’re allowed to test boundaries, but if they know for sure their parents are consistently going to impose consequences, calmly without anger, then they feel safe and that is a happy childhood.” Super Granny comes highly recommended, and should you wish to book to attend this amazing talk, please contact Ronel 011 325 2031 or email dunkeld@clamberclub Tickets are R100 per person and anyone is welcome: Parents, Grandparents, and feel free to invite your friends.
