Written by a cool parent for a cool audience Hot Tips for Cool Parents: The Key to Raising Awesome Kids is an easy to read guide to family life. Kerry Cue of the Herald Sun will launch Catherine’s book.

Catherine Warnock’s humorous ‘Kitchen Philosopher’ column appears weekly in newspapers across North East Victoria. She is the mum of three sons, James, Jess and Tom, Nanna to Cody and (as a tragic empty-nester) has recently fallen prey to the charms of Scruffy Dawg, the very naughty Mini Schnauzer. Catherine reckons you should never get too smug about your parenting skills because kids can always find ways to bring you down a peg or two! However, despite having suffered such humiliations many times, Catherine still thinks she’s a reasonably ‘cool’ parent — even if her kids DO make fun of her sad 1970s dancing technique!
