Harriet Wran - another kid in trouble.

Regardless of her social status or wealth, Harriet Wran is a troubled kid in need of help from her family and community. 

What parent hasn't had to come to the aid of their child at some stage ?

Any acting out behaviour is a scream for help. This child is in pain. She has lost her father Neville Wran and now her freedom. Many young people our Gaols are in looking at the same steely view. 

 We are seeing extended 'teenagehoods' with many young folk not developing emotional integrity or maturity until around the 30 year old  mark.

Part brain development, part nurturance, our duty as parents ( and I really feel Jill Hicksons sense of helplessness and shock at this horror) is to stand by our children. 

Unconditional love is being there as best you can. It doesn't mean we always approve of our child's decisions or actions but we love them in spite of it all. 

Parenting is for life.

 You always have an opportunity to improve - I know I have gotten better and I'm sure Jessica agrees. Begin today, talking, sharing not only concerns but your love and kindness.
