Overheard in a large store in Telford last week. Come on, let's knock 'em over Jim. A young father encouraging his small boy to leave behind the engaging toys. Parents as mates, parents as big friends and parents who protect. Parents who parent in a radically different way. Gone the authority figure, or only brought out when really needed. No better no worse a way, just different. If there is love and respect and tenderness parenting works, not and there is a struggle.
Knock 'em over Jazzy. No struggles and be careful out there this winter.
