AD - Press Trip | I had such a great weekend at @p AD - Press Trip | I had such a great weekend at @pottersresortsfivelakes with @slwilson84. It was an action packed three nights with a full activity and entertainment programme, great food, lovely drinks and beautiful surroundings. 

The staff go above and beyond to make everyone feel at home and they ensure that everyone has the best time possible. I don’t think I stopped smiling all weekend.

The best thing about Potters holidays is that everything is included in the price you pay. Four meals a day, all your drinks - including wine, Prosecco, most spirits and soft drinks - great accommodation and so many activities. 

I’ll write a full review soon but for now here’s a little Reel of our weekend
I always have a lot of questions about accommodati I always have a lot of questions about accommodation when we stay anywhere as a family so I thought I’d share this little tour of our room at @windjammerlanding which was a pretty perfect place to stay.

It’s the ‘Ocean View Two Bedroom’ which was like a little house, with an upstairs and downstairs, built into the hillside. Both rooms had outdoor space and their own shower rooms. Such a great option for a family.
A little photo dump from our holiday in St Lucia. A little photo dump from our holiday in St Lucia. We’ve been back a few days now but still miss the heat, the food, the pool, the constant sounds of wildlife and the lovely people. It was such a great holiday and I’m sure we’ll be back one day.
And just like that, Athena is 12! What a joy it is And just like that, Athena is 12! What a joy it is watching her grow and what a wonderful young woman she is becoming. We could not be more proud. Love you Pickle, have a great birthday.
We’ve just got back from two glorious weeks in S We’ve just got back from two glorious weeks in St Lucia staying at @windjammerlanding and it was just the holiday we needed. Two weeks of sunshine and relaxation in what must be one of the most beautiful islands in the world. 

We can’t wait to go back again in the future. Here’s just a little snippet of our trip.
AD - Press Tickets | We had such a nice day at @na AD - Press Tickets | We had such a nice day at @national_motor_museum despite the rain! The children loved the Little Beaulieu play area and we loved exploring the National Motor Museum and Top Gear exhibit before having a ride on the monorail! We went on an old open topped bus, explored the Beaulieu Manor House and loved the gardens. 
Beaulieu is always a great day out - whatever the weather. This summer they have a whole ‘Summer of Fun’ planned, with activities most days - parades, bird shows and hundreds of sculptures within the grounds too. If you’re looking for a day out this summer definitely think about heading to Beaulieu.
AD - Press Tickets | Tonight we took the kids to t AD - Press Tickets | Tonight we took the kids to their first concert - but it was so much more than just a concert! @abbavoyage is incredible. With CGI ABBA and a live band, it’s like being at an ABBA concert 40 years ago but with modern lighting, effects and sound. ABBA look and sound real, it’s a mind blowing experience.
The set includes all the songs you know and love as well as a few less familiar ones.
You can’t take photos during the show which actually made a refreshing change. A whole arena focused purely on the show and soaking up the moment. It’s definitely something the four of us will always remember.
Now, I’m off to sing Dancing Queen all the way home.
AD - Press Trip | We had such a great day at @phdo AD - Press Trip | We had such a great day at @phdockyard today. They have a fantastic Ultimate Explorer ticket that lets you visit all the attractions as many times as you like for 12 months - and after a day at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard we can see that you need more than one day to really do everything!

We explored HMS Warrior, HMS Victory and the Mary Rose Exhibition - which is incredible! We also saw where ships are built and restored and spent time in Action Stations where the kids climbed and did an assault course.

Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is such a fun, educational day out with something for all ages - we can’t wait to go on their harbour tours next time we visit!

Behaviour Balls Review | AD

*This is a paid post

Now that the children are back to school I’m sure we’re not the only ones trying to get back into a good routine. The last year has been such a strange time and I know that lockdown has brought with it a lot of relaxation.

So now it’s time for us to work on getting back to where we want to be – things like having dinner at the dining table rather than in front of the TV, wearing clothes that aren’t loungewear, getting back into the habit of homework and reinforcing expected behaviours for the children.

Behaviour Balls Review and Giveaway

The rules have relaxed over recent times and with it there have definitely been some bending in behaviour and so when Behaviour Balls invited us to review their product and service it felt like perfect timing and a great opportunity.

What are Behaviour Balls?

Behaviour Balls are a visual behaviour tool to help parents better manage the behaviour of their children. They focus on specific behaviours to start with, working up to bigger goals.

With Behaviour Balls, good behaviour is expected. Unlike other behaviour aids we’ve seen and used in the past – like reward charts, for example – good behaviour isn’t praised with Behaviour Balls, it’s a given. Children should behave well and Behaviour Balls work by focusing on instances of undesirable behaviour rather than rewarding what should be continual positive behaviour.

Behaviour Balls Review and Giveaway

How do Behaviour Balls work?

Behaviour Balls are a very visual system which takes away the need for discussion with children when their behavior isn’t at its best. The main emphasis of Behaviour Balls is that the children start each day or week with a full set of balls and are rewarded for not losing any.

Balls are lost when the child doesn’t do what has been asked of them, and has failed to improve their behaviour during the visual process. This really is where Behavior Balls are a really versatile product. No family will have the same behaviour issues within it, every family and child is different so you make Behaviour Balls work for you.

Behaviour Balls Review and Giveaway

How we used Behaviour Balls

Any regular reader will know that we don’t really have behaviour issues with LP and Little Man – they have always been really well behaved kids. But, that’s not to say there aren’t things that can be improved.

Over lockdown they have both begun a habit where, when asked to do something, they say “can I just…” or “in a minute” – and I know that sounds really minor but it’s something that really niggles as we’ll ask them to help lay the table for dinner and by the time their version of a minute has passed we’ll be sitting down to eat.

So we used Behaviour Balls to focus on this one thing. Could the children do as they were asked, when they were asked and get rewarded for it?

Behaviour Balls Review and Giveaway

How did Behaviour Balls work for us?

Once we introduced Behaviour Balls, we explained to the children how they would work. Behaviour Balls have a fantastic six step process to follow so it’s more than just taking away a ball when the children don’t display desired behaviours.

The children understood the concept of the Behaviour Balls from the start and we alternated using them with LP one day and Little Man the next so they both had the chance to work on their behaviours and continue it even when we weren’t using the Behaviour Balls.

The main aim with Behaviour Balls is not to use them forever but instead to teach the children to remove negative traits from their behaviour so they no longer need Behaviour Balls. But, the balls can be kept and used whenever needed as time goes on.

LP and Little Man both bought into Behaviour Balls from the start and neither wanted to lose their balls. They were kept somewhere they could see them at all times and they both got quite emotional at the thought of losing balls. The balls really symbolised the reward at the end for them.

Behaviour Balls Review and Giveaway

For us, the reward was time on the Nintendo Switch but it could be anything that works for you – FaceTime with a friend, a favourite TV show or getting to pick a family activity. Something that the child wants and will happily work towards.

Because of how invested the children were we found Behaviour Balls to be a really positive experience. They both naturally started doing things when they were asked and we’ve now moved on to focusing on other behaviours.

Behaviour Balls Review and Giveaway

Making Behaviour Balls work for you

Behaviour Balls is fantastic for focusing on specific behaviours. You can’t buy a set and then say to your child to be good. The child needs to know what exactly you mean by being good and it needs to be tailored to their age and really specific too.

As Behaviour Balls is a visual aid it’s great for any age child and it really removes arguments around behaviour. The child knows what is expected of them and when it doesn’t happen, they lose a ball. No discussion is needed which immediately stops anyone arguing. It is what it is.

I would have loved a set when the children were preschoolers and we could have used Behaviour Balls to focus on not throwing their food on the floor, not throwing themselves on the floor in temper or helping to put their toys away.

For slightly older children Behaviour Balls could be used with chores in mind like keeping their room tidy or things like sharing with their siblings, not hitting or not slamming doors.

Even with teenagers you could use Behaviour Balls for things like not swearing, not answering back, doing homework or helping around the house.

Behaviour Balls Review and Giveaway

As you can see, Behaviour Balls are really behaviour specific and work well when you focus on one area at a time. It’s really hard for anyone to change their behaviour when they are just trying to be better or do better but by having clear goals and a clear focus it makes change that much easier.

Behaviour Balls look like a simple concept but, as well as the physical tube of balls, they’re a whole behaviour process that a family can use together. They’re versatile, adaptable and something that any family could use.

I really like Behaviour Balls and would urge any family who have any behaviour issues to give Behaviour Balls a try. They have a fantastic online portal that you get access to when you buy a set of balls that helps you get started, answers questions and is just a fantastic resource.

Behaviour Balls Review and Giveaway

One thing that using the Behaviour Balls Members’ Area online has shown me is that the Behaviour Balls team really want to help people to get to grips with their children’s behaviours and support them through using the balls.

They cover so many different eventualities and situations within the Member’s Area and are always contactable if you need more specific help or advice. There’s so much more to Behaviour Balls than just the set of balls.

Behaviour Balls cost £28.99 (but are currently on offer at £17.40) which includes the set of balls, visual guide and instructions but also individual support and advice and access to the members’ area too. Find out more over on the Behaviour Balls website.

Several families who also have children with additional needs have said that what attracted them to Behaviour Balls was just what you said – the visual nature of them, which worked wonders for them, as it is simple and easy to follow, with the 6 step visual process giving their child time to adjust their behaviour. The visual nature takes away the need for words, which can often fuel a situation. Good luck with the give away.

    Sometimes it’s a good idea, with children who have certain further fences to climb, that they have something to remove the stress of not understanding certain ways of doing something, and need that extra support. It can be stressful and frustrating, so these sound great to reduce the stresses of having issues can cause xx

      The great thing about Behaviour Balls, is they can be used to tackle any particular behaviours that might be an issue at any given time. You work with your child, choosing something of meaning to them, for their daily reward. That way, they want to keep their Behaviour Balls. The 6 step process you go through, before a ball is lost, allows plenty of time for them to stop / change / improve their behaviour. They worked wonders for my youngest, when nothing else did. The Members’ Area has lots of great information, and I offer help too as you get started with them. Good luck with the give away. Nikki (Behaviour Balls)

When I trialled them with volunteer families, they were amazed by how effective they were. They can be used for any behaviour issues you might be faced with, and can be adapted in their use as the child grows. Lots of great tips and ideas for use are found within our Members’ Area.

      Dear Nicola
      The visual nature of Behaviour Balls have proved great for many children, especially those with autism. My youngest wasn’t bothered with reward charts or stickers either, and would take himself to the naughty step! This is how I came up with the idea of Behaviour Balls…. and 4 years later they’re still working on him! Good luck with the give away, but if you’re not successful, I hope you’ll consider getting a set. Best wishes, Nikki (Behaviour Balls)

      Dear Adrian,
      What a wonderful idea. Our SENCO at my school loves the approach, and has suggested using them with several of our SEN children. So, good luck with the give away, but if you’re not successful, I hope you or your sister might get in touch anyway.
      Best wishes,

      That’s the great thing about Behaviour Balls – they take away the need for words. Once the first verbal warning is given, the rest of the steps are purely visual. Good luck with the give away, but if you’re not successful, I hope you’ll consider using us anyway.

    I would love them for my autistic son he is almost 13. It would definitely make a better way of communicating and much more visual rather than turning off the wifi or take electronics off him for the day and get all the unpleasant behaviour that comes from the video going off because he cant find the same one again and having to have drastic consequences when he refuses to do any chores or refusing to do his personal care. He is very forgetful and easily distracted so when asking him to do things he forgets and the visual aid will help much more I think. It’s the first time I’ve come across these. They would also come in handy for my 8mth old when she’s a little older 😀 I’m sure we would get some good use out of them x

      Dear Maria
      Behaviour Balls would be great for your family – the visual nature is what works so well with children, and even more so for those with autism. I only launched the product at the end of last year, so Behaviour Balls isn’t well known yet! Good luck with the give away, but if you’re not successful, I hope you’ll consider getting a set.

      Dear Pete
      The visual nature of Behaviour Balls works well with all children, however I know parents of children with autism have really liked this approach. The visual nature is simple, clear and easy to follow, and their children have responded really well to them. Good luck with the give away, but if you’re not successful, I hope you’ll consider getting a set.

      Dear Patricia
      That’s a great idea to get a set for your grandson. Behaviour Balls is a fresh, new approach to behaviour, so not many people have heard of them yet! Good luck with the give away, but if you’re not successful, I hope you’ll consider getting a set still.

      Dear Susan
      The great thing is that you can tailor each set to each child, so that they’re of meaning to all of them, no matter what their age. I only launched the product last year, but people are finding them great and word is slowly getting out there! Good luck with the give away, but if you’re not successful, I hope you’ll consider getting a set anyway.

    My 10 year has Down’s Syndrome and profound learning difficulties, our life is dictated by his need for structure & routine, home schooling has proved to be hugely beneficial to him, removing the anxieties of school has made his days much more pleasant, (so much so we’ve decided to do it full time from September). Sensory stimulation is crucial as a teaching element and we’re always looking for new things to introduce & do. These behaviour balls would be utilised as part of our reward programme but could also be adapted for so many lifeskill challenges for him. Thanks for introducing these to us, we didn’t even know they existed!

      Dear Fiona
      Behaviour Balls only launched last year, and so we’re gradually getting heard about! Donna wrote a fabulous review having trialled them, so hopefully this will help spread the word! Behaviour Balls are great in so many ways, and their visual nature is what appeals to so many. I agree that they could really help you in so many ways, so I hope you still think about using them if you’re not successful with the give away.
      Best wishes
