Raising children is one of the most important roles anyone can play in society. After all, it is our children who are the future! The array of issues, challenges and opportunities in raising children are mind-boggling. It’s enough to make any parent feel overwhelmed and sometimes downright frustrated. If you’re feeling that way, please understand first that you are not alone! Anyone who has or is raising children has undoubtedly felt the same way as you at one time or another.

I put this collection of tips and advice together because I kept hearing parents say over and over again, “I wish I had all the great information from your newsletters and articles in one place that I could easily look at.” The tips, strategies and insights contained in this eBook can help both parents and school personnel work together in creating a wave of positive momentum in children’s lives that will help them be as successful as they can be. That is my intention and my hope for all parents and educators, counselors, social workers, and administrators!
