Building Strong Relationships for a Lifetime:

Essential Tips for Connecting with Your Child

Whilst it might sound counterintuitive, connection time helps children to play more independently. When we are intentional about our days and how we carve out those precious hours within the day, everyone in the family wins.

As parents we have never been more aware of what everyone else is doing - or at least, we have an awareness of what we *think* everyone is doing. We’re all now well aware that people post their highlight reel to social media feeds, but the feeling of ‘keeping up with the Jones’ still lingers.

Should you paint your nursery beige? Become a ‘crunchy mum’ or go full-on Montessori? Well, the truth is, you can do all of those things *IF* that is something you feel passionate about. Ultimately, you need to live your purpose.
