Like many others I am a parent and a wife. I am twenty-seven years old and live in the midwest. I find writing helps me organize my thoughts into a flowing stream rather than a patchwork quilt that they appear to be when coming out my mouth. I have an extensive knowledge of children and relationships. I am very observant so I decided to put my observations down. I often find myself in conversations where people give me odd looks when I mention an observation I had. I notice things that many do not. Not only do I notice them, but I ponder them. I am a very strong-minded individual; but also open to knew ideas. I love to read other people's articles. It gives me a glimple into the person. You can learn a lot about a person from the viewpoint they see things. I call it my hobby to observe human characteristics.
I love to write even more than I like to talk. Only, I can push the backspace button when I write. That is the single best button on the keyboard in my opinion.
My most influential teachers in my life have been my children. Through them I have learned things about myself and my expectations of others that I have never known. Things that did not interest me at all before now take priority.

How you do them and provide them is unique to your child. You are the only one that knows your child. So, you are the one that has to provide the “how”. You can’t count on a book or you may not get the results that you were hop...
