Welcome to This Glorious Mess Big Kids. A twice-weekly look at parenting as it really is. Confusing, exhausting, inspiring, funny, and full of surprises. So many surprises.

If you aren't a First Nations person how can you help your kids become good allies? 

Mitch Tambo is a performer, presenter, proud Gamilaraay Man, stepfather, UNICEF ambassador. And he thinks the answer to healing our country is through music. Through the power of performance, Mitch hopes our kids embrace not only his culture but their own. So what can we learn from him and his music this NAIDOC week? 

Plus on parenting mentors, what if you have the perfect child in every way, but you still get a little disappointed when they don't get outstanding grades?
