I've worked in the charity sector for 30+ years...

...and I'm still learning.

As a charity director...Ā Iā€™ve seen the immense challenges faced by families in the UK as well as overseasā€¦ and what the gift of education, creative opportunities and faith can bring to parents and the children in their care.

As a childrenā€™s author...Ā Iā€™ve seen the power of storytelling come alive in schools, as the eyes of childrenĀ andĀ teachers light up, through the excitement of imagining characters having adventures in strange new worlds.

And as a son, dad and now grandad...Ā Iā€™ve experienced and witnessed the power of the bedtime story and the joy that this connection brings between a parent and a childā€¦ and the creation of memories that last a lifetime.

"Being aĀ parent doesn't leave much time..."

That's very true...Ā and everyone has their own unique situation to work through. So however much time you have, perhaps we only need to ask: "If I were to prioritise just a little bit of creative time each week, what would be the lasting benefit for the children in my care?"

"We really needĀ a break from our screens..."

Yes... we agree!Ā The Little Journal's Seasonal Memory FrameworkĀ packages content into bite-sized-chunks, helping families get creative away fromĀ devices when inside the home and thenĀ to go outside and explore ā€“Ā whatever the season or weather!

"I don't know how to connect with my child..."

And that's hard... But remember that even in our insta-airbrushed world, most parents don't ever feel good enough. And,Ā whatever age or stageĀ of life, it's never to late to start learning how to connect and to prioritise your familyā€™s wellbeing... including you too.

My challenge to you today...

ā€œWhat is the one thing you could do over the next month, that would build real moments of connection between your family and friends?ā€
