About

A Little Good Advice was born when my sons were small and had none of the filters we develop as adults.

A bit of joyful perspective

The issues I struggled with, they simplified and gave, quite frankly, brilliantly straightforward advice.

When I made mistakes, they humanised them.

When I lost big contracts because of complicated online portals, I ended up in tears after weeks of work with other companies. Explaining this to my 5-year-old, he just looked at me and said: “You’re crying because you didn’t click the button in time?” Yes. Yes I was. And somehow, that perspective made it easier to deal with the situation.

This site works in the same way: a simple question-and-answer format, where only children give the answers.

You ask a question (anonymously).
Kids give their best advice.
The answers are posted here for everyone to read.

A few gentle rules:

Ask real questions, but nothing cruel or harmful.
Enjoy the advice, but don’t expect it to replace professional help.
And remember: kids can be funny, profound, and surprisingly wise, take what resonates.

Treat it nicely please.

You can choose what age group you’d like to answer your problem, or leave it open.

Your question and the answers will be posted on open forum anonymously.

Don’t ask awful questions, and don’t take the advice if it isn’t excellent! This is a gentle disclaimer.

My hope is that, as this grows, A Little Good Advice can do more than just brighten your day. I’d love to eventually support work tackling child poverty, (something needs to be done) to ensure all kids are safe, warm and have full tummies.

That is all.

Play nice.

LASTLY, HERE’S SOME GOOD ADVICE TO LEAVE YOU WITH.
MY SON’S RESPONSE TO “Have a good day.”

“Don’t expect a good day.
Make a good day.”
