"Because I Said So!" Blog ... Join the Discussion in 2012

Share your story of a time you received negative judgment on your parenting (or admit a time when you judged) then resolve to be less judgmental of parents in 2012!

When I tell people that I'm a Leadership Parenting Coach they give me a certain look. The one that says "I know some people who could really use your help!"

Ahhhh, it's so easy to judge, isn't it?

The topic of parenting can be such a touchy issue!  I want to change that.  And that's why I'll be blogging about it.

I want to bring the discussion from my "Because I Said So!" parenting advice column to a parenting discussion here.  

But let us be careful to not throw stones.  I'd like to have a thoughtful, frank, honest and fearless discussion about the parenting topics that affect us in Decatur (and beyond).

For those without children of your own, you are an important part of this discussion. Please write in.  

For those of us who struggle with the day to day aspects of parenting or perhaps just a topical issue, keep checking back for more discussions and chime in when you want. And for everyone, remember that none of us (yup, not even me) is perfect.  

In the spirit of The New Year, let's resolve to withhold judgment of others, and keep the focus on what we can do to improve our parenting or our attitudes about it.  

And, to get the ball rolling, tell me:  When were you most judged by your parenting (or, for the really brave, tell about a time when you mercilessly judged)?

I'm looking forward to a Bloggy New Year!
