Tears, tantrums, and thrown food were the daily specials. Maya was exhausted and Ben was perpetually grumpy around mealtimes. Then, Maya’s Caregiver Coach recommended they start using mealtime routines. She started small, picking one meal a day to focus on. She started with lunch, when he was likely to be hungriest. A cheerful song became their signal that playtime was ending and a yummy meal was coming. Ben even started helping set the table for lunch, putting his placemat and cup in the right spots. The change wasn’t immediate. Ben still had picky moments and the occasional meltdown. But the battles were less intense. Ben seemed to like knowing what to expect and having small tasks to help with. Mealtimes were slowly morphing from a nightmare into a time they could actually enjoy together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a2fdb60ce08b41740ece7e/b90fc98f-9b7d-4879-8b15-e1fc64ade765/Jennas-Journey-4.07.05%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Rhythm & Routine: Building Blocks for Happy Families - Jenna’s Journey: Finding Moments of Peace with Independent Play Jenna loved her three-year-old, Sam, with all her heart, but his constant pleas of “Mummy, play with me!” were wearing her thin. She felt guilty every time she said no, but there was laundry to fold, meals to prepare, and at least a dozen emails that desperately needed her attention. Jenna decided to try giving routines a go. She first observed Sam’s energy levels. He seemed most content after breakfast and a bit of outdoor playtime, but before he got too hungry for lunch. That seemed like the perfect window. Next, she picked a clear starting signal – a “busy time” sign she drew that she was planning to put on the dining room table, within eyesight of Sam’s play area. Then, Jenna carefully set the stage. She gathered Sam’s favourite cars, some building blocks, and a pile of picture books into a designated play corner. The first attempt was…interesting. When Jenna first told Sam it was “Busy Time”, Sam looked at her like she’d grown two heads. He whined and clung to her leg. But Jenna was prepared. She scooped him up for a big hug, reminding him, “Mumma has some quick things to do, but I’ll be back to play soon.” Then, she gently set him down in his play corner, offering some exciting car noises to catch his interest. It took a few days. Sometimes Sam got distracted quickly, sometimes he would play for a blissful 10 minutes before the whining returned. Jenna persisted, always staying close by and offering gentle encouragement. Slowly, Sam began to expect “Busy Time”. He even started gravitating towards his play corner on his own between other activities. It wasn’t a magic solution. Some days were still a struggle. But Jenna noticed those precious moments of independent play were growing longer. She could make a phone call, unload the dishwasher, even enjoy a hot cup of tea without interruption. And best of all, Sam seemed to be developing a sense of self-reliance and contentment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a2fdb60ce08b41740ece7e/de4d7c25-e9c4-4259-901b-2b8e5f48d185/Dan-riding-bike-2.png Blog - Rhythm & Routine: Building Blocks for Happy Families - Dave’s Dad Hack: From Outing Ordeals to Adventure Time Getting out of the house with his two little whirlwinds, Ben and Sarah, felt like prepping for a space launch, not a trip to the park. Missing socks, meltdowns over the wrong colour cup… it was enough to make Dave want to stay inside forever. Then he stumbled across the idea of using routines. Could it really be that simple? Desperate enough to try, Dave started with their weekly library trip. He made a silly chart with pictures that he brought out to start the routine – shoes on, water bottles in the bag, buckling up. The kids thought it was a game, ticking things off as they went. Next, he invented their “Adventure Time” song. It was cheesy, with arm waving and everything, but it made them laugh and stopped them from squabbling the second they stepped outside. Were their outings suddenly perfect? Heck no. But they were…better. The kids knew what was coming, so there were fewer surprises and a lot less yelling (from everyone involved). Feeling brave, Dave added more outings: the playground on sunny afternoons, or the local aquatic centre. Each trip had its own song or a special way the kids could “help.” It wasn’t about making them robots; it was about turning that chaotic energy into a fun challenge they were part of. https://www.beehivesupports.com.au/blog/toddler-tantrums monthly 0.5 2025-08-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a2fdb60ce08b41740ece7e/dbc0c5fc-cae5-4b04-9171-ec009dccc36c/mum-hugging.jpeg Blog - Toddler Tantrums: When Should You Worry About Your Child’s Behaviour? caregiver cuddles https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a2fdb60ce08b41740ece7e/3ad1e29b-9b29-4da2-ad7f-6d310164426e/Escalation-Cycle-White-Background.jpeg Blog - Toddler Tantrums: When Should You Worry About Your Child’s Behaviour? - A toddler tantrum is like a little storm. It starts with some grumbles and tears (like the first drops of rain), gets bigger and louder (kind of like thunder and lightning!), and then finally starts to calm down. Afterward, your little one might feel tired and a bit quieter for a while, just like the sun peeking out after the rain. A little while later, when the sun is shining again, it’s almost as though the storm never happened. https://www.beehivesupports.com.au/home daily 1.0 2025-08-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a2fdb60ce08b41740ece7e/35cd2717-2bab-42c6-9965-4acd31717ddc/yellow+hex.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a2fdb60ce08b41740ece7e/788b7580-8102-46c3-b6ae-fbefeda8c676/red+empty+hex.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a2fdb60ce08b41740ece7e/bdceb108-ff18-4b65-8886-2229431f1af0/green+empty+hex.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a2fdb60ce08b41740ece7e/0c754f1b-62d3-4375-943c-d9398ca5c93e/yellow+hex.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a2fdb60ce08b41740ece7e/cc2aad69-f4e9-4681-a26c-2ee9dff115f0/blue+hex.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a2fdb60ce08b41740ece7e/bdceb108-ff18-4b65-8886-2229431f1af0/green+empty+hex.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64b9441f7fdae8708d5cd680/1689863218948-WQMUTT4ETXPOM8TTUDED/2840337.jpg https://www.beehivesupports.com.au/about daily 0.75 2026-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a2fdb60ce08b41740ece7e/6bd43f74-8b7d-42ae-a8e0-dc86c424d890/Frank+Nicolson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a2fdb60ce08b41740ece7e/fd121f18-bb2d-45a7-806f-50398be922be/BCBA+logo.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a2fdb60ce08b41740ece7e/a0700694-6917-46f3-a3fb-3ccd3116f5e5/Repeating+pattern+updated+and+compressed.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a2fdb60ce08b41740ece7e/1e4524c8-28e7-4f4e-96e4-62080cd4c11d/Little+girl+playing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64b9441f7fdae8708d5cd680/1689863216104-F8RYH20B3HA6O6I2VO27/2495599.jpg https://www.beehivesupports.com.au/online-course daily 0.75 2025-08-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615225259531-0HK0SKZ3FR5VOEIG39FB/Rectangle+26.jpg Calm the Chaos Online Course https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615225322403-8M32U1NK41JYCCJQCWP7/Rectangle+25.jpg Calm the Chaos Online Course https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615225298850-6RK21Y7YG7VPMPS9NQT9/Rectangle+27.jpg Calm the Chaos Online Course https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615225322403-8M32U1NK41JYCCJQCWP7/Rectangle+25.jpg Calm the Chaos Online Course https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a2fdb60ce08b41740ece7e/dd3f8e41-114c-4a2a-868c-eb8ab9b66b60/brooke-lark-UX87Pz74ukY-unsplash.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a2fdb60ce08b41740ece7e/b7c4b013-b5f5-40bb-be54-8012832b1acc/pexels-vanessa-loring-5082625.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a2fdb60ce08b41740ece7e/63fe7fda-8fd2-476e-959a-b97e871c7ddc/pexels-timur-weber-9127146.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a2fdb60ce08b41740ece7e/56eb572b-324b-42fe-8590-6a4a3cf31133/pexels-anna-shvets-3905794.jpg https://www.beehivesupports.com.au/faqs daily 0.75 2025-08-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a2fdb60ce08b41740ece7e/3cb808e8-f457-4edf-b59b-8838d434191e/pexels-cottonbro-studio-3661351.jpg https://www.beehivesupports.com.au/contact-1 daily 0.75 2025-08-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a2fdb60ce08b41740ece7e/e145257e-e49c-491d-98a3-347132cc5290/jeniffer-araujo-6cBKMxTYmWw-unsplash.jpg https://www.beehivesupports.com.au/toddler-tantrums-tracker-free daily 0.75 2025-08-27
