All parents want to do their best, but there’s so much contradictory, confusing and complicated info it’s hard to know what ‘best’ even means! Hosted by Jen (RN & Midwife) and Hannah (Occupational Therapist) from Ngala - WA's Leading Parenting Organisation - each episode brings in a Ngala professional to share the latest evidence-informed parenting practices and offer practical and realistic support on the major topics that keep parents awake at night (literally!). There’s no judgement, no blame, and no shying away from the real challenges all parents face in their quest to do their best.
