WHAT IS ATTACHMENT PARENTING? WHAT IS GENTLE PARENTING?

Parenting is the process of raising a child until adulthood (and beyond, if you’re part of the boomerang generation as I am!). There is no rule book when it comes to parenting but there are a range of parenting styles which may suit your family as well as tips and ideas to help you parent in the way you feel is the most positive one for you and your child(ren).

It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.

The more we show how diverse family life can look like, the more people can feel less alone and reach out (we also have a support page for all families here).

I also set up another local site called Yorkshire Families because again I realised when I was blogging and vlogging about days out, activities and family life that I was passionate about accessibility to help all families to get active and thrive regardless of income, background, disability, race or sexuality. I want to champion all families!

I am passionate about this as someone who comes from a very unique family and now has her own ‘dysFUNctional’ family life as a single mum who runs her own businesses, likes to keep fit and get dressed up in colourful costumes…
