"Life is like a forest because it's enormous". This was written by my 12 year old son at school. It's now on our fridge at home. Parenting, like life, is a bit like this. Enormous. In my role in health education and counselling young people and families, a consistent message comes through. Parents and children want better relationships with each other. Parents want to understand their kids, and kids want to feel loved by their parents. In these pages, Cath invites the reader into the forest of parenting, walks beside them and sometimes holds their hand along the way. She writes with humour and wisdom. As a parent of four marvellous teenage sons, I wish I had had a book like this to help me navigate the forest! I recommend “Hot Tips for Cool Parents” to all those either on the parenting or care-giving journey, or about to embark. You don't have to do it alone!"
