What TheTryingParent.com is about

Written by Mandla, a Trying Parent of 2.

Hi fellow trying parent. My name is Mandla, a trying parent to 2 beautiful kids, ages 11 and 16 at the time of writing. Just like you I love my kids and want what is best for them. Though no matter what I desire for them, life always has a way of switching things up. Same way it switched up things for my parents, it switches up things for me too, when it comes to my kids. The era I grew up in is totally different to this era that our kids are growing up in. One of the advantages that we have is that information is easier to attain in order to equip ourselves with tools we need to navigate this life for us and our kids. My intent of building this site was to combat the hardships every trying parent goes through when it comes to protecting their kids, and giving them the best life. Through different topics, resources and tools from this site I know you will be equipped to be a better trying parent, and I wish you all the best on your parenting journey!
