I am talking all about what we can do when we’re expecting the arrival of our child - however we find ourselves embarking on the journey to parenting. 

It's also supremely relevant for all the other stages of our children's lives as they reach them -as these are another birth - walking, talking, preschool, school, university, first job, leaving home...

My six pointers will help keep you grounded and sane.

Here are the highlights: 

(01:14) Parents-to-Be consume information by the barrel load 

(05:13) Read about different milestones, not just birth 

(08:02) Parenting isn’t black and white 

(11:12) It’s always messier than you expect! 

(14:16) Don’t fall into this parenting trap... 

(16:46) The right time to have difficult conversations with partners 

(20:36) Make sure communication with co-parents is open and often 

(23:17) Different do what they see, not what we say 

(26:32) Self-care is critical 

(30:22) Every child develops and adapts uniquely
