I have a new tool in my parenting toolbox! A friend recently introduced me to Hand in Hand Parenting created by Patty Wipfler. http://www.handinhandparenting.org/ It's a website with articles and resources for parents as they strive to build closeness with their children, fix discipline dilemmas, and to understand their children's needs. I've already participated in one of their free tele-seminars and it was very professionally done. I highly recommend this particular service for parents because:
-it does not require physical attendance (simply call in on your telephone and listen to the speakers)
-other tasks can be done while you're on the phone (laundry, nursing, painting your toenails, cooking, etc.)
-there is no charge
Patty Wipfler's approach to parenting will resonate with all sorts of parenting styles. Whether it's the articles from their e-newsletter or her tele-seminars, I always take something away from it. Parenting is a real job and it's always good to brush up on those skills!
