Parenting - Cara Hilton, former MSP Working in politics while bringing up a young family isn't easy. Multi-tasking is the only option and keeping the kids involved is a great help. I have three children, aged five, seven and ten. Thankfully they're always keen to help out, happy to be out with me knocking on doors, attending constituency events and even making their own election posters.
