I would love to say I have this parenting thing all figured out but we all know that is a complete lie. I often research for resources to use and learn about the concerns of my students to provide the best care I am able for my student, your child. I like to think of this page as my personal library of ideas I love, topics I need to learn about, and concerns I might have for students and my children in today's society. 

There is no way to be a perfect parent but a million ways to be a good one.
