How often do we hear the words, “It’s not fair,” and actually agree that it is true? Life is not fair and we have to face many difficult situations but we have to make the best of it, don’t we? This month the articles in Your Child in Hume have a focus on helping us to look after ourselves and our children in tough times. All Mums know how hard it is to find time for themselves but our article, ‘Fill your cup one drop at a time’, reminds us that we really do need to look after ourselves if we want to be able to look after our families well. Teenagers also need to learn to cope with the difficulties of life and looking for work and you may be interested in sharing with them the advice in ‘Rules of Life for Teenagers’ and ‘Helping Your Teenager get a Job.’ If you have worries about what your children see on the screen, you may appreciate ‘Talking to Kids about Scary Stuff in the News and ‘Protecting Kids Online.’ Please let me know if there are any special events coming up in your area which you would like me to promote. Enjoy the glories of the garden this month, especially the roses.
