A peek into Montessori at home with my teenagers (which turns out to have a lot in common with toddlers)

As I’ve parented two children into the teenage years, what has always helped me is hearing about how others have navigated the years ahead long before I was at this stage. So I thought it might be useful to share my experience navigating life with teenagers to remind you that it’s the long game we are playing in parenting; to stand up for teenagers that they are delightful to be around if sometimes a little volatile (sound familiar parents of toddlers?); and to let you know that it will be … [Read more...] about A peek into Montessori at home with my teenagers (which turns out to have a lot in common with toddlers)

There are many family constellations. Ours is not so different.

Families come in all types of constellations. This is totally normal these days. So I wonder why I skirt around the issue. When I was 25 I was living in London and fell in love with a Welsh man. I was moving back to Australia to spend more time with my family and he came too. We were married within 6 months and people thought this would never last.
