The expectations we have for our children contribute to their overall feelings of negative or positive self-worth. Expectations, which are appropriate and doable, promote a healthy sense of self and communicate encouragement through achievement and effort. Appropriate developmental expectations also provide children with a sense of accomplishment and the ability to please their parents. The

POTTY TRAINING!! Two words that strike fear in the hearts of parents of preschoolers. Being said parent of a preschooler I know the fear! I said “He’s a boy. His Dad can teach him.”, and as a Mother I knew that would not be the case. We introduced the potty many, many months ago, but I was determined that I would not push. That was until I saw the children start to move up to the next

Nosy, over stepping, or SAVING A LIFE?

As professionals we are mandated to report, but family members, friends, neighbors, strangers… anyone concerned about the well-being of a child can make a report. One phone call to your local Department of Family and Children Services (DFCS) or 911 could save a child’s life.

TEENAGERS. Parents know that teenagers can be difficult and at times aren’t always a joy to be around.

With Child Abuse Prevention month right around the corner, I thought what better way to kick it off than to give some simple, inexpensive ideas/activities for families to do each day for the month of April. The truth is, the moments we have with our families, we should do things with them each and every day not just for one month, for each day is a gift and there are no guarantees for tomorrow.

Have you ever thought, “Here I am taking care of my home, my career, my family, but who is taking care of me?” The answer is in fact the same person as all those other things, you. It is just as important for you to take care of yourself so that you can be the absolute best parent you possibly can be. The unfortunate truth is, that typically as mothers we put everything and everyone before
