Welcome!
Sharon C. Peters at Parents Helping Parents offers help to all families: those facing transitions as well as those sorting through everyday challenges.
Practical suggestions help parents find solutions to problems that have been hard to unravel at home. Parents get to talk about what has or hasn’t worked for them, and try new strategies to move their families forward.

Explaining Things to Children
Children process things more fully when conversations are at their own pace and presented patiently. Parents can begin with one phrase at a time, leaving plenty of opportunity for their child to react or ask questions. If possible I suggest that parents talk for at least half as much time as their child.
