A podcast by Doctor Rob Pluke, a Psychologist who specialises in child and adolescent mental health, and issues around parenting. For Rob, family is a primary relational space. It challenges everyone, both young and old, to learn and grow. And as we come to really see and care for each another, then God is there at work, in and among us. Rob is a father of three children, two of whom are young adults, while the youngest is in the closing stages of high school. Rob has been counselling for more than 20 years, and brings all this incredible experience to these podcasts. Rob has also written two books; 'Parenting the sensitive child' and 'A son to be proud of'. Join us, Rob and Stu (the novice parent) as they discuss imperfect parenting and Rob offers practical advice for parents.
