Parental Support in general Reviews

I too agree that being a parent is the most joyful, frustrating, exciting, tiring, soul rewarding, painful experiences there is. I guess from that list you get my drift. It's hard! Someone said to me many years ago that it doesn't get easier it just changes and I remember thinking how very negative they were and how depressing that ...  Read the complete review

Becoming a parent is, I am sure most people who have been through it would agree, one of the most steep learning curves you will go through ever. It is amazing and humbling in equal degrees and full of suprises and the harsh discovery that you will end up saying all those things your mum used to say and no, you won't be perfect all the ...  Read the complete review

This review is about the support that is available to new parents and how I felt about the support I had. As a new mum (my son is 4 months old) I found that there was a mixture of support available. Sometimes I felt totally alone, other times I felt as though there was so many opportunities for support that I just did not have time to ...  Read the complete review

As a parent myself, I know how important it is to feel that you have parental support. Sadly I have never had alot of support. My Husband does what he can, but he is self employed and works all the hours. So the parenting bit is left mainly to me. I have a one year old son, who has been a challenge at times, but luckily for me he is a very happy ...  Read the complete review

PROUD TO BE A HOUSEWIFE/HUSBAND? Is it time mothers can once again say with pride that we are a housewife and mother, or for the father to say he is a househusband. There is nothing at all to be ashamed of in doing a good job of staying at home and looking after your family if that is your choice. Quality time would then be just that ...  Read the complete review

We started using this method on our two girls quite recently and it really does work. Our kids used to leave the house in a complete mess every night after coming home from nursery and playing with their toys.

I was caned and leathered growing up.Most of it was negative.However I consider smacking should be used as a last resort.

If children are treated fairly, listened to and have things fully explained to them ...  Read the complete review
