I have no major childcare qualifications, I used to Child mind and did some courses but do not pretend to actually know anything about Kids, I just know my children one of whom has Special Needs.  This is about things we’ve been through, maybe you have too or maybe you will one day.

I want to share the coping techniques I learned in all sorts of situations that our little Angels thrust upon us, often without warning and I'd love you to share yours too!

My kids arrived without instruction books, or even lists of numbered parts, I was sure there should be a users manual if nothing else  but as a lot of parents find out - this seems to be missing.   Maybe we should write our own!

It’s not easy being a parent, non-parents and professionals give their advice that works in a perfect world, or sadly a diagnosis and leave you to get on with it.   There is help out there but it can be hard to admit you need it, find it  or implement it.

There are so many little stories I want to share with you, so many ideas and approaches to different experiences of life with a child experiencing difficulties. What works, what didn’t work for us but might work for you, how to get through any  bad days and keep good days on track.

Memories of difficult situations, how we muddle through  them, what we try, how we all feel.   The frustrations of knowing that Little Angel will pull round and all those moaning people are wrong and the pain of realising that just maybe they could be a tiny bit right. The horrors at 3am when you wake in a sweat wondering if it’s how you treat your  kids that makes them behave this way. The fear of leaving the room before the younger one can defend himself; the fear for the room later when they join forces. The laughter, fun and fights, goodness and guilt, unconditional love and the hope for a better day, the damage to our homes, health and some days our relationships. Basically the good and bad that every family experiences but with a twist of lemon and an extra serving of laughter.

Want to jump on a roller coaster ride of emotions and experiences that no-one ever warns you about before you become a parent?

Come on, let's surf the Rainbow of Family Life Together!
