Parenting is the ultimate learn-as-you-go endeavor. Few
parents have more than a vague notion of how they’ll do it until
they are doing it. But parenting style matters—not just
because it affects the way children develop, but because it also
affects your relationship with them.
My approach to helping parents is based on basic principles of
childhood development as well as an internal understanding of
your own childhood experiences. Human development is a
lifelong process of physical, behavioral, cognitive and emotional
growth and change. You need effective communication strategies
at each stage of your child’s development, from infancy to the
teen years. The way your parents parented you and the way you
want to parent may be similar or it may be very different. Parents
today have new challenges and stressors and often find it difficult
to know how to keep up with work and raising children.
