The Power of Lists
Whether it's a list on your phone, on a scrap piece of paper or simply logged in your head, all mums keeps lists. We have an amazing filo fax of information between our ears.
If you're anything like me, your brain is a bit fluid and may find it hard to retain all of the information which it receives on a daily basis. Although I read a lot of parenting books and have attended a number of 'parenting' seminars, I find that after about a week, I've forgotten most of what I've read or heard. Sound familiar?
So, I've decided to try and keep all of my parenting tips in a list format...(Please note: Items are listed randomly rather than in order of importance/value)
