Do you find that you get caught up in the daily chatter of your mind? It’s so easy to let our to do lists, frustrations, fears, and anger cycle round and round in our head.

For many years, parents have asked me to help them with their children’s behavior.  As parents, we’ve all had our own experiences when our children misbehave or act out, and we’re easily reminded how frustrated we become.  As parents, I’m sure we’ve all felt our own emotions take over when our child is melting down.  […] The post Wholehearted Parenting – Nurturing Your Child’s Brain…While Teaching Self-Discipline appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

For quite awhile I’ve wanted to have a conversation about child abuse…but something kept stopping me.  I felt that it was an important conversation to have, but one that felt very heavy and dark.
