Help for Children and Teens
As parenting styles have changed through the decades parents have sometimes become confused about how to raise kids that will grow to be good people. For those who also work there seems to be pressure related to doing it all well.

In these cases, self-care can make the difference between being there for an elderly parent in health or feeling crushed by the responsibility.
