Expert Profile: Cathy Bailey

Expertise: I can answer questions on dealing with the difficult behavior of babies, toddlers, preschoolers, school children and teenagers. I can also help with issues such as bed wetting, head lice, thumb sucking and other childhood concerns. I can offer advice on children and homework, communicating with your child’s teacher and coping with bullying, amongst other school issues. If there is a parenting issue I can’t answer, I am honest about it, and try my best to refer the questioner to somewhere where they can find an answer.
I am the author of www.parents-in-a-pickle.com a website dedicated to helping parents deal with challenging and difficult behavior.

Experience in the area
I am a mother of two boys, aged 13 and 7. My husband and I have fostered various children and we have adopted one (the 7 year old). I have been a teacher since 1991, both in secondary schools, and now in a primary school. I have run various language clubs in nurseries, teaching French and Spanish through games, songs and other fun activities.
