Having kids is a baffling endeavour, beset with sulks, meltdowns, anxiety and disappointment – and that’s just the parents!

When you get that call to the principal’s office? When the school acceptances don’t come? When the bedroom door slams and you hear your child sobbing behind it? All awful. But it’s also a precious time, both hellishly challenging and full of joy. The trick? To find a way to enjoy our families, love our children and believe in them. And laugh …

In this book, Raphaely and Schimke have gathered together experiences and insights from The Village members. These are the gems and remedies from the real parenting experts, the parents to help you raise your family in your own perfectly imperfect way.

In this episode, Raphaely is in conversation with CapeTalk radio host, and parent of two, Lester Kiewit.
