Life is a journey and sometimes we need guidance, someone to help show us the way, or just to help us see the way. The way that is there before us but we just can't quite see...a little nudge here...a little suggestion there.
Some guidance...to make it become clear, to make it easier, to make it better. Guidance to help us be better to our friends, to our family, to ourselves, and most importantly...to our children.

Did you know?
Let’s face it…all children misbehave
sometimes. One of the questions that we
frequently ask ourselves when our children
are engaging in unwanted behaviors is,
“Why?” A child’s behavior almost always
serves some type of purpose for that child;
however, when you find yourself with more
questions than answers it may be time to
consider a more serious condition such as
Oppositional Defiant Disorder or ODD. ODD is
defined by a recurrent pattern of
developmentally inappropriate levels of
negativistic, defiant, disobedient, and
hostile behavior toward authority figures.
Children with this disorder are best served
by a licensed mental health professional who
can provide both individual and family
therapy.
