I will be facilitating (sorry hubsand, I know you don’t like that word) a telephone support group for parents very soon.
Parents from anywhere in the world can join (though with the time difference, you may have to wake up at 1am to join us in which case it may not be ideal for you.) Australian parents (especially those in MELBOURNE yes I am looking at you, crooked woman and in CARINDALE yes, mother of the earth that means you! are encouraged to join me.)
Those interested (it sounds wierd but I promise it will be tons of fun and you get to be supported in the mysterious, challenging unchartered territory of parenting) I make it sound like it’s the Amazon, please contact me at:
tasmiya (aaaaatttttttt)gmail(dddddooooottttt)com
It will run for one session a week for 6 weeks and BEYOND!
Pros:
- you don’t have to leave your home
- you will learn excellent tools to allow you to deepen your connection with your children through listening
- no judgement
- strictly confidential
- you get to speak to me
Cons
- you get to speak to me

Oh the woman in Carindale , that would be me… yes, would love to join.. but have to ask the techie stuff. is it like a telephone conference.. everybody phones in at the same time or something? Not sure how to do that. I guess I would have to email you soon.
Lol @ the con. You havee a good sense of humour!
susan – check the website, there are so many more brilliant ecards there. Ones that I am sure even Imam Zaid Shakir would approve (of?).
Husband also needs to tell you about the crime wave there (has he sent you another email yet?) Check your inbox.
umm-fil-ardh Yes, the woman in Carindale would be you! No techie stuff – you just have to call a number and you’re in. I do all the hard work, you just call. I am trying to organise it for evenings. Hopefully the kiddies will be fast asleep by then so you are completely free to listen and be listened to
