      Transition from Spanking to Parent Coaching
      Parent coaching is going to be around for the long haul. I'm biased in my opinion, of course. You can judge by the end.  Sometimes parents are hesitant to come in for help because they are afraid of what it might mean about their parenting skills.

      'Im a New parent-again
      I worked in a daycare with infants for a year before becoming a stay at home mommy. I cared for and loved 4 little guys and gals that were "mine" as well as 4 other little guys and gals that were my "co-teachers babies". 8 babies in a room sounds crazy, but it actually was not. And before working with babies, I taught preschool to 16 four year olds. Again, sounds crazy, but I loved every second of

See a pregnant lady without wanting to rush up to her and tell her that
