Parenting is the most personal thing you can do, it is the ultimate job, and as such training helps you better understand yourself and your child.

 

I count myself lucky that I was fortunate to be trained as a parenting facilitator before I had children.

I soon found out that the calmly though out plans into action was at times much harder than I thought.

 

After losing my mother to cancer I decided to start recording my experiences and ideas, to provide a record for my two girls and as encouragement to others.

 

Though the books follow my girls through different ages and stages, there are concepts which crop up in later books which would have been useful to know earlier, and guidelines in earlier books which really help provide refocus when parenting the older versions.

 

The world we live in is constantly changing but learning how to communicate, build resilience, make memories and overall cope with the personal nature of the role is vital.
