Effective Parenting

The choice to have children brings with it the significant responsibility of creating a happy, emotionally stable, and responsible human being.    

Effective Parenting is a Real Life Collection of columns we’ve written in response to many questions we’ve received over the years from concerned parents and grandparents as well as some commentary from our own experiences in parenting.  The columns include issues about the choice to have children, addressing children’s emotional problems, differences between fathers and mothers about parenting, supporting children in community success, creating community within the family, parenting children of divorce, parenting in blended families, overcoming problems with launching children into college, handling adult children’s emotional problems, grandparents’ struggles with grandchildren, and extended family’s issues in parenting.
