For those of us that retire from the workforce, we should never withdraw from our commitment to children. It demands our continued efforts.

Parenting in the “wild” – random observations
Parenting is an all-consuming activity with hopefully many moments of joy and love and few moments of mishaps that need repair. We will all make mistakes but using our conscious abilities (being present, attentive, attuned and responsive) can help us build the relational health for our families and our own communities.
I Believe
Thinking developmentally is crucial for the care of children in the 21st century and beyond. We now have excellent science that can guide us to help build healthy children, nurturing families and communities that care.
