My husband and I have two children--both attended Dixon Road Elementary and are now in middle & high school. We feel parenting is very rewarding,..but also one of the biggest challenges we've faced (only at certain times). Understanding how children grow and develop and learning how to communicate with your children is essential to the parent-child relationship. We are always working at building our connection with our children. Listed below are some common questions and common problems parents face. If you click on the question, you will be linked to an article that can answer that particular question.
