For a peaceful home, for a peaceful world
I am delighted to announce a fourth run of my signature online course A Beautiful Childhood in January 2020. I truly believe in an eclectic approach to raising children; in picking and choosing different ideas and methods to fit your own family values and needs, and in being inspired by different styles and trying things out…

The word advent, from Latin, means “the coming” and this period – the four weeks or so before Christmas, beginning on the Sunday closest to the 30th November – can be seen as one of joyful anticipation as well as (spiritual or personal) reflection.
