November 15, 2019 by Meaghan Flenner

Families are busy these days. Between a parent’s busy home and work life, and kids in school with after school activities, it can be hard to figure out a balance.

Don’t Get Mad, Get Involved: Helping Your Child with Class Behavioral Issues

March 5, 2019 by Meaghan Flenner

No parent likes hearing that their child is acting out in class. At first, most of us want to blame ourselves and figure out what we’ve done wrong. When we come up empty, we tend to put the blame on our child, and sometimes we even get angry. The truth is, parents do the best […]

Why You Should Limit Phone Time For Your Teen

June 17, 2018 by Meaghan Flenner

When your child was small, they most likely couldn’t go to bed at night unless they had their favorite blanky or stuffed animal.
