The Joy of Parenting?

Modern parenting has become hard work – extremely hard work.

Time constraints, work, activities, stress and exhaustion lead to parents feeling guilty that they are not providing their children with a joyful experience.

But what about you?  Don’t you deserve some joy?

Jennifer Senior is an author and journalist and has written a bestselling book titled All Joy and No Fun – The Paradox of Modern Parenting.

This morning Jennifer and myself were interviewed on ABC Radio National to discuss the pressures of being a modern parent.

If you want an easier time and more joy, I am running a one day workshop on the 5th April called Joyful Parenting – you’ll learn how to let go of expectations, have an easier time and connect with your children in a way that reduces the need for you to focus on them exclusively.
