2022/07/27

Today’s episode “We Need To Talk’ is all about how we can have meaningful conversations with our children and teens.

Whether that’s talking about big things such as sex, boyfriends and worries or everyday conversations about using their voice, kindness, compassion.These conversations are probably more important, more impactful, and more character building for our children than any

How Not to Screw Up Your Kids ·

2022/07/06

It is estimated 1.25 million people have an eating disorder in the U.K. and the data is pretty similar worldwide.

These are all incredible parents, wonderful parents in fact who have a great relationship with their children. They talk a lot and they thought they had several years yet before they had to have that difficult
