Christie Barnes, was happily married to writer Peter Barnes, the screenwriter of some of America’s most beloved films, including the Oscar nominated Enchanted April, and most popular TV movies, Merlin, Arabian Nights, Leprechauns, A Christmas Carol, Alice In Wonderland, etc.
One day he was out walking in the park with their year old triplets and 4-year-old daughter, the next day he was dead of a stroke.
Christie Barnes, who had worked with her husband in film and television and as a writer, had to take charge of their large young family and be their guide through all the dangers and fears of today’s life.
Taking command, she has become a crusader for identifying real dangers to her children and yours and finding ways to fix what can be fix.
As a mother of triplets plus one, left totally in charge when my husband died unexpectedly, I worried a lot. I mentally noted each danger I heard nightly on the news, vowing to put them into some priority list someday but meanwhile I just ‘kind of ‘ worried about everything a little or a lot equally.
I found I was worrying about most of the wrong things and worrying too much…which caused me to nag and my children to whine. I wanted to get back to having fun with my children and fix the real dangers…
