Demetrescence, £100 Giveaway & Free e-course
A little round-up of news and freebies
Hi everyone,
It’s been a busy time recently and now it’s finally publication week! ‘How to Raise a Teen’ is officially published on Thursday and I thought I’d do a quick round-up of news and giveaways surrounding it.
Demetrescence - the second transition of a mother on Woman’s Hour
Last week I was lucky enough to be a guest on Woman’s Hour, discussing the transition that mothers of teens go through, a little like Matrescence (the new motherhood transition), Demetrescence is the metamorphosis that mothers of tweens and teens transition through, which changes them in body and in mind.
