Raising the kids you've got

John Cowan’s no stranger to many Kiwis. He’s a trusted voice on radio … he’s written books and articles (including many for Grapevine) … he’s conducted weddings and funerals … and he’s photographed countless events across the country.
John’s also no stranger when it comes to parenting. He was parented himself, has helped raise three kids of his own, has welcomed grandkids into the mix – and has made good use of his years on the job by being a parenting educator and advisor.
We thought it was high time Grapevine picked his brains for some ‘hot takes’ and ‘top tips’ on raising kids – and we weren’t disappointed!
