"I started on my parenting journey almost 25 years ago..I have since had 2 more children and worked with many others over 15 years I was in child protection. One theme is always common...when we use the same toolbox our parents did we often times end up encouraging the same things we didn't want for our children. The task at hand for me was to get clear on what I needed help with and get help. And I did. Not to say I didn't make mistakes, because I did..but I learned from them :) Great post!" - Anita Fiander
