What Are Your Dreams for Your Family?
A Parent’s Journal for Dreaming
Parents who dream are more engaged in their child’s life. Couples who learn to dream together have marriages that are longer, fuller, and happier. When you dream—often and openly—your child grows up with a sense that you want what’s best for her. Now is your time to dream!
Parenting Preparation Inventory with Dr. Greg Bottaro
Until now, nothing like this has ever existed. It was created specifically for you—to help you start talking, to help you recognize helpful and harmful patterns, and to help you implement the strategies necessary to become great parents! You and your spouse will each sign up, answer a series of questions, and then discuss your results together.
