The parent-child relationship is the most important relationship we will ever have. This special bond affects the
physical, emotional, and social development of the child and thus is the foundation for possibly every other
relationship the child will have. Often this relationship creates the basis for the child's belief system and may
affect who and what the child becomes. Parenting today is not like it has ever been in any other generation. Some of
the basics will always remain the same, but children today need parenting on a whole other level because the world
has changed so greatly even in the last five years.
YOUth Matters, Volume 1 was written to help bridge the gap between parents and children in this new era.
Recognizing that not all traditional ways of parenting are always productive, I offer a unique perspective and tips to
parents who are receptive to applying different approaches when talking to, disciplining, and understanding their
children on a different level. This book speaks to every parent and every child offering hope, change, and
restoration in family dynamics while helping parents to destroy toxic parenting habits to help bring families closer
together with love and understanding.
