What are the sexes and ages of your children?:

I have two boys age 6 and 10 years old.

What got you into parent blogging?:

I didn’t set out with the intention of being a parent blogger as such. I’ve always loved writing, and wanted somewhere I could write frequently and express my thoughts, opinions and experiences. As a bonus when I started, a whole blogging community I was previously unaware of opened itself up to me!

What is your top parenting tip to share with our readers? Can be on any topic for little ones :-) (under 8s):

I think the best tip I can give is to trust your own instincts, and do what is best for you and your child. So many people will have an opinion on whatever you’re doing, whether it’s how you’re feeding your child, how many times of day you should get out for a walk, how many playgroups you go to etc… if you listened to all the conflicting advice, you’d go batty. :-) As long as you and baby are happy and healthy, have faith in your own abilities to do what is right. Take on board other opinions, of course, but ultimately do what is best for you and your family.

I think this blog post sums up my previous comment about how parents always have an opinion, http://castawaywithdreams.wordpress.com/2012/02/06/are-you-guilty-of-being-a-judgy-parent/

KiddyCharts has reach of over 1.1million across social and the site. The blog works with big family brands (including travel) to help promote their services, as well as offering free resources to parents of kids under 10. It gives 51%+ profits to Reverence for Life, who fund a number of important initiatives in Africa, including bringing running water and basic equipment to a school in Tanzania. Helen has worked as a digital marketing consultant (IDM qualified) with various organisations, including Channel Mum, Truprint, Talk to Mums, and Micro Scooters.
