Tomorrow is World Mental Health Day 💚

This year’s theme is “Lived experiences: heard, real voices, real change.”
We wanted to take this opportunity to highlight The Parenting Space Podcast, which was co-created and co-produced with parents and practitioners from our community, bringing together real experiences and practical parenting advice.
This clip is from Episode 1: The Good Enough Parent, which explores the pressure to be a “perfect” parent and the importance of having realistic expectations and being kind to ourselves.

As our children grow, their need for independence grows too. The goal isn't to know everything about their lives. It's to create a relationship where they want to tell you.

Watching your child leave for university can bring a mix of pride, excitement, and loss.
