Hello everyone!

This time of year, many parents/ carers are trying to figure out how they will cover childcare over the long summer holiday. Asking grandparents and other relatives to help sounds like the perfect solution, but differences in parenting approaches can make it a challenging time for everyone.

There is a new Quick Read blog post on the ‘My Family Coach’ website discussing ways to help different generations find compromises and work together: Childcare During School Holidays: Using Family Support. They also have a new parent/carer class on Thursday 21st September, 7.30pm. It’s is free to register and attend:

Building Stronger Communication with Your Child – perfect if every conversation seems to become an argument, or if you feel your child ignores everything you say.

Hope you have a great Summer!
