If, like me, you have had the ‘pleasure’ of jumping through one of those parenting course hoops just to stay in the support system, then I’m guessing you might have either:
1. Realised very quickly (maybe even as early as 10 minutes into the course) that the chances of it having any positive effect on your child’s wellbeing was zero.
or
2. Believed that because the advice was coming from a ‘professional’ that it would work – but it didn’t and you then fell down a huge hole that’s very difficult to climb out of.
