at home with Jo Frost - October 2012 - (Page 9)

| EDITOR’S LETTER| WELCOME M otherhood is a truly fabulous experience, but those hectic early years can also be a testing and exhausting time. It’s a cliché, but kids grow up super fast! No sooner do you get to grips with crying, feeding and sleeping, you’re faced with the ‘terrible twos’ before you know it. And then come the school years, homework and teenage angst! Meanwhile, you’re trying to hold down a job and juggle family life at the same time. If this sounds like you, then you’re in the right place. This issue is packed full of inspiration and answers to all your parenting dilemmas. Plus, there’s must-have info for the key stages of your child’s development – from baby to toddler to junior and tween. Each one comes with its own challenges – something that this month’s guest editor, Jo Frost, knows only too well. Jo’s success lies in teaching parents to give their kids a balance of loving care and clear boundaries without giving in to their every whim. As a parent, the single most important thing you can do for your kids is spend quality time with them. In doing so, you’ll create strong bonds and reinforce the true value of family. Enjoy the issue!
