"I am not perfect, I am a Parent Under Construction"
When we became parents we were not given a manual providing us with instructions on how to raise our children, let alone perfect ones, because their is no such thing as perfect. As parents there are many moments in our parenting lives that we feel that nothing is working. In this sight I will provide you with as many resources possible for your questions and concerns. As a parent myself, it has been challenging, but it is a journey we take and there will be precious moments and some cloudy ones. When it becomes cloudy please come see me or talk to a close individual, sometimes we just need a listening ear. Remember, we are "Parents under Construction".
This book is highly recommended for parents. It is a guide to instilling 7 important habits in your child to be happy and successful in life. See video above, click on link.
