The foxglove repesents the parental role in two ways: it is beautiful but can be deadly in huge quantities. Parents tread the fine line between wonderful helpers and dreadful stoppers. The links below and the acces to The Oracle at Delphi the rest of the Parnassus website as well as email access to help parents cope with what can be at times described only as a "difficult" situation. Knowing when to ask, when to act, when to wait and see are the hallmarks of successful junior / parent teamwork.
