"May you live in interesting times” is a well-known phrase, which is apt right now.

As the measures to minimise the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to unfold it’s evident that our lives will be turned upside down for some time to come. 2020 will be a year that we remember for the rest of our lives.

With more than 20 years’ experience helping parents, schools and education staff via our parenting resources, courses, presentations, seminars, school memberships and professional learning, we are well placed to assist your parenting journey in these difficult times.

As anxiety levels are high in the community, we’ve gathered a number of articles to assist your family. We have also included some responsibility development, independence-building and sibling rivalry resources which may become relevant during extended periods of time at home with the family.

Behind every difficulty lies and opportunity. Stay safe, stay well. Enjoy the learning.
