It will get them further in life than any qualification and is absolutely possible for each and every child; we just need the right information and support around us to teach them.The old saying it takes a village to raise a child couldnt be more true than now. Parenting has got a whole lot harder; not just because we are busier than ever but because our children are growing up in an ever changing, fast-paced world, which is so different to the one we grew up in. Our children have more pressure to be better, look better, do better, and in a world where lives are so publicly scrutinised and commented on through social media its really no wonder were seeing mental health problems sky rocketing amongst children, teens, and young adults. What you can expect from this podcast are honest conversations about parenting.Well talk confidence resilience, anxiety, managing tech, and all the topics youd expect as well blowing the lid off the widely help misconception that children are innately resilient. Theyre not!This podcast is for people who want to get real about parenting. You understand it can get messy sometimes and arent afraid to admit it. I have had more than my fair share of messy and I will no doubt share these with you along the way. I wont dress things up but I will always give you something practical to take away and use in each and every episode.
