This burning question was the catalyst for Bernie to embark on writing Finding Their Feet: an accessible and practical guide designed for parents and carers, to equip them for the most important role they will have - guiding their child's development. 'I wish I knew what I know now when my boys were little, they may not have had some of the challenges they faced.'
