Growing Pains podcast: Parent WhatsApp groups and how to turn down playdate invites
Joanna Pains: Growing Fortune
Child psychotherapist and podcaster Dr Joanna Fortune and ieParenting editor Irene Feighan discuss the dynamics of school gate relationships and playdates.
Whether they are casual connections or the beginnings of a deeper friendship, relationships with other parents can help us navigate the early school years.
Dr Fortune also offers helpful tips on negotiating the tricky world of WhatsApp groups and how to turn down playdate invitations, which she sees as optional, not a necessity.
