I’ve covered the nitty gritty of child development and parenting day to day elsewhere. This section is about long-term parenting topics – becoming the parent you want to be, and on self care for parents.

Start with this article on Top Ten Takeaways. It summarizes all the key messages about parenting that I hope my students take away from a whole year of my parent education classes.

Other helpful overview articles are Becoming the Parent You Want to Be (setting a mission and vision); Parenting Style; Talking to Children about Difficult Topics; and How Much is Enough;

For shaping your family culture: Connect to Your Cultural Identity; Connecting to Extended Family; Sibling Relationships; and Relationship Skills.

And don’t forget to look at Parental Anger and Self Care.
