Parenting

The first song.

13th March 2020 by Jax Blunt 7 Comments

Parenting is full of firsts. First smile, first steps, first word (different children achieve these in different orders and at different ages, don't panic). What I've found unexpected is that the firsts don't lose impact as your children get older. In fact, sometimes they're greater. I've … [Read more...] about The first song.

A boy made of blocks by Keith Stuart

1st September 2016 by Jax Blunt 4 Comments

Not the parenting *of* spoons. Not quite. No, this is about the resources we all have. Anyone with chronic illness or disability has probably come across The Spoon Theory (If you haven't, go read it. I'll wait.) Are we all caught up? Now, I'm not going to say that parenting is like a … [Read more...] about Parenting spoons

Living vicariously.

11th December 2012 by Jax Blunt 1 Comment

There's a danger, when you have children, to try to have a second go at life through them. To have them do the things you wish you could have done, to be able to glory in their achievements secondhand. It doesn't work. Our children's lives are their own, and we triumph most when we support them … [Read more...] about Living vicariously.
