Welcome to LaLa’s House with Lara Chaplin, Children’s Behaviour and Sleep Coach

Lara Chaplin

Hi! My name is Lara, a mum of 3 aged between 13 years and 1 year, 1 girl, 2 boys to be exact. I have worked with children on and off since having my first child and am currently working as a childminder in Chinnor. 

2020 has been a year no one ever expected and many of us have, once more, had to reinvent ourselves to fit around our new way of family life. Lets face it, becoming a parent is an earth shattering event as it is! Throw in a global pandemic and all of a sudden you have seasoned parents clawing at the skirting boards and hanging on by a thread to what is left of their sanity! As for any new parents this year! How are you?

Challenges have smacked us all in the face like every single member of Chinnor Youth FC taking a hit at you with all your limbs tied! All you 

can do is stand there and wait for some of the balls to fly by and others to clout you clean in the face!  Mental health has taken a nose dive, our children’s development has been put on hold, online business is soring and we are all appreciating the little things in life so much more. 

Lalas House sprung from deep inside me. I have always been passionate about strong willed, healthy (both physically and mentally), well balanced children. Who can grow up to take on the world, but be polite and appreciative while doing it. Teach them that the world doesn’t owe them anything, but they can change the world if they so wish! 

I began researching into the developing brain and at what stages each “part” comes into effect and can help us and our children connect. The brain is such a powerful organ, developing a child is developing the child’s brain. It (you) mould their beliefs, understanding and opinions. How they deal with and react to particular situations. By understanding the brain and its functionality we can determine the difference between 2 main forms of tantrum and deal with them accordingly. 

Over the coming 3 issues I will be touching on each area of my coaching, Potty Training, Toddler Sleep Training, Behaviour, Picky Eaters & Dummies.

So many challenges have come out of 2020 for many. Our children have become feral, snack monsters. Our adult advent calendars are bottles of wine and random things we find in the kitchen cupboards. Regaining some control over ourselves and therefore our children’s health will help us all put 2020 where it needs to be, in the past. 

Lalas House has tried and tested methods in all areas of support. It is not and will never be a “one size fits all” job. Every child is unique and will be treated as such. 

Much Love, Lara

Hello Readers, Welcome to the April 2024 Issue of Look Local Magazine. Spring has officially sprung, the daffodils are blooming in abundance and lighter evenings are here once again. I am really looking forward to getting out and about around the local area with the kids this Easter holidays. First up we plan to take a trip to Oxford on the bus to explore the Natural History Museum which is FREE to enter. Throughout the Easter holidays you can take part in an eggciting family trail. Eggsplore the Eggstraordinary Easter Family Trail around the museum to find all the hidden eggswhilst discovering fun natural history facts and themed specimens! The museum also hosts Science Saturdays where you have the opportunity to dive into the ocean world with themed crafts and ‘meet the scientists’ sessions. Waddesdon Manor’s annual Easter Adventure is on until 14th April and Waterperry Gardens are hosting a Hunt around the ornamental gardens. It costs £3.95 per child with a prize - check out their website for more info. There are lots of other cute little Easter trails taking place locally that I have seen pop up on Social Media - keep a eye out on our Facebook & Insta Pages as I will share any that I see. For any little train enthusiasts, Chinnor & Princes Risborough Railways, ‘Kids travel for a quid’ initiative is back! See more information about this and their other upcoming events on page 15. And for those who have work commitments during the Easter Holidays and are looking to book your little people into some enjoyable clubs, I came across a brand new one that’s coming to Thame and Haddenham called The Outdoors Project (www.theoutdoorsproject.co.uk/aylesbury-thame/). They provide 100% outdoor adventures for years 1 to 6, which run throughout the Easter and Summer holidays. There’s also two competitions to enjoy this month, our regular Thame Players Theatre competition is on page 19 and there also a chance to win tickets to this year Abingdon Air & Country Show on page 14. Until next month, enjoy readingLove Emmax...#whatsgoingoninoxfordshire #looklocalmagazine #advertiselocal #supportsmallbusinessess #smallbusinesssupport #looklocal #smallbusinessesinoxfordshire #looklocalmagazineoxfordshire #localmagazineoxfordshire #oxfordshiremagazine #localmagazine #supportlocalbusiness #supportlocalbusinesses #supportlocal ...
