“Your relationship is the garden in which your children grow”
Despite what we may think, good parenting doesn't really require an instruction. Children do not need the latest in child-rearing techniques. They need parents who know themselves and each other, and who understand that parenting is a journey, calling for strong character and sustained by love and nurturing.
We can best guide the course of our children‘s growth by trying to meet their essential needs (see Contact Us to request Meeting Your Child‘s Twelve Essential Needs). When we approach parenting with a joyful sense of responsibility, we realize that we have everything it takes to fulfill our children‘s needs. All we have to do is open our hearts and step out of the way.
Arrangements can be made for:
- Parenting Counseling for expectant and new parents, single parents, adoptive parents, step-parents facing the challenges of each stage of parenting.
- Relationships (Marriage) Counseling
- Parenting Salons (informal meetings with other parents (See Services and Programs for more information)
