BIB - it's not always about not letting them out in time. When we were training our pup, she would pee in the house literally a few mins after being put out. She simply didn't understand. By doing this, it trains the dog to understand when it is right to pee/poop and when not. And lots of positive reinforcement when they get it right by going outside (our treat for this was half a Babybel.... Don't ask!
It worked though!).This makes me feel better my almost 4 year old has been in my bed since 10 months.Don’t worry, my daughter is nearly 6 and only just beginning to regularly sleep in her own bed
She’s said before that gorka is very strict and will shout at Mia for wanting to come in their bed. I mean each to their own but night time can be scary for little ones so I don’t think shouting at her is nice. She’s once said before something along the lines of when the Spaniard goes off he goes off and that Mia was worried she was gonna tell daddy when she had a tantrum in the middle of the night. ( I think what she was on about the other day)
Absolutely, and whatever works! That's much better than locking the poor thing upBIB - it's not always about not letting them out in time.

Can I ask what she was advertising/ doing? I've only ever noticed the clothing and dishwasher tabs (that would have been tested on animals)
I've Italian in me and have the very short fuse, and both sides of my family are very blunt, which I've also inherited, but I'm also an adult and and curb my behaviour amd attitude appropriately.
I’m the same. My mum is a teacher my dad is a cop so they were soooo strict when growing up. Me and my brother used to lie to them so much as teens. I used to keep things from them as well cos I knew they’d kick off. My dad used to suffer from migraines. He had an accident at work and banged his head and had horrible migraines but he used to be so grumpy with them and shout at us so much and it used to scare me.
Totally get her concerns over raising a spoilt brat, but Mia is still very young and locking her in her room by holding the door shut and labeling her as naughty just isn't the way,
I agree. If it’s at the point you’re locking a little kid in her room as she’s screaming, then control has been lost and it’s not right IMO. As is the mixed messages of when Gorka is there Mia isn’t allowed in the bed but when it’s just Gemma she is. I’d be mortified if my kid was begging me not to tell their dad they’d had a temper tantrum. Or if my partner was shouting at them not to be in our bed. Go on about discipline all you like but IMO that’s not what this is.Totally get her concerns over raising a spoilt brat, but Mia is still very young and locking her in her room by holding the door shut and labeling her as naughty just isn't the way,
No health care professional or Early years practitioner would support what shes advocating trust me but you know Gemma she can school anyone in any thing she's the authority
No I don’t think it’s disciple either. It’s hardly like she’s throwing tables across the room is it she’s only wanting to come in their bed. She even said it’s only every now and then.
.I'm the same, i love my space! One of mine took 3yrs to sleep at all, never mind just in their bed.. God knows how I did it looking back!I’m 100% with Gemma on sleep. I think you have to teach children to sleep well in a way. We’ve always been very firm but kind with our kids around bedtime & where they sleep. I’ve never left my kids crying but I agree with Gemma, I know what’s fake screeching & what’s genuine upset. I think we’ve taught our kids healthy sleep habits & as such, I have two kids who 95% of the time sleep through the night in their own rooms & consequently, we get a solid 8 hours sleep and are cheerful parents! I hate sharing a bed, I can’t sleep with anyone remotely near me. Even with my husband, who I love to death, we have a super king so we are nowhere near each other for actual sleeping
I think you do you, if you enjoy sleeping with your kids then great! But it’s not for everyone. Nice to hear from someone who isn’t harping on about attachment parenting to be honest. Gemma’s parenting is refreshingly normal! Mia’s a lovely kid, she’s clearly doing something right!

When my son was a toddler there were times when I had to hold the door shut if I put him in a time out. He was an incredibly strong willed toddler with a terrible temper and he would push every boundary going, kick, scream etc. I certainly wasn’t cruel, I just did what I had to do to give him time to cool down. I don’t think Gemma or Gorka are cruel either. Not all children are the same and parents do things differently. You do what you think works best for your child.I seem to remember Supernanny Jo Frost doing the door shutting technique on tv, sooo.....
You see, I'm of the belief that it's rude to send messages commenting on things they do. You say it was polite but I don't think there is a way to say "the thing you posted wasn't on brand for you" -it's essentially saying I only want you to show me what I believe you to be.
If they took turns getting
i don’t find her to always think she’s right in that she’s not saying this is the best way and you should all do this. I think she just explains what she does and why with force when it is questioned and defends what she does. I kind of like that she has her own beliefs and stands by them without being influenced by the hate, negativity and questions. There’s a difference between standing up for what you think is right for your family/you and saying that yours is the right way full stop.I don't have kids so can't comment on that side of things but I don't see her being any different to any of the other influencers who show/flaunt their child on IG which is her choice of course and she does appear to always think she's right about stuff. She's a little sickly sweet nice for my liking but I'm a grumpy antisocial old cow at times
It wasn’t at all rude the way I questioned her post, hence my surprise. If someone is posting this is how they live blah, blah to then do something completely different is open to question & I was genuinely interested. I’m often asked questions from followers & can answer them respectfully.
