Parent Stories

“For the first time I don't feel like I need to turn every moment into a lesson.”

“It has changed the questions we ask our child more than the answers we expect from her.”

“What I appreciate most is that nothing feels rushed.”

“I stopped comparing her to the child next door. That alone made our evenings quieter.”

“My husband and I finally have the same words for what we are trying to do. We argue about it far less.”

“He tells me things now. I did not realise how much I had stopped hearing.”

“Boredom is allowed in our house now. It turns out to be where most of the good ideas come from.”

“I ask what she wants from me before I start fixing it. Half the time the answer is nothing.”

“The evening has a shape now. Nobody wrote it down and everybody knows it.”

“I spend far less time worrying about whether he is behind, and far more time enjoying him.”

“We still lose our tempers. We repair properly afterwards, and that turned out to be the part that mattered.”

“She explains things to me now, at length, whether I asked or not. I would not trade it.”
