Some of you are seasoned bloggers and some are newbies.

I will be creating posts that you can respond to or not. Your comments will come to me and I will add them here for all to see. Some of your comments and questions will also give me ideas of things to write about.
I hope that my posts can help get some dialogue and mutual support going between us. Raising children is always a big responsibility and many of us find our selves doing this with very little help. Even in our busy neighborhoods, we sometimes feel isolated. There seems to be a lot of pressure today to go it alone, to have all the answers, and instinctually know what's best for children. Yes, we know our child better than anyone else, but there are many complicated choices.
Children can't wait forever. They are looking to us for guidance. They need reasonable limits. They need our help because we have rich life experiences that they have not had yet which influence our daily decisions. Some of us have had positive role models who have taught us about how to love and mentor children. Some of us have wonderful people in our lives who partner with us for the benefit of our children. Some of us do not have these things. Whether we have support or not, we still need each other to figure out what the best next steps are for us as parents, family members, friends, and teachers. Children need us to work together
