“What’s his name again, Mum?” My four-year-old son was looking at his father, the man who had tucked him into bed every night of his life, and he couldn’t say the word “Dad.” It had started seemingly overnight. Words that began with ‘t’ or ‘d’ became impossible for him. He…

The Sacred Dance of Natural Mothering

“How often is he crying?” asked our counsellor. “A few times a week.” I replied. “That’s not enough, he needs to be crying a lot more.” she recommended. My son was four years old at the time and I’d just been given a prescription for tears. I was shocked. More tears? Isn’t my…
