Parenting Is Tough,

The Numbers Prove It.

“This is the brutal reality about children – they’re such powerful stressors that small perforations in relationships can turn into deep fault lines.”

“Even though my partner and I had a wonderful relationship to begin with, we have enjoyed going through these videos since they encourage us to think about ourselves as parents. We have already begun to find some of the conflict resolution skills useful as well.”
