Wonderful!

I love this and the idea to provide other resources as a remedy to waiting for another post!

Trying to promote substack as a resource too, I think a lot of subscribers through other mediums only read the email. Wealth of knowledge for parents in here.

On that topic, do you ever worry about an issue with having too much information?

Specifically regarding parenthood, though it can apply elsewhere.

Meaning, the paralysis of infinite choice...

There's so much they will never get it all, we don't have it all, nobody will know everything.

So then there's panic when things need to be done leading to inaction?

Something like that. I worry about that, so it makes me curious if others worry too.

Yes 100%. Although I used to be worse, making sure I was constantly consuming content, but recently I have been better now at letting my mind breathe.

With parenting though, I started writing because I thought a lot of modern advice is nonsense, and it's only since using Substack that I realise there is actually sound advice out there, like yourself. Hence, why I want to promote certain voices. I'm not a parent but work in child development/SEN and the shite people read and believe is hard to comprehend.
