Parent Resources
Being a parent today is really hard. Everyone, whether it’s the internet or the woman scoffing at you in Target, has a different opinion on how to raise your child. We want to help you weed through all that advice and collaborate to provide you with research based strategies that work for your family. These formative years are shaping your children into who they are as people. It is crucial that we teach them how to navigate their world at an early age so they can be prepared for everything that lies ahead of them.
