my ongoing reflections on childcare

I'm putting my childcare posts on hold for a bit - maybe until next week, maybe until after the next 2 weeks of school holidays. I've been working my way through Steve Biddulph's chapter on childcare in More Secrets of Happy Children (which is truly excellent!) and Peter Cook's free online book Mothering Denied (which is thought-provoking and challenging), but it's taking a while! So you'll have to wait until I have time and energy to pull my thoughts together and write something further on the practicalities of childcare.
