"You have a lovely manner, are good to listen to, and have a calming voice!" So said one delegate at the NCT Conference in Stirling. That's helpful to know.
It was a good day, with double the number of delegates from the year before. I gave a presentation on 'Adapt' - a resource for supporting couples when parenting young children. It lasts about one hour and is aimed at helping them to look after their own relationship when baby comes along and shifts the balance of everything. It would appear that this is area of concern in health care but there is not much attention being given to it.
"I really enjoyed your presentation. I can see me using this in ante-natal classes"
"Brilliant, brilliant spot on!"
"Excellent. Really brilliant and refreshing."
"Great information with light-hearted fun. I envisage using this during ante-natal classes for early post-natal days and relationship issues."
"Very very helpful."
"I thought this was very interesting and enlightening and it would be good if Dads could hear about it."
"This is a nice easy to use and practical resource. Well suited to use with men."
The booklet accompanying this presentation will be available at the end of June.
James Fargie of Mellow Parenting also gave fascinating presentation about his work and more details of this can be accessed at www.mellowparenting.org
