During my many years working in childcare and more recently with baby massage I've noticed many changes in the way people bring up their children.

Many of these trends are of course due to people being time poor, with both parents needing to work full-time in many households.

I am very concerned with a lot of the trends I see and I've dedicated this episode to this topic, since I feel very strongly about it. It is extremely important that parents set out clear boundaries for their children and show them how to operate within them.

This impacts their life in so many ways and it's important that this begins from day one! In this episode I talk about topics including:-

• Teaching our children respect from an early age.
• Avoiding an over reliance on television, computer games and other technology to entertain our children.
• Putting our children's needs before our own!

Check it out because I give you lots of suggestions on alternatives that I've used and seen used by others which are extremely effective.
