Susan C. Stone’s “Practical Parenting” Blog

What’s the most important job you’ll ever do with the least preparation? PARENTING! I know this as a Marriage and Family Therapist for over 30 years, a former teacher, a parent educator and coach, and, most importantly – as a parent!

Well-intentioned parents – which you are if you’re reading this – try frantically or methodically to educate themselves ON THE JOB. And there is plenty of material out there from which to seek guidance. In fact, there are so many theoretical approaches, that most parents are confused and even paralyzed trying to decide what to do and how to do it.

Help is on the way with PRACTICAL PARENTING – the “how to” approach for getting through the ups and downs of everyday life with your children and raising the kind of children you hope to turn out. Check this site for frequent articles and advice on common parenting issues as well as ways to address significant current events with your child.
