| Introduction | Hi, I'm Dr. Justin Coulson. I write and speak about parenting, happiness, and relationships. My wife and I have five children who give us plenty of practice at living what we preach. I have a PhD in psychology and am an Honorary Research Fellow at the Sydney Business School (University of Wollongong). My research has been published in academic journals, and peer reviewed books. And my book, What Your Child Needs From You: Creating a Connected Family is available in good bookstores now. I appear regularly as a parenting expert in the national media, including The TODAY show and The Project as well as in print and on radio. I'd love to speak to your parenting group, church, preschool, staff, or any other gathering, so if you're in Australia, feel free to contact me for more information. |

| Favorite music | Bruscia said: "Songs express who we are and how we feel, they bring us closer to others, they keep us company when we are alone. They articulate our beliefs and values, and they bear witness to our lives. Songs weave tales of our joys and sorrows, they reveal our innermost secrets, and they express our hopes and disappointments, our fears and triumphs. They are our musical diaries, our life stories. They are the sounds of our personal development." Music moves me deeply, so I choose to listen to music that I feel feeds my soul. |
