The House...

...of Tiny Tearaways

Ok, so I am officially completely ADDICTED to this TV programme. If you don't know what it is, why not?! Go watch it - BBC3 8pm Sun-Fri.

So, what is it? Well 3 families are put in a house. Each family has a child with some kind of problem; eating, sleeping, temper, speech etc. In the house is also the clinical psychologist (sp?) dr Tanya Byron.

It's all Mum's fault I started watching it. One evening she watched it, this was series 2, week 2. Then I watched it the next evening and got hooked. Somehow I then saw the first series through repeats and now I even missed cell group tonight to watch it. And yes we do have a video recorder!!

So yes it's wonderful. During the week these families are in the house dr Tanya works with the parents and the child(ren) to try and solve the problem. Often it's mostly the parents fault and they're often carrying a lot of emotional baggage.


It's interesting coz I think to me, it really emphasises the need for people to deal with issues in their lives, to seek help, to talk things over, to see a counsellor even. Dr Tanya is so great with them. She always has the right words and is fantastic at identifying things and spelling them out, but not in a rude or in your face kind of way. She also has a lot of love towards the parents and it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy to see the way she shows this.

I guess it reminds me that this world isn't all doom and gloom. Even though the world is fairly broken, there are still good people out there, there is still love and there is most certainly still hope.

Praise God for this!
