Enormous thanks to every parent for the great patience, love, and time that they&#8217;ve taken to bring along an important new member of our world.</p>
<p>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&#8217;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&#8217;s always the possibility of more fun, more trust, more cooperation, and more peace.  <a href="http://www.theinstituteforbasicchange.org/contact/">Contact </a>us for more information.</p>
<p>Just a couple of very important parenting resources are <a href="http://www.handinhandparenting.org/">Hand in Hand Parenting</a>, and <a href="http://www.theinstituteforbasicchange.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/The_War_Against_Parents.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1419 alignright" title="The_War_Against_Parents" src="http://www.theinstituteforbasicchange.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/The_War_Against_Parents.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="348" /></a>&#8220;The War Against Parents&#8221;, by Sylvia Ann Hewlett and Cornel West.   <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=LUvSKPupricC&amp;dq=the+war+against+parents+west&amp;printsec=frontcover&amp;source=bn&amp;hl=en&amp;ei=rx-dS-niL4W8NsOU1OYN&amp;sa=X&amp;oi=book_result&amp;ct=result&amp;resnum=4&amp;ved=0CBgQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&amp;q=&amp;f=false">&#8220;The War Against Parents&#8221;</a>, 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&#8217;s parents, grandparents, teens and children.  Read some of it <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=LUvSKPupricC&amp;dq=the+war+against+parents+west&amp;printsec=frontcover&amp;source=bn&amp;hl=en&amp;ei=rx-dS-niL4W8NsOU1OYN&amp;sa=X&amp;oi=book_result&amp;ct=result&amp;resnum=4&amp;ved=0CBgQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&amp;q=&amp;f=false">here</a>.  Hand in Hand Parenting is an amazing organization in California whose affection, respect for and skills with children are unmatched.</p>
