Lets face it life is hard and its not perfect. We don’t get a guide book on how to handle the emotional state of our children. Everything is fast paced and living on this planet is far from easy! 

How we interpret the outside world in our own thoughts, behaviours, feelings and body that doesn’t always go to plan. Navigating through life as a dependable child or young person is hard. As parents we have a million and one things to think about and sometimes we do not see things happening until we hit a crisis point.  These emotions can manifest in many ways and relationships can break down.
