It is a demanding time to be parents. Many educators report that never before in history has there been so much information going to our children unfiltered by adult caretakers. This is the result of more parents working longer, and technological innovations that have changed how we work, live and learn.
Coping with your teenager, how to help a child being bullied at school, adjusting to single parenthood or living in a step-family are just a few of the many challenges that parents face. All parents go through times when they could use a listening ear and some good advice.
