Parenting is often described through milestones.

First steps. First words. First days of school.

But so much of family life happens between those moments.

As the founder of The Britleys School, I see it at our door most mornings. A child who clung to the doorframe last week walks in without looking back, and suddenly, it’s the parent who lingers.

It happens in changing friendships, difficult drop-offs, growing independence, and the changes in who our children are becoming and who we are becoming alongside them.

The Between Years is a welcoming community for those conversations. A place to slow down, notice, and ask better questions about the seasons of childhood and family life.

Every other week, I share what I’m seeing, thinking about, and learning about children, transitions, relationships, and growing up-hoping these insights resonate with you. Each edition also ends with The Britleys Back Page, a short quiz designed to make you think and, hopefully, smile.

If you're interested in practical insights, community support, and expert tips on your child's growth during these key years, I’d love to have you with us.

Warmly,
Gloria Ogbemudia
