Folder Parenting Information
It would be easier for all of us if parenting challenges were predictable. But, in fact, families are complex, each having their strengths and weaknesses. When two adults are joined together in a solid relationship, they remain unique people with a bond of commitment. Each person brings her/his own perspective of love, parenting, housekeeping, work, financial management, and so forth, into the relationship. When a child enters the family, parents must deal with the unique personality of each child, assessing that child's special place in the family. Parents' roles and responsibilities change according to the child's needs. Likewise, the couple's relationship to each other changes.
