Little Kids: It’s Okay Not To Be Okay Right Now

Welcome to This Glorious Mess Little Kids. A twice-weekly look at parenting as it really is - confusing, exhausting, inspiring, funny, and full of surprises. So many surprises! I don’t cry much. I think the last time I cried was February, maybe March. I am a closed-book, deep-feeler and over-thinker. But not a crier... But today I cried. It is safe to say the pandemic fatigue has sunk in. We're tired for a lot of reasons. So today, Leigh and Tegan let it all out. What is this doing to our kids? to us? How do we even talk about it, to our little ones without making it scary?  If you're feeling this too, today we're permitting you to have a whinge, let it out and know that you're not feeling this in isolation.  LINKS You can read Leigh's story online at Mamamia.com.au The 5 Things Every Teacher Needs To Know About Social Media Webinar is on Tuesday 10th August 2021, 7 pm AEST.
