How Not To Be A Dickhead Parent (Part One)
<p>Parenting doesn't come with a manual.Unfortunately, it comes with Facebook groups.Together we're unpacking the parenting lessons that actually matter (and a few that might ruffle some feathers). From tiger parenting and Year 12 pressure, to drinking, drugs, sex, school, food, resilience and why your child doesn't need to be captain of absolutely everything.Because raising happy, capable adults isn't about creating a perfect childhood.It's about knowing when to push... when to let go... and when to simply say, "You'll survive."We also talk about why children don't need parents living through them, why it's okay for kids to quit after they've genuinely given something a go, how to have honest conversations about alcohol, drugs and sex, and why teaching your kids to laugh at themselves might be one of the greatest gifts you can give them.And yes... we also discuss Year 7 Tansy secretly smoking one of Kate's cigarettes with a nip of limoncello.As you do.Whether you're raising toddlers, teenagers, or fully-grown adult children who still ring to ask where the tomato sauce is...This one's for you.Part 2 next week!#TheBluntAndTheBeautiful #Parenting #ParentingAdvice #HowNotToBeADickheadParent #RaisingKids</p>
