As my daughter reminded me this morning, in years to come we will be quoted in history books… so I want to do what I can to help parents in parenting their children over the coming weeks and months.

If you are anything like me, one minute I’m optimistic that things will be okay and the next starting to catastrophise. It is a strange time for all of us so over the coming days and weeks I will be offering more support, including free webinars, daily top tips etc. Please let me know what you would find helpful.

I usually work with parents of children aged 8-19 years but happy to help any parent if I can.

This morning set up a new Facebook group for parents (Coronavirus Parenting Support Group), to join go to:

Tonight I am doing a live Facebook session from my FB page at 8 PM, anyone can join:

We didn’t think we would be here even a week ago but, we are and many of our children are anxious and worried so it is even more important that we do what we can to provide a safe place for them at home.  I know the next few weeks and months are going to be challenging but, supporting each other, we might surprise ourselves!
