My best parenting is on the school run

March 4, 2010 by Sarah Newton

Is the school run the best place to educate your children on life?

I have to say, I think so. Once all the hassle is out the way and we are in the car, the conversations we have are amazing and I think I parent most effectively when locked with my child in a confined place, with no means for escape.

The other morning Freya was telling me how tired she was and she was hoping that the big coffee in the road mug that she had in her hands would help her through the day. I asked her if she had used my coffee to make it, which she had, so I then when on to inform her that is was actually decaffinated so it would give her no benefit at all in that department.

This led her to ask what caffeine is, which led me to explain about stimulants and depressants and what they do to you. She listened intently and then went through every drug she knew, trying to figure out where they would fit.

The conversation then went on to legal and illegal drugs and I told her the truth about the amount of alcohol and nicotine deaths there were in a year, which she found quite shocking. She then asked the obvious question of why they were legal, which started a whole debate about consumerism and ended with her wanting to write a letter to Gordon Brown!

It was maybe one of the most productive conversations that I have had with her and goes to show me that if we are prepared to talk openly and frankly, to give information without judgement and allow for the difficult questions, we can have amazing conversations.

What about you on the school run, are you using the time wisely?

Neew help them why not try our family communication cards .

“Thank you so much for these they arrived today. They are fantastic,very different to the family edition which is what is needed. Some very controversial and hard hitting topics which will enable students and young people to open up and feel more comfortable talking to their elders whether it be their teachers or parents. It will also enable parents to start up these often tricky conversations. Its nice that it is divided up into the different topics so you can pick and choose from ones you are more or less comfortable discussing. This also enables you to pitch the level at the appropriate teenage group.”
