• Transform your parenting perspective

  Lately, my social media outlets have been blasting out links to parenting articles like parenting is the latest fad.  You’re doing it all backwards, they say.  You’re doing it all wrong.  Parenting brings out people’s greatest fears and insecurities.  It also teaches us more about ourselves then we care to know.  So, that’s how short my…
