" After many years of teaching parenting, I have come to realize that there is no one correct way to parent. There are as many ways as there are parents. I view my role as helping you to discover and create your own parenting style. What is equally important is the conclusion that the first place to look for parenting direction is within yourself. My desire is to help you discover, from looking within and from discussion with a partner, the unique ways you can parent. Parenting, seen this way, is more of an art than a science. It is a process, a way of life, and should be approached with confidence and self-assurance. Each parent can learn from others, but in the final analysis each parent must work with his or her partner to raise their children in a way that no one else could. Asking questions from others is an ideal strategy to discover and create your own approach and I hope I can help you with my answers."
