PARENTING
Parenting, with all its fulfilling joys and delights, is not without its challenges. Parenting can be difficult and at time, stressful. It is completely normal to feel overwhelmed attending to a young person’s needs, assuming responsibility for helping children develop life skills and healthy self-esteem, all while establishing a set of expected guidelines for behaviors and the development of good moral judgment. From infancy and childhood through adolescence, teenagehood, and beyond empty nest, each developmental period presents a unique set of pressure points. It is true that children don’t come with an instruction manual, but parenting sessions can help you stay on course.
