Parenting as a Team
When a parent comes to me for help with their kids and tells me about their challenges, my first step is to ask questions about this family’s situation. The information they share with me usually sheds some light on circumstances that may be contributing toward, or causing at least some of the challenges this parent is currently experiencing.

You're Not The Boss of Me!
October 16th was National Boss’s Day.
If you have a boss at the office, did you take time to acknowledge him or her?
When I worked in Corporate America, I use to flip this upside down. I would
