I’ve had the delightful opportunity to join a ‘parenting panel’ on Brisbane’s 612 ABC Radio Wednesday morning show as an occasional panelist. I was introduced to the panel by long term team member and good friend Tracey. It’s basically three regular parents having a chat about what’s going on in their families – just to provide some encouragement and ideas for listeners. As is evidenced by the fact that I’m on the show, there are no expert credentials required!

It’s been fun so far, and no major blunders that I know of – except perhaps for comparing myself to a wombat (yes, I did).

Here are the two shows:

• on transitions, homework and swearing: with Tracey, Emmely and host Steve (Sept 30)
• on busyness, child-free friends, and the “sweet spot” age: with Jo, Carolyn and host Steve (Oct 21)
