Parenting can be stressful for parents of children of any age. When both parents keep educated on what to do in certain typical situations, they strenghten their relationship with each other and with their children. This is purposeful parenting.
I have two resources to share to help parents of younger to school-age children.
Dr. Robyn http://drrobyn.wordpress.com/
Dr. Robyn Silverman has a “POWerful Words” system to share with parents and educators. She shares helpful tips using video blog posts and has a newsletter and a coaching service. I found her site while searching for information on nutrition and children. She is an advocate of reducing sugar intake and offering healthy choices for best mood support. Her web site is a wealth of information on all topics related to parenting.
Gem Parenting http://www.gemparenting.com/
Grace Mauzy, M.A., Founder of GEM Parenting, is a parenting coach who teaches parents about intervention and natural self-esteem methods that make raising children less confusing and stressful; and that make children behave better. She has free advice newsletters, a Gem Parenting blog, and a podcast on all topics related to parenting.

Dear Jeanne: Thank you! I’m hoping to be able to live up to the domain name I bought! An Info site. Now that I’ve been doing this a while I feel how fun it is to pass good information along, and possibly change somebody’s life for the better.
