Do you consider addictions as something that happens to other people, do you struggle with your own? Addictions are more common than we see

Have you ever thought about how much we communicate and the impact it might have?

Ahoy, me hearties! Talk like a pirate day is upon us - time for some playful parenting... You may have noticed that parenting can...

It is time we empower our children to say 'No' to fitting in, to say 'No' to the bullies and 'Yes' to embracing you they are.

We may not tell boys explicitly, but with all our actions they learn what is acceptable and what is not from what we model.

It is time to disassemble the 'tough guy' myth that is causing so much harm to a man's mental and physical health.

Getting our period is as natural as breathing, so why do we make it something separate that needs its own special moment? ​

Do we ever wonder what it is that our children see when they look at us? 

Appreciation is not about doing and achieving, what if our biggest priority, is to raise kids to be more than what they do or achieve?

Accepting that you are innately tender, sensitive and caring does not make you weak, it means you have the strength to stand by your values

We are often not aware of criticism when it comes out of our mouths or is communicated through our movements.

The key here is not to treat schools as your adversary when it comes to communication and advocacy, but as co-collaborators

We fall into a pattern of looking for what’s wrong instead of appreciating this amazing person who came into our lives.

Parenting can be an amazing process that supports our children to learn respectful and responsible forms of behaviour and communication.

Are rules ways of controlling what would otherwise be a wayward child could there a better approach using standards and boundaries?

A child without boundaries can living with a constant level of stress that exhibits in challenging and often out of control behaviours

Chores are not cheap labour. We are training our children to be independent so it is our job to share how to look after themselves.

Clearly trust is a precious commodity and one we can teach ourselves and our children to nurture through our lives.
