Ever wondered whether you’ll ever crack this parenting business?
Yes I am truly blessed to be the proud mother of Sacha, age 7 (going on 15) and Elise, age 5 (and a half!) who'se latest idea is to have a totally black bedroom and I don't know about fellow parents, but I am permanently feeling guilty about something or another when my children are concerned.
Whether I worry about developing their self-confidence and self esteem or I feel like I permanently hit a brick wall when I try to communicate with them and they won't listen... there's always something.
That's not helped by the fact that, as a working mother (ooh the guilt attached to those 2 little words is immense!), I feel stressed and tired at the end of most days.
Let’s face it, being a parent is not easy – in fact it’s tough, because kids don’t come with a handbook and how many of us are completely confident in their parenting skills?
We know that communicating with our little angels (hmm hmm), whatever their age and instilling discipline is what we *should* do - reality in my household is another matter!
I think I have found the perfect place to help me though.... Sue Atkins' workshop.
Never attendeed one before but the wonderful testimonials she gets have intrigued me enough to make me want to look into them in more details!
All I know is that if I attend, I'll have fun, I won't be judged or criticised and I'll go away with practical ideas to help me move forward, which will make a big difference to my family life... Sacha and Elise watch out! The workshop is called 'How to succeed as a BRILLIANT Parent'!
