Today's episode is for all those parents out there who are looking for tips & tools to survive Lockdown 3.0! My guest is Fiona Forman, a Well-Being and Positive Psychology facilitator and trainer with an M. Sc. in Applied Positive Psychology (MAPP). She is an author and a primary school teacher with over 30 years of classroom experience.  She reassuringly advises us to practice self-compassion and to trust our own instincts with our children. I took comfort from her advice in this chat and I hope you do too!
