Listen Later

Child psychotherapist and podcaster Dr Joanna Fortune and ieParenting editor Irene Feighan discuss the dynamics of school gate relationships and playdates.  Whether they are casual connections or the beginnings of a deeper friendship, relationships with other parents can help us navigate the early school years.
