Helping Hands July: Parenting

Helping Hands July: Parenting

This month’s focus is on parenting. There are many parenting tips in the “Toolbox for Parents” There are also “steps to creating effective rules and consequences”. Rules and consequences can also be thought of as boundaries, which could apply to adult relationships.

The heat of the summer is beginning – relationships can become strained when the heat is on (sorry for the pun) – let’s help each by being kind and positive when experiencing troubles.

Thank you for being leaders in the workplace and for being the voice of rationality. It is important!

Bryan,
