Parenting skills develop slowly, over time, through trial and error.
As we move into parenthood, we begin re-examining our values and priorities and our relationships with those we love. We come to realize that we aren't as prepared as we would like to be for the shifts, changes, and challenges our children are bringing into our lives. As parenthood unfolds, we are offered many rich opportunities to grow as individuals, partners, and as parents. We develop self-confidence, find new purpose, and learn to give and receive unconditional love. Creating a healthy, caring family may well become the most fulfilling endeavor we ever undertake.
