Homeopath Edel Bolger O’Hora (July 2022) I am putting up this blog being mindful that when September comes we are all back to the school year routine, the weather is becoming colder and the days darker. Many people can find this ‘life is returning to normal' challenging. When parenting children as much as we love our children they challenge us. I recognised this when I was parenting and being a health care provider I put together a programme to help clarify my role as a parent from my instincts which could be good or bad depending on the situation I was experiencing with my child/children. I began facilitating this course online during the ‘covid’ times and will continue to facilitate it on Fridays 10 to 12 midday for 2022/ 2023 school season. Each module(session) is stand-alone and you can dip in or out as your schedule allows. Maybe this will interest you? Do contact me on my website or edel@rhsl.ie  This 12-week “Tips To Embracing Parenting” course:
Each week discussions and sample case studies will form part of the course so that the participantcan learn how to successfully integrate the new knowledge into their home environment. There will be opportunity for questions and discussions. Detailed, easy-to-read presentations and/or handouts are given at every session for each subject covered.
