What qualifies me to help people…? Well to be honest I don't really know. I consider myself to be a life long learner therefore far from knowing everything. I believe the "outsider looking in" kind of advice can sometimes be the best because it can be the most eye opening and honest response that you will find.

Where do I live…? I sometimes wish I lived in the land of LaLa but for the time being I live in the Land Down Under.

My family makes me tick. They are my motivation for most things that I do choose to do.

A.   9 January 2020: Permitting a child not to attend school or have exposure to some sort of education is a form of child abuse. An agency having policies like that is certainly eyebrow raising. Has the child ever been at school whilst in your care, but now refusing, ... (read in full...)
