Bless every parent, every one, everywhere! Enormous thanks to every parent for the great patience, love, and time that they’ve taken to bring along an important new member of our world.

It is a very complicated time to raise a child. Brand new opportunities and dangers crop up in every direction, every moment it seems. Our society could do a far better job of helping parents, but fortunately excellent help is out there if we’ll do some digging. Hard as it is to believe sometimes, there is always a way to make things better. We human beings have such an endless reach that there’s always the possibility of more fun, more trust, more cooperation, and more peace. Contact us for more information.

Just a couple of very important parenting resources are Hand in Hand Parenting, and “The War Against Parents”, by Sylvia Ann Hewlett and Cornel West. “The War Against Parents”, though from 1998, is an indispensable resource because it so clearly explains the sweep of economic and historical forces that have created the seeming chasm between today’s parents, grandparents, teens and children. Read some of it here. Hand in Hand Parenting is an amazing organization in California whose affection, respect for and skills with children are unmatched.
