It is human nature to be more receptive to trying new things when we are told what is already going well. Because of this, we talk about parenting using a strengths based approach. This approach focuses on what is going WELL rather than suggesting what you are doing WRONG. We believe that each of you already has strengths, we just want to help you bolster yours.
We recognize, that as parents, you are extremely busy! Because of this, we try to provide you with ideas that are easy to learn and quick to apply. We do our best to select topics most meaningful to you. By talking with parents from different walks of life, we are able to create ideas that apply to a diverse group of families. We work hard to provide you with information that is useful and easy to apply in your life.
Suggestions about parenting are readily available in both books and on the internet. This information can often be conflicting.
