KRISSY'S ROUNDTABLE

Stop Buying Your Kids Everything. Give Them 10 Minutes a Night Instead

KRISSY'S ROUNDTABLE

Show Notes

You can give your kid every label, every PlayStation... and still hand them anxiety by 11.

Krissy goes off on the thing she sees every day. The toddler screaming on the supermarket floor while the parent caves. The Gucci shoes on Mufti day. The kids handed a tap-and-go card who then have zero drive.

Here is the real secret to a happier, more secure child, and it is not toys. It is boundaries, consistency, and the one thing she did even when stretched to the max... 10 minutes of proper time with each kid, every night.

What you'll get: • Why overindulgence breeds anxiety, not happiness • The 10-minute-a-night habit that actually works • How a bit of struggle builds resilience • Why consistency is the kindest thing you can do

What happens when the faithfuls, not the traitors, are the ones who send you home? Australian Idol's Cosima De Vito walked into the manor with a commerce degree, her own record label and no game plan, having never watched a single episode. Three days later she was banished. Cosima reveals why she gravitated to Dicko the second he stepped out of the car, the breakfast where she "became all wog on everyone", the moment she found out it was the faithfuls who kept Cam Merchant out for the money, and why she could not play the game after that. Krissy Marsh was at that table too, and admits she clocked Kirby Bentley on day one and was ready to write her name down. Together they break down what it actually takes to be a traitor: a poker face, a bit of an arsehole, and the way Kirby meets every person at their level so nobody ever feels played. Plus, why Cosima could never vote against Dicko or Rob Farnham, the Rachael Evren run-in that had Krissy fighting for her life, what her daughter Amelia said when she got home, and the day she said no to The Voice.
