Terms of Use: The articles in my blog are a matter of my opinion and perspective, offered to help stimulate parents' thinking about their child raising and common concerns, conflicts, and changes that typically occur.

The resources I recommend are mostly consistent with my parenting approach. Use them at your own discretion as you would my articles.

They are to be used for inspiration that by you changing first, you have the greatest chance of creating a positive change in your family.
