“Sextortion is huge, it’s a massive problem”. “In my 30 years of policing, I’ve never seen a crime type that is tipping previously mentally well young people into a crisis as quickly as sextortion does”, Sarah Mclean (Australia’s first cyber cop) said.

Think about your childhood and the parenting you received. For each of us there are choices our parents made & actions they chose that we would never make ourselves.  On the flip side we all have parts of our childhood that we want our children to receive too. Today we ask each other some critical parenting questions. Which parenting choices made by your mum or dad have you chosen to not repeat (break the cycle of) with your kids? Why? What are you choosing instead? Which...

We’ve all heard of 'mum guilt' and, to a lesser extent 'dad guilt'. But who has stopped to assess the guilt held in our children? Whether they’ve made a mistake, not lived up to an expectation, let us down or felt like they’ve been mean or uncaring, silently holding guilt inside and managing it alone without any tools can really be heavy on our kids. Let’s unpack this important topic, plus kids love languages, the importance of mutual respect and holding strong boundaries.  We’re going...

It really focused on enjoying your food more often,...
