I started training adults and children in communication, conflict management and leadership skills in 1997.

In 2002, I completed courses on child and teenage behaviour and qualified as a facilitator. Soon after, I had the opportunity to put the information into practice personally. I found that the practical took more work and commitment than I'd been led to believe.

Both my girls were born in England and the family moved to New Zealand only a few years later, in search of new opportunities. Two years after emigrating I lost her mother to Cancer and found myself moved in more emotional ways.

This book looks at your child's and your requirements when moving through emotional times. Especially those encountered during these formative years and when moving country. It reviews how these emotions not only affect you as a parent, but your child as well.
