Whether it’s feeding your children the right food, dressing them in the latest fashions or ensuring academic brilliance, how much pressure do you feel today as a modern parent?
From birthday parties and fashionable clothing to getting our children into the right schools, we are forever feeling the competitive shadow of fellow parents. Being a working parent doesn’t make things any easier, especially during the holidays and many of us will know about the incurred guilt and many challenges faced by having to entertain your kids for six weeks.
Yet are we becoming too worried about our children’s actions, their safety and how we look to other parents? How cautious are we being in comparison to what our own parents permitted when we were younger?
In this live and interactive webTV show, Tamzin Outhwaite and our panel will also be taking your questions, so email them to us using the box below:
