It’s Never Too Late

June 22, 2012

A paediatrician once said to me: “It doesn’t matter how your daughter’s behavioural issues came to be, all that matters is what you do for her NOW”. Those words have stayed with me for the past 2 years. I’ve always been someone who tackles problems head on. I like to seek out the cause of things… Read More It’s Never Too Late

March 13, 2012

It is often commonplace to associate parenting with nappies, feeds, and the endless amount of toys. But there is so much more to parenting than that. For me, being a parent is about maintaining a child’s innocence, while at the same time, shaping who they later become in life. I am often complimented on how well-behaved… Read More What It Really Means to Be a Parent
