Our licensed Parent educator will guide weekly online discussions. As society recognizes today’s parents are under extreme pressure, this class will provide tools to empower parents. This book takes a look at parenthood from the lens of how children affect parents. The author uses her research on historical stresses on parents as well as tapping into brand-new challenges. We will explore the ways the lives of parents and caregivers are reshaped once children come along. Strategies will be discussed while realizing we are not alone and being reminded of the many rewards that come with parenthood.

About the Book, This user-friendly guide will empower parents and caregivers of young children to forge rewarding, joyful relationships with terrible two-year-olds, truculent three-year-olds, ferocious four-year-olds, foolhardy five-year-olds, self-centered six-year-olds, and the occasional semi-civilized seven-year-old. And, it will help little kids grow into self-reliant big kids who are cooperative and connected to their parents, teachers, siblings, and peers.
