And what kind of stress are we talking about? Your kids might find it stressful to be deprived of their mobile phones for an hour.

No, we are talking about deep, lifetime acquired physiological stress. The kind most people are unaware of until they go down with illness, have a serious accident or ‘lose the plot.’

That’s the bad news. The good news is you can let it go. In our first book we gave you a whole range of tools and techniques to do so. When The Coaching Parent Companion comes out, you will find a few more.

Do you have beliefs that limit you? You have [harmful, even traumatic] memories from childhood [and even futher back] that remain in your cells. They need to go.

Before you get your hands on The Coaching Parent Companion, check this out www.successorstress.com. You might find some respite.

To quote the minster: “You were assumed to be guilty until you were proven innocent, and told you were able to work with children.” More here -http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/10314055.stm

The implications of this go far beyond the obvious. Kids are being subtly told [and blatantly in some cases] that adults can’t be trusted. And kids who decide they want to pursue a career working with kids, that they too are under suspicion.

The world is full of fear-laden policies and tactics which undermine parenting. However, let us celebrate when the government gets it right.
