Pandemic fatigue: Parents, are you ok?

Pandemic fatigue has become so ubiquitous that it even has its own Wikipedia page. We’re in our 3rd year of this pandemic and, whether we like it or not (I’m pretty sure most of us are in the ‘not’ camp at this point!), things aren’t really easing up.

How to help your child with winning and losing

How many of us have let our little ones win to make them feel good about themselves? Or just to avoid a major meltdown? Guilty! But it turns out that’s actually not doing them any favours in the long run. Because losing (or losing gracefully) takes practice and children need a safe environment in which to learn.

Anything is possible…

We shouldn’t underestimate the power of 10 minutes – because as parents, those 10 minutes of cuddles in bed, 10 minutes of talking around the dining table or 10 minutes of playtime can make ALL the difference to our little one’s day.
