I have young children, too, and have felt some of the same emotions that you have expressed in your blog entries. I refer to the Parent Coaching Institute and its Web site www.thepci.org as a valuable resource for our family, with its articles, Parent Appreciation Radio recordings (really enjoy those), and parent coach referrals. Thought I would pass this PCI info along to you. Wishing you and your family all the best in 2009! Sincerely, Sharon Your blog is great!

But ultimately the responsibility of discipline n teaching falls on us, not the grandparents, not the maid. hi leonny, thanks for the recommendation. the portion u posted makes a lot of sense to me n is the reason y i choose to b around for my daughter when she comes home from school. i grew up in a home where both my mum n grandmother r always at home when i come home from school n i tot that was impt for my daughter too. a sense of belonging, a place where she’s loved, cherished, cared for n lectured – not by anyone else most of the time but her own mother.
