Whether a family is created through birth, adoption or other circumstances, children do not come with owner's manuals and parents are often poorly or inadequately prepared for their new roles.
The process of becoming and being a parent also evokes a variety of strong feelings and emotions, including joy, pride and love, as well as guilt, fear, anger and frustration.
Being a parent is also a huge personal, legal, and social responsibility. However, since our roles, duties, or paths as parents are not always clearly visible, or obvious, it can be challenging to make fully informed decisions based on evidence, facts, and research. This is especially important when we are dealing with topics such as healthy infant and child development, safe sleep, positive discipline, nutrition, adoption, divorce, co-parenting, re-parenting, finances, family goals, child and family health, children leaving home, empty-nest, parenting adult children, grandparenting, chores, bullying, sex, drugs, and pretty much anything else that parents have to deal with. While I don't profess to know all the answers (does anyone?!?), what I can tell you is that I am confident that you and your family will benefit from this work.
