Guild AGM, Anzac Memorial Club. Cammeray, Sydney. August 2006.
DESCRIPTION: Our memories of how it felt to be a child, at every stage of development,
are perhaps the most powerful influences on how we parent our children.
Our childhood histories often drive our parenting choices beneath our
conscious awareness. Bringing emotional memory - from the earliest moments
of life - to the light of understanding can therefore be a profound service
to the parenting relationship. There are wonderful and important implications
for practitioners who work with parents and their children.
