Hello Everyone

I am L & I have a 6 year old daughter. We live in devon. Her dad is Brasillian & we see him twice per year.

i have struggled with feeling isolated & unsupported for years & overwhelmed with parenting a demanding, intelligent child. 

Last year I started parenting training & I haven't looked back since. I am learning how to get the support & information I need to make this work, & I understand all the off-track behaviour & what I can do about it, how to deeply connect & nourish my relationship with my daughter. I have moved away from rewards & punishments & naughty step & moved towards listening & play & setting limits. Most of all it is about connection. Best of all it works & makes me feel good & it's long lasting.

So one of my reasons for joining this group is to find support when I need it. 

I look forward to meeting some of you in this forum.

Hello there

As a single parent, you are welcome to One Space in your individual capacity. There is lots of support and information on here. We know that parenting alone can be challenging, to say the least!

I have edited your post as it contained information publicising an organisation. We also need you to change your name to something more appropriate please.

If you wish to talk about how various parenting techniques have worked for you then that is fantastic but it is against our Forum Rules to promote a particular organisation. So please remain with us, but as an individual Smile
