Peace Talks

Do you worry that you are missing the the precious ordinary moments of your child's life because you are distracted?

I'm going to give you four really practical steps to come out of this daily fog and reclaim your presence - even in the middle of the chaos of family life, even if it feels too difficult, even if no one was ever present with you.

Does parenting touch pain in you that you didn’t realise was there? Have you ever wondered why? What is the relationship between our daily struggles with our children and the challenges we experienced in our own childhoods? Why does the parenting journey seem to so frequently rub against the pain from our past? And what can we realistically do to work through this…while also continuing to get out of bed each morning and “function” as parents?

Here is the full recording of my kōrero with Frian Wadia, where we chat about all of this and more: https://youtu.be/-TGo5g-o5dY?si=no5mZ20c6me3a8I9
