    Informative
    As a parent of two little ones I really connected with what was discussed in the introductory episode to this series and found it very informative and supportive. I look forward to listening to the rest of the episodes for more tips!
  • nlam12345
    A great resource
    As a parent of two young children, I can definitely relate to a lot of the stories and examples they give. It is reassuring that there is no ‘perfect’ parent-child relationship, and informative in ways to deal with everyday parenting issues.
  • zack5555
    Very interesting approach to parenting
    First two episodes really set the tone on what is going to be discussed in the podcast and I feel the information is really useful. Looking forward to the new episodes.

    Very informative
    I thought it was a great introduction to a podcast series. Really informative for first time parents but also for those who’ve already got children. I look forward to more tips and tricks to make parenting just a little less stressful.
