"Now I am 2 Group at Warsop"

I'm always asked if i can do an evaluation of my experience in the group. 

When L*** was 6 weeks old i moved back to the local area, i started to go to baby group every Thursday, i loved it, made some lovely friends and Karen and Paula was always there to give advice.

At 20 weeks old L*** had a seizure and continued to have them. i felt vulnerable and was a little afraid to take L*** out for what people would say and stop and stare. after a week or so i started back at baby group, i felt safe here, the support i got was amazing. My life then took a turn for the worse, my mum had a massive life changing stroke which she now relies on everyone for all aspects of daily living, mum was my support and over night it had been taken away i had no one to ask for help and advice due to mum's illness it caused family problems so i also lost connection with my family

Karen and Paula helped me through the darkest days. you can read a million books but they don't tell you how to play with your child listen to your child and understand your child when ever i needed some one to talk to or needed advice they have always smiled and helped me, as i watched L*** grow I've realized I've made mistakes. She is so full of life and character, L***don't always listen to what i am saying and can just do her own thing and become challenging when i try to interact, i think due to L***'s epilepsy i never really enforced boundaries. 

The now i am two group is really helping me with that ive seen such an improvement in L***'s behavior and attitude, i can see her develop week by week ands she has started to develop her own personality you can really see what she enjoys. 

This group is definitely helping as well has L*** benefiting from the group as a mum its also helped me, at present i have depression due to family issues this group is one thing i look forward to, i also feel more confident in being a mum. Thank you to both of you from the bottom of my heart 

P**** and L*** xx
