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 mainly just jealous because of being in the wrong time zone. Will have to get the book!

LOL welliemum

I've never seen her programmes but I like the sound of her from this thread.

she was on womans hour this morning saying that she'd been on a webchat yesterday and someone had poiinted out that bringing out a book to say stop reading books was like Princess Di having a press conference to announce no longer doing press conferences.
was that here or has TB been playing around with other women?

@ welliemum

"How shall we go away DrT?"

Can't believe it.
That book is the book I have been planning in my head at 2am while waiting for dd to go back to sleep!

An empowering, use your own instincts, what kind of mother do you want to be? book.

Am cross

But not too cross (cos I love Tanya - love the psychology aspect rather than Behaviourist Supernanny)

She's on Jezza in 5 minutes. get those texts and emails in!

Tanya must have been confused after yesterday because I think that quote was in response to her column in The Times
