My view of children...
-
Bundles of joy awaiting their very own, beautiful, bountiful, wondrous unfolding towards their unique, life-giving potential
-
Being delightfully in tune with their wiring/their need to be embedded in safe, loving respectful relationships for this delicate unfolding to occur
-
Being instinctively driven to ensure they receive this love and security, in the best way that they can.
I see children as...

My view of teenagers...
I see teenagers as experiencing...
-
A time of noticing, working out, exploring and often struggling with their unique unfolding
-
A time of grappling with ideas, beliefs and values
-
A time of feeling vulnerable as they emerge as their own person
-
A time of temptation to soothe the discomfort of this process and become 'like others' rather than unique in themselves
-
A time of much needed space and nurture, of courage and understanding to step out with solidity in all their uniqueness.

My view of the role of parents...
I see parents as -
-
Being uniquely positioned to being able to meet their children's needs
-
Having the greatest opportunity to allow their beautiful, unique unfolding to occur.
-
Remarkable facilitators of mental well being, emotional health and resilience
-
Potentially having the hardest and most rewarding job that life can offer
-
The best source of protection of the development of their child's self esteem.
