What did you worry about most in those very early days?

Why this question

The fears that seemed enormous at the time. What helped. What turned out to be fine.

Capturing it in voice

  • ·Answer it yourself first, then ask them the same question and keep both. Two voices, one moment.
  • ·You don't need quiet. You need now. Record it in the car, on the walk to school, at the foot of the bed.
  • ·Record it on an ordinary day — the background noise of your kitchen is part of the keepsake.

What were you like as a parent in those very first weeks?
