Failing, or getting it wrong, just means that we are in the process of learning something new, trying something we’ve not done before. Perhaps even something other people haven’t done before. Sailing in uncharted waters. And while that is scary, it’s also the way we move life forward. And in doing so we join the explorers of new continents, the space missions, the inner space astronauts, the mystics, and every single toddler taking his or her first steps.
Parenting is hard enough at the best of times, and each developmental stage that our youngsters embark on stretch us a little further. Add into the mix the development of inter cultural, cross-cultural and international children, also called third culture kids and you find the challenges rise
How do you feel about getting back to work after the holidays. Maybe you are experiencing back to work stress?

Our Shadow carries everything that wasn’t acceptable in childhood; the good qualities as well as the bad. And it is always pushing to be more integrated. Will Viviana recognise this though, or will she only see the bad?
