A Slow Childhood: Notes on Thoughtful Parenting
by Helen Hayward
Not enough is written about the sort of limbo a parent lives in between their own ambitions and the demands of family life, but Hobart-based author, Helen Hayward, has dived in headfirst. This is a very revealing, honest account of parenting in which Hayward shares lessons from everyday life, the sacrifices, the tussles, the rewards.
Come along for a discussion of finding balance between parenting and wanting one’s own life.
Helen Hayward will be in conversation with Kyia Clayton, Director of the Tasmanian Film Festival, at Fullers Bookshop, this Friday, June 2 at 5.30pm.
Helen Hayward is a freelance writer living in Hobart. She taught in universities and trained in psychotherapy in the UK, leading to her first book Never Marry a Girl With a Dead Father. Her most recent work is The School of Life website, Food As Therapy, and For the Love of Food: Stories and recipes from extraordinary Tasmanians ( http://www.haywardhelen.com.au/love_of_food.html ) and in 2017 her memoir of family life, A Slow Childhood. Homework, her current project, based on 50 interviews, is about the value of domestic life.
