Featured: Frank Dixon’s new book on how to raise resilient children!

It is highly important parents implement a parenting strategy. While it is always better to start as early as possible, starting late is better than never starting at all. Understanding positive parenting practices and principles is valuable to any parent or family member. It helps us to better understand our own behavior in relation to our children and the impacts and consequences which drives change for more positive outcomes. I encourage parents to find a parenting strategy that works best for them which in some cases means employing a combination of different strategies or testing different ideas and adopting some and leaving out ones that they may not find works in their circumstance. While there is a lot of similarity, every family situation and structure is unique. Most importantly, remember that a child’s childhood experience has an enormous impact on their future which shapes their adulthood life. Having a strategy is better than just figuring it out as you go or having no plan at all and hoping for the best. Having a parenting strategy gives children the best chance for success when they reach adulthood.
