As we begin another year, the shopping is done, and the backpacks are nearly packed. Now is the perfect time for us as parents to pause, reflect, and refocus on what it truly means to parent positively. Let’s consciously commit to being the best parents we can be this year by staying present in our children's lives. One effective way to achieve this goal is to align our schedules with our children's calendars. Together, let’s strive to remain present this year.
