Live chat with Dr Tanya Byron, Thursday 6 September between 1-2pm

[OliviaMumsnet]

Hi all
We're delighted to announce that Dr Tanya Byron will be here for an online chat with Mumsnetters this Thursday, 6 September.

Tanya is a practicing consultant in child and adolescent mental health and has two children of her own. Her new parenting book Your Child, Your Way encourages you to really think about the kind of parent you are and the kind you want to be, but mostly to understand your child.

Tanya will be joining us for an hour on Thursday at 1 o'clock, so grab your sarnies, get your questions ready and join us then.

For those of you who have unavoidable lunchtime commitments, we'll let you post your questions in advance here.

Thanks, MNHQ

For the rest of you, we'll see you on the 6th.

Am definitely going to buy the book ...

Thank you Dr G

Am definitely going to buy the book ...

Thank you Dr T

"Do mumsnet do speaker events Q & A sessions where we can do this face to face and raise money for charity at the same time?"

Yes of course they do..... all the time.... do come.

Dr T just join Mn on the quiet then you can talk to us all everyday (behind another name obviously!) Would be interesting for you to see how many of us took your advice without knowing who you are, thats the beauty of MN!

I'm sure MNHQ put subliminal messages on here to get us hooked! Bet you, you come back later to check the messages that were posted after you had gone! (you can't resist just another quick glimse! That's how the addiction starts!! he he!)

do it on Webcam, Olivia, or us lot out in The Sticks will miss out again.

sorry - wrong key -

will also cut and paste your advice from this thread and pin it above my bed (whilst remembering to rely on my own instincts and be more confident too of course

thank you again

we could all donate via paypal, i should say.

LOL counting. yes, do both.

Thank you Dr T

mn can we just have a thread with tanya's answers on? i can't follow this thread at all

Ooh can we not just tell her that the Xmas do is for charity?

Thank you very very much Tanya

I think I have a little crush on Dr Tanya now

That was fun. I want the book. Did she say how much it was ??

thanks dr t

There\s a link to the book on the home page norma
hth

sea, yes there'll be an edited transcript like the ones on the home page in the next couple of days.

ROFL at edited transcript. who's job is that? nightmare.

thanks olivia

Roffle at DrT joining and posting advice on the sly. She'd be outed in seconds.

Anyhoo, that was great, even if she didn't get to my wee question. I still think I've (at the risk of sounding like a ponce) 'taken away something valuable'.

Thanks DrT & MumsnetHQ.

PS. I was nothing to do with that chant nonsense. No siree.

I am not sure who dr t is, but really enjoyed this thread, and might even be tempted to buy the book....

you don't have a telly, do you, aefondkiss?

lol LovelyMyGirls - if Dr T comes back and takes a peek bet it won't be for a while - she must get mugged at the school gates by mums wanting advice ...

but if you are taking a peek

Thank you again and to Mumnset Towers!

nope no telly, though I think I have heard of the house of tiny tearwaways from a friend who is obsessed with child development stuff... I wonder if she was on here asking q's

just ordered the book

Oooh a Q & A session would be fab

It would have to be in London, of course
