"To a child, the relationship is all. An infant who has secure, loving relationships with one, two or three significant adults is likely to thrive. So finding a healthy way to communicate and resolve issues and accept differences of opinion is vital in providing a stable home environment."

A: If there was only one way to be a parent, it would be easy. You could hand over responsibility to chosen caregivers with a few simple instructions and get on with your day. If you’re fortunate, those who spend significant time with your children will have a similar approach to you or will have ...

Do you use your local library? - https://mailchi.mp/c1e574165179/friday-19-jul-1758319

How do you feel about your local library? 📚

In this article, Florrie Cassell shares her experience and what she loves about Danish libraries...

"In England, visits to the local library with my children were brief. We’d dash in, attend a rhyme time session, select a couple of books, and be out the door within 20 minutes. Any need for a snack or a run about prompted a swift exit, and there might have been somewhere to change a nappy, but I never found it."

When we hear about childhood in Denmark, it is often with descriptions of children dressed in rain suits, freely exploring woodlands and whittling with sharp knives beside campfires. There are stories of babies peacefully sleeping in prams, unfazed by snow and subzero temperatures. It’s all true. ...

🧡🧡🧡

In honor of my mom on her birthday. She packed so much love and nurture into her 43 years. The day she died she spoke through tears about how much she loved being a mom and wanted to be a grandma. And that she wished she would've felt the freedom to play more. I am carrying the torch of her dreams and prayerfully living them out in honor of her. 🌙😘

"Jumping in puddles, climbing rocks, swinging from trees is what lights these young humans up. Messy hair, muddy feet, squeals of joy and screams of excitement are commonplace. You might have one of these wildlings at home. I know some who are positively feral." 💚

As a picture book author-illustrator, I am always subconsciously looking for another story or image. I try to look for something that speaks to me, ideally something that grabs me and ignites enough interest and passion to convert it into words and art. Usually, it hits when I least expect it, as wi...

How to Raise a Teen: A guide for parents of thirteen to twenty-one-year-olds

08/07/2024

"Teenagers enjoy humour, and they tend to respect it. My husband has a great repertoire of funny responses for challenging moments. As a response to raised voices by our teenagers, he replies: “I can’t hear you! Say it louder!” To avoidance of tasks, especially the dishwasher, he sits on them and apologises: “Sorry, I didn’t realise you were there. I thought you were emptying the dishwasher!” To my daughter’s teenage moods, he grabs and squeezes a giggle out of her!"

I’m not telling you it is going to be easy. I’m telling you it is going to be worth it. Anon I love this quote. It directly relates to parenting teenagers. I’m in the midst of this journey, with a 16-year-old son and a 14-year-old-daughter. I am a Rudolf Steiner teacher and a parenting author....

🤍Appeal for milk donors in Norfolk! If you have breast milk which is surplus to your own baby’s needs and you are a non-smoker, your extra milk could be donated to help sick, premature babies in hospital neonatal intensive care units, where every drop can make a difference and can help save lives. ❤️We’re particularly in need of milk donors across the county of Norfolk so please do share this post with any local contacts and groups in the region. Taking the time to become a milk donor is an amazing step - you could be changing the lives of a tiny baby and their family forever. If you can help please email [email protected]. Find out more on our milk donors page - https://bit.ly/3IwzOsl 🙏🏻

"Creativity is at the centre of our nature. Some people have been led to believe they are not creative, either through their education or upbringing, but it’s not true. It’s our superpower. Let’s celebrate and embrace this. And it isn’t just about painting." 🧡

Lizzie Mae Smith - Beautiful Colourful Menopause

My reflections in this issue stem from helping with the Art on the Hill trail in Bristol. At last year’s event, it was wonderful to feel such a buzz in the community. After Covid and lockdowns and all the ensuing fallout, perhaps some of the excitement came from the relief that we could all be par...

"Try to let go of ‘should’, ‘ought to’ and ‘must’. Expectations of how you should be feeling or functioning as a couple need to be set aside. Loading expectations on yourselves will make it worse. Expectation is the mother of resentment."

Sands, the stillbirth & neonatal death charity

In the UK, it is estimated that one in four pregnancies end in loss during pregnancy or birth.1 Attention tends to be focused on the woman who has experienced the physical loss, and men’s grief often takes a back seat to the expectation that they support their partner. However, men also experience...
