Here we will be talking all things modern parenting, from baby and toddler sleep to self-development and growth. We will be having those raw, honest conversations that mums don’t often get a chance to have in the playground and we will be searching for those moments where we find connection through shared experiences.

In this episode, Sophie and I discuss how parenting has changed over time and what that can look like in school, how schools have adapted to give children the best start, what parents can do to prepare their child for starting school and the changes that you might see in your child when they start school. We also discuss what your child will be doing all day and try and reassure parents that early years teachers are very skilled at what they do and it is going to be OK!
I share my feelings about Betsy starting school this year and my worries for her as an end of August baby.
Thanks so much for listening everybody. It really means the world.
Please share your feedback!
Lots of love
