Childhood and parenting have radically changed in the past few decades. Far more children today struggle to manage their behaviour and grapple with poorer educational outcomes and more mental health problems than ever before.

Reflecting on their journeys as mothers and step mothers, The Antoinettes unpack the widely held belief “There are no bad children, only bad parents” because sometimes its not as simple as that.
