Our Goal Statement
Being a parent can be a challenging but rewarding experience. There are so many external forces that present a variety of situations for parents to decide when, what, and how they should teach, love, and view their child. In order to help parents be the parents they want to be, we will provide three videos. The first will cover the challenges that parents commonly face. The second will build an understanding of what self-regulation is and the importance it has for a child. The last video will provide a glimpse into how influential peers can influence how a child builds their self-identity.
