Topic of the Month: Self Awareness

by Sumitha Bhandarkar.
(This article is part of the Self Awareness series. Get free article updates here.)

Self AwarenessA lot of the contention and confusion in parenting comes because often we don’t really know what we want! This month, let’s spend some time to understand who we are, what we stand for, what we want from our families, and life in general; so we can be more clear and intentional in our parenting! This page will be a placeholder for all the articles related to this topic. I will publish the first article today along with this page, and then update this page every Monday as a new article is published. For any reason, if you cannot play along just yet, you may want to bookmark this page so you can come back to it later. The most effective way to ensure that you don’t miss any articles is of course to sign up for the free weekly email notifications. Ok, here we go –

    How very kind of you to want to encourage other parents to be just that ,parents.You must have seen the world has some ignorance to the term in which some parents dont care to see.It is a very loving and caring site.The fact that people like yourself in this world ,makes me feel better and reminds me that there is still very kind people in the world. What a refreshing idea to make this site and to me,you desrve to have your own show.Due to the importance of the information you offer for free,and the people who need this communicated to them in a friendly,professional way that is deserving of a t.v. show,good luck to you and just thanks for being you.May god bless you
