Information and Resources for Parents, for Children
Because we care and our children matter

Many times we accept what we hear from people in positions of authority, so called experts, those we believe and trust to be experts and/or the media - and, yes, even schools.  Often people accept what they are told at face value simply because we have been assured that the people we are dealing with are "experts".  

A good rule of thumb is to question everything and everyone, any and all information being pumped at you.  If all is legitimate then being questioned will not be a problem for people.  However, if your "gut" is ever telling you something is wrong, if you are pressured in any way, if people try to lay the proverbial guilt trip on you, if they are slow to provide you answers if any answers at all, if their answers are vague or circular or leave you wondering what was just said or it makes no sense, etc., then that should be a red flag for you.  Listen to your "gut" your "inner voice", "intuition" or whatever you want to call it.  You are the expert on your child, you are the decision maker and most parents are better qualified to know what is best and in the long term best interest of their children.  

While there are many self avowed experts out there there simply is no one more expert about your child than you are.  

Following are many good resources for you to explore.
